Great DWI Attorney

Garret P. Rooney reperesented me in an unfortunate DWI situation. He was very receptive and informatve. He is the consummate professional. I highly recommend him to anyone involved in a legal matter. He knew more than the police officers about the testing, how it is to be performed, clues to lo...ok for and so on. The district attorney tried to force me into taking a plea, threatening to add more charges if i went to trial. Mr. Rooney was vey professional, handled all pre-trial hearings and conducted the trial. The jury came back with an acquittal (not guilty) on all charges. It was clear that the district attorney, as well as the police, were no match for Mr. Rooney. If you ever find yourself in trouble I recommend calling him at 516-248-1200

Thank you Garret!

I got arrested and charged with a charge that I shouldn't have gotten. A close friend recommended Garret to me and it was the best decision I made. Garret was very understanding and honest with me, and got me out of the wrong charge that the police tried to give me. I would recommend Garret to anyone... in need of a lawyer. He is a fine attorney.

Amazing DWI Lawyer

I was arrested for DWI by Amityville Police. Mr. Rooney was not my original lawyer but he did the hearings and trial for my lawyer. He was incredible, I wish I knew to hire him before I hired my original lawyer but at least my lawyer told me that if I wanted to go to trial I should use Mr. Rooney. ... He was incredible and knew more about DWI, how alcohol affects the body, how the breath machine works (and all its flaws) then any other person I spoke with about my case. My friend is a Cop in Nassau county and he told me that Mr. Rooney was the best. I'm glad I was lucky enough to get his help. I was found not guilty. I owe everything to Mr. Rooney but the best thing I can do is to tell everyone I know that he is the man! Thank you

DWI Trial

Mr. Rooney just finished my DWI trial in Long Beach and on 7/21/14 the jury found me not guilty of all charges. Mr. Rooney fought very hard for me. I owe my future to him. Anyone charged with a DWI should retain him. It has been 2 long years but he never gave up on me.

Great Lawyer

I hired Garret Rooney to help me with a DWI arrest. The District Attorney would not offer me a reduced charge because I was under 21, I was involved in an accident trying out my friend' scar and I refused to take the breath test. Garret went over all of my options and I'm glad I followed his advic...e. We went to trial and I was found innocent.
