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

Above & Beyond

Mr. Rooney was very knowledgeable regarding NYS DWI laws. He has an excellent court room present & is a fantastic trial attorney. I am confident anyone would be pleased with his ability to represent them in all area's of the law.

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.

Best Attorney medical malpractice

Mr. Garret P. Rooney helped me when I was misdiagnosed and sent home by a hospital when I was really injured. I could have died from my injuries. Garret is the finest attorney I know, and he is also a caring, good-hearted, respectable person. He is just a "regular guy" which I mean as an enormous ...compliment. He is an asset to the legal community and his reputation is impeccable. He treated me, and represented me, as he would have done if I was his brother (we have the same last name but we aren't related). Garret is someone I can trust, caring more about others than himself. I wish more people, not just attorneys, were like Garret. He really cares.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Mr. Rooney was an opposing counsel on many criminal matters that I directly supervised as the former supervisor of DUI/DWI prosecutions. He zealously advocated both at the negotiation and litigation stage on behalf of each of his clients, and obtained favorable outcomes as a result. He is an attorney that will always fight for his clients. I highly endorse Mr. Rooney."
