Impeccable

I’ve had to hire Garret twice within a 3 month period for 2 separate serious criminal cases. The outcome on both were incredible. If you’re in need of a tremendous lawyer then do yourself the favor and hire this man.

Garret Rooney is A WINNER

Thank you Garret, you did it! We won! I met with numerous lawyers, who told me "take a plea bargain, you cant win". How wrong they were. You took my case and won. Thanks for being a down to earth person, for keeping me confident and answering every question, every step of the way. Because of your... drive and extensive knowledge of DWI law, justice was served and WE WON! Your a true fighter!

Won't find better lawyer

Unfortunately have had to hire Garrett in the past. The outcome would have been extremely worse if not for his ability. Currently having to hire Garett again, my wife and I have great hope and trust in Garrett. We are confident he will do the best for me. I would recommend Garrett to anyone who is fa...cing any criminal charges. Sincerely TH

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.

He is an attorney that will always fight for his clients. I highly endorse Mr. Rooney."
