Garret Patrick Rooney

Horrible! As his clients he never returned my phone calls and I had to hired another lawyer to get in touch with him for my divorced paper . He doesn’t answer my phone calls and called me to requested rest of the payment and he received the rest of the money and he still haven’t gotten back to me eve...n in his own client. I would never recommend him to someone . I’m wondering all this good reviews it might be people he pay too or he asked friend to leave good review, because on my side bad experience and I still waiting for him to answer me or call me as his client. Very disappointed! Thank you

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

I was referred to Mr. Rooney by a friend after I had met with two other lawyers. I was pulled over and arrested for DWI. The DA would not offer a plea bargain because they claimed I blew a .17 when I was pulled over and tested on the side of the road, and then blew a .13 at the police precinct. Th...e other lawyers I spoke with seemed to be trying to convince me that I would be found guilty of DWI, a crime, and they would try to reduce probation (3years) if possible. THIS IS MY FIRST TIME EVER IN TROUBLE!!! Mr. Rooney took the time to sit with me and go over everything, not rushing to judgment, but rather making me feel as comfortable and confident (in this unfortunate predicament) that he would do the absolute best he could for me. I also have an uncle who is a police officer in Nassau County, and when he found out about my arrest he was glad that I was being represented by Garret Rooney. My uncle told me he knew Mr. Rooney and he is the best attorney he knows, especially for DWI. Mr. Rooney fought very hard for me, even when the DA said there would be no plea bargaining Mr. Rooney kept fighting. At the hearings (before trial) Mr. Rooney was able to question the officer who pulled me over, and the officer at the precinct who did further tests on me. I was amazed as I watched Mr. Rooney question these officers, pointing out all the things they did wrong, all the things they didn't do, all the things they didn't know. A couple of weeks after the hearings we were back in court and the DA finally offered a plea bargain to driving while impaired which is not a crime. I could tell the DA didn't want to make this offer but it was obvious, as others have stated, he was no match for Mr. Rooney. I decided, very happily, to accept the plea bargain. Now I will not have a criminal record. The impaired charge is just a violation, like a ticket. I don't have to go to probation, no chance of jail (although Mr. Rooney assured me I wouldn't do any jail on my first charge with the .13 and one ticket for speeding), nor any of the other penalties/requirements that I would have had if I chose one of the other lawyers. I know this is a long post but I can't say enough about Mr. Rooney and I am very lucky that I had him on my side. Anyone arrested for DWI, or anything, would be crazy not to hire, or at least meet with, Mr. Rooney. Also, he has an office in Mineola. He is the best lawyer and I will recommend him to everyone I know.
