Fast peace of mind.

I don’t know what I would have done without Attorney Brooks. I was wrongly accused regarding a charge of which I had no knowledge of. It could have affected my Profession. Attorney Brooks gave me immediate attention. Would definitely recommend him to anyone with a criminal matter.

Quality Representation

I was arrested for DWI, unsafe lane change and not updating the address on my driver's license. I also refused a chemical test. Tim was extremely helpful. He put my mind at ease, and calmly walked through all of the potential outcomes. While we lost the refusal hearing, Tim was able to get the non-DW...I charges reduced to a parking ticket. He was also able to get the DWI charges reduced to DWAI after successfully cross-examining the police officer during testimony. I hope that I never have to call Tim again for a traffic-related incident, but I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone else that needs legal representation.

Outstanding Representation

I was charged with a DWI along with another traffic violation a few months ago. I called the trbovich law firm after I read a number of reviews and was linked up with Tim Brooks. He was strait forward as to every and any possible outcome that could play out and had a game plan for all of it. He was a...lways available to answer any questions throughout the process and was very thorough in his explanations and broke it down to a level anyone could relate to so there wasn't any misconceptions about the proceedings. In the end he got the results he had anticipated and fought for. For anyone seeking legal council especially with DWI cases I would 100% point you in the direction of this lawyer. He won't let you down and is there every step of the way while making every case as important as yours. I couldn't think of a better lawyer to have had on my team.

Excellent, professional, and reassuring.

I had a lapse in judgement and thought that I could drive my vehicle whilst impaired to get home from a friends house. My poor judgement and decision resulted in an arrest and charges for a DWI, amongst two other smaller charges. I was fortunate enough to be able to hire Tim as my lawyer to defend me... against the charges brought up against me. Tim was there throughout the entire six month process, constantly reassuring me (as I am generally a nervous wreck), providing support, excelllent legal advice, and was always a text/call away. In the end, he brought my charges down to miscellaneous parking tickets. He handled the case professionally and it came with excellent results. I certainly learned my lesson and am so so thankful for everything he had and has done. Absolutely recommend.

Pick Him!

I happened to find Tim by chance and what great fortune after some misfortune. Aside from being very personable he knows the law and all the people in the courts as well. Of three charges he was able to get two dropped and the main DWI reduced to a traffic violation. I'd highly recommend him to anyon...e who finds themselves in a similar circumstance!
