DWI

Timothy Brooks is a highly recommended lawyer in my eyes. I was charged with 2 counts of of DWI, and a few other charges. Timothy worked hard and did all he could for me, inside and outside of the court room. All my charges ended with being thrown out and dismissed.

Professional & Effective

I was charged with my 2nd DWI within a 2 yr. period. Result of my first dwi was lost of license and 6 month probation. I feared going to jail or at very least 1 yr of probation while losing my license during that year. Because of Mr. Brooks' expertise in such cases he was able to get me the minimum t...he law allows which was no probation and just 6 months of loss of license which is mandatory with 2nd DWI. During the entire process he was professional and always made sure I understood what was possible and most likely to happen and what he was trying to do to get me the most favorable judgement possible which he ended up being able to do. I would highly recommend hiring him whether it's your first, second or sixth dwi, well worth the cost!!!

Expertise

Mr. Brooks prior experience as a law enforcement officer is invaluable to his skills as a criminal defense lawyer focused on DWI. It is wise to hire him because of his background and professionalism.

Stop looking Tim Brooks will get it done!!

I was arrested for DWI and a refusal. Serious charges and Tim was able to get it reduced and got my full license back while going through the complicated NYS process. Tim is a professional and knowledgeable attorney. He explained each step in detail with no surprises. He got the job done quickly and... allowed me to get back with my life. I am extremely greatful for Tim's hard work and constant support. Lastly, even the Judge was impressed by what Tim was able to accomplish in my case. Don't be foolish and go it alone call Mr. Tim Brooks Esq.

Very special thanks Tim!!!

Tim Brooks represented me in Buffalo City Court on a DWI case. I would of not received any better representation from any other attorney. Being a CDL holder I had everything to lose and was about to suffer a life changing sentence. Tim really took the time to listen to my situation and decided the... best plan of attack for my case. I trusted Tim and listened to everything he asked of me right away. While courts are strict on DWI's these days, Tim knew everything he needed to know every appearance without a single hiccup. While the process is depressing and somewhat long with multiple court appearances, Tim was able to work some of those curve balls the court was throwing to work in my favor. Ultimately Tim saved my CDL and turned a life changing event into a pause in my life. I thank Timothy Brooks from the bottom of my heart!!! On a separate note..... I received a speeding ticket on 219 prior to my DWI. Going through both at the same time, nervous for license. Tim represented me in Town of Boston also. I was there for 10 minutes and mailed the fine in later.
