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.

Amazing Representation!

We hired Mr. Brooks to defend my fiance on the charge of driving while intoxicated. Because he had had previous DWI charges in another state, we were terrified that he was going to face a felony and jail time. Mr. Brooks was extremely compassionate, very thorough, and incredible in the courtroom. I... am disabled, and had my fiance gone to jail, we would have had great difficulty paying our bills. Mr. Brooks did everything in his power to reduce the charges, and was extremely successful! He was able to get the charges reduced to driving while impaired, no jail time, and a minimal fine. We could not have asked for better results! I would highly recommend Mr. Brooks to anyone who is dealing with this kind of situation, he was incredible!

DWI defense

Tim was excellent in helping me get my sentence reduced from an aggravated DWI to DUI. He pleaded my case to the DA in full support of me. He gave me great council, was honest in what the outcomes could be ad supported me in what I had done in recovery and highlighted this to the court.
