    Review Dewey Brinkley

    I wish I had found him sooner!

    Posted by

    AMAZING results at an affordable price. I had multiple traffic tickets that included charges of speeding, DWLR, and other infractions. I thought I would never get my license back, but Mr. Brinkley made it happen. PLEASE do yourself a favor and contact him! You won't regret it!

    Extremely talented and brilliant defense attorney.

    Dewey Brinkley is an incredibly talented and gifted attorney who actually cares. He is patient, answers all your questions, is respectful and 100% honest. Mr. Brinkley helped me during the most difficult and stressful time of my life when I was facing a felony charge. I have never met a lawyer as skilled or hard working as Dewey Brinkley - I would recommend him to anyone who needs the top gun attorney when things really go wrong and you simply need the best defense attorney in the state. I couldn't be happier with the outcome of the case...a voluntary dismissal.

    Prompt and professional

    I highly recommend retaining Mr. Brinkley for your legal matters. Mr. Brinkley is an extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and experienced attorney, who promptly resolved and processed an expungement for me.

    Dewey is by far and wide the best decision I made when deciding to fight my DUI charge. He is patient, calm, analytical, and really takes the time with his client. My charge was dismissed because of a detail Dewey recognized on my case and saved me years of insanely expensive insurance costs and the grief that comes with a DUI conviction. I honestly don’t think there would be many other attorneys that would have been able to get the same results and also put in the time and effort for their client. Dewey is an excellent person and an amazing attorney.

    Excellent Attorney with Optimal Results

    Posted by

    Mr. Brinkley handled my case with the highest level of professionalism and expertise. From the moment he was hired, he was open and honest with the possible outcomes, but was also reassuring in the explanations necessary steps to move forward and the way that he answered every question I had. He was readily available from the beginning, and he was promptly responsive to calls and emails. He was along with me every step of the way, taking time to explain what exactly was going on during each step of the process, as well as what I could expect in the future. He is extremely knowledgeable and proficient with getting the best possible outcome for his clients. He is worth every penny spent - you will not be sorry!

    Mr. Brinkley is an exceptional, honest and gifted attorney who was committed and dedicated to get the best outcome in my case from day one. He is a good listener, goes above and beyond to help and cares about details. Mr. Brinkley answered my questions and got me the outcome I was dreaming of. He was always very supportive and assured me of the best outcome during the most difficult time of my life when I was facing a charge that could have destroyed my life. I strong recommend Mr. Brinkley to anyone; he is the best criminal defense attorney in the state. He got my case dismissed. Really, THANK YOU, Mr. Brinkley.

    Highest Recommendation

    Posted by

    Dewey was better than I could have asked for. My case was a very odd one, and was going to be difficult to defend and he managed to get it completely dismissed. He was responsive (within minutes) at every point of contact we had. I could not imagine hiring anyone else to defend me if anything else were to happen. Thank you Dewey! You were phenomenal!

    Mr. Brinkley has established a practice and reputation in Wake County for effective representation and excellent results. However, it is his client service that sets him apart, as he is responsive to client needs and communicates tirelessly with his clients.
