Excellent trustworthy lawyer

I am very happy that I chose Mr.Brinkley to handle my charges of DWI of 3 times over BAC limit, reckless driving, test refusal, accident and other charges. He spent time to go over every detail about my case, and presented my case at court with his excellent experience. He very patiently and promptly... answered all my questions along the way. I got least possible penalty allowed by law considering all my charges. I am happy to be able to drive again. My sincere thanks to you Mr. Brinkley.

Highly Recommended!

Dewey is an excellent attorney and keeps a calm, level head in all situations. I was in a difficult situation with false criminal charges pending, and Dewey guided me through the process until all charges were dismissed. I highly recommend him!

Attorney "that you can Trust ,with your Legal matters".

He is an outstanding, smart ,effective lawyer with superb, client communications. He was always there to answer all my questions, walked me through the process and to get all documents completed and filed. He is someone I would recommend Highly and refer too family and friends, if they ever need... help. He treats you as if you are his only client… He understands that when people come to him they are scared and confused, and he takes his time to explain all your options and suggests which one he feels would work best for you. I could not have asked for a better attorney.I have hired him Several times , with winning results!

Criminal Charges

Mr. Brinkley is a talented and dedicated attorney who I trusted during a very scary and low point in my life. I was facing a felony charge and was totally devastated that my life could be ruined. Mr. Brinkley responded to all of my calls and texts, patiently explained and guided me through each ste...p of the legal process, thoroughly researched and consulted with other attorneys to enhance our defense, and ultimately saved me from what easily could have resulted in a criminal record and jail time. I would recommend Mr. Brinkley to anyone needing the best criminal defense attorney in NC. Thank you again, Mr. Brinkley, for everything.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
