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
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!

Highest Recommendation
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!

Dewey represented me and the results were remarkable! He was very honest and detailed about my situation and possible outcomes and went the extra mile to ensure my defense was tuned and timed with precision. All charges were dismissed. If you are looking for the best - Dewey Brinkley.

The Best Lawyer In North Carolina
I got pulled over for a DUI and we went through all the tests! LISTEN, Mr. Dewey saved my butt. He was very responsive and through this scary process that I was super fearful of he helped me relax. He seriously was the calm in my anxious world at that time. At the end of the case my charges were dropped Bc Dewey was SO GOOD.
Give him a call I promise you it’ll be worth it, he will do everything in his power to help you out. Hopefully you will get through it just like I did with a clean record.

HIGHLY Recommended!!!
I was charged with a simple assault when a man was in my home, with a history of physical, sexual and emotional abuse against me. I was immediately arrested, and he was allowed to stay in my home (which I paid for), and with my son (a baby), while I was ordered to not return home. Dewey got the entire thing dropped. He was able to assist after hours when this abusive man also tried to get me arrested on false accusations 2 months later. I called Dewey on his direct mobile number (even tho no longer employed by me) and he offered to speak directly to the officer at 7pm at the location of the incident. Officer got off phone and told me if not for Dewey they would have arrested me. Officer also realized the man trying to falsely accuse me was abusive, and not to be trusted - only after speaking with Dewey. Dewey is the Absolute Best attorney I've had the pleasure to work with. The Very Best.

The best
Last year I was charged with a DUI. I meet with a couple lawyers that were supposedly the best at helping people that were in my same situation and None thought that I would win my case. I went out on a limb myself and found a lawyer Mr. Brinkley and can not begin to say how good he is. He was professional, reliable, and positive throughout the entire case. I ended up winning the case, even If I would have lost I would not want to have any other lawyer on my side. I would strongly recommend him to anyone!!

Excellent attorney
I had an excellent experience with Mr. Brinkley and his staff. Mr. Brinkley was knowledgeable and efficient in handling my situation. I would highly recommend him. He is a wealth of knowledge and without him, I am not certain things would have turned out as well for me.

Mr Brinkley is professional, compassionate and AMAZING
My son was visiting friends in North Carolina when he got a DWI (and several other charges) and was arrested. We live in Illinois and I called Mr. Brinkley to handle his case, who immediately called me back and went to the jail to meet with my son and let him know everything was going to be already. For a very modest cost Mr. Brinkley handled everything. Once my son got back to Illinois Mr. Brinkley kept in constant contact letting him know what to expect and suggesting things he could do to help the situation like entering rehab. Mr. Brinkley appeared in court several times for my son so he did not have to fly to North Carolina. Finally when my son did have to appear in court Mr. Brinkley explained exactly what the possible outcomes would be and how he was going to approach the matter. The final outcome was amazing - all charges except the DWI were dismissed, the absolute minimal requirements for the DWI (no jail time) were imposed, and a minimal fine. We were amazed and commented that we wished we could take Dewey back to Illinois with us. We highly recommend Mr. Brinkley.
