DUI

I was faced with one of the most difficult choice's in my life. Who do I hire for my DUI. I interviewed 8 attorneys. All 8 talked about the ramifications of a DUI, potential plea deals, possible outcome's ect. However, one and only one took the time to listen to every single detail of my case. At... ever juncture of the proceedings Mr Sullivan clearly explained every possible defense. Tim never promised anything nor did he sugar coated anything. I was impressed by his professionalism and expertise of the DUI law's. This was without question the attorney I wanted walking into court with me. In my particular case I was charged a fair and reasonable fee. No additional charges beyond that. Russo and Russo is the finest legal firm I have ever dealt with. The outcome was the best I could have possibly hope for.

Pinellas DUI Case Closed

Overwhelmed with shock and dismay I felt helpless as the mound of lawyer letters grew to thirty. I knew that I needed help but had no knowledge of the law. That’s when my girlfriend opened up her lap top. After a few days of research and reading reviews she said, “I think this is your guy.” She point...ed to the 10.0 rated AVVO profile of Timothy Sullivan. Since many of the lawyers had a 10.0 rating I decided to dig deeper. I read a lot of information. Overall what people had said about Tim seemed more genuine than the others. After spending long questioning sessions at different law firms we realized the clear choice. Having to see in writing that it was “me vs. the state” I imagined 20 million residents against me alone. It was not people that I was fighting, it was a machine. Just as Mr. Sullivan knew that confounded breathalyzer inside and out, he also knew the judicial system machine. He encouraged that system to give me justice by exposing its imperfections. The officer and prosecutor can get it wrong and even a judge can make a mistake. You need a lawyer with experience, logic, and common sense so that they can make sure that you are not steam-rolled by injustice. Tim knew where the prosecutor had been and knew where he was going. Mr. Sullivan was honest, capable, and not afraid to stand up in the court room to unravel every twist and turn thrown by the opposition. Past offences, refusal to blow; none of that matters. Be relentless, fight; it’s a long process and believe in Tim while he builds your case. Do not give up. It took an overzealous police officer to put me on this path but I fought back; evidence suppressed, case closed, because of Tim Sullivan and Russo & Russo. This is your guy. The exceptional supporting office staff played an invaluable role as well.

A true Gem!

Mr. Sullivan helped my daughter with a traffic and probation situation that happened in FL while she was living there a few years ago. She never cleared up the incident and moved from FL to another state. Needless to say, the DMV is all connected and incidents show up at every states DMV. Mr. Sulliva...n worked with us long distance to clear up my daughter's traffic and probation charge with the FL court. He was reliable and consistent in his communication with us and he is one of the best lawyers I have ever worked with. Thanks Tim!

Highly Recommend - Saved Me From a DUI

Tim Sullivan saved me from having a DUI on my record in a case where I had blown well over the legal limit. On the morning of my trial, the state attorneys offered to reduce my DUI charge to Wreckless Driving after witnessing Mr. Sullivan question the Intoxilyzer inspector in front of the judge in or...der to determine whether or not his testimony would be included in my trial. Before Mr. Sullivan can finish his line of questioning, the judge dismissed the inspector and told the state he's allowing all of the testimony. Mr. Sullivan was on point with his questioning and facts and demonstrated that he knows how the Intoxilyzer device works better than the inspector. Mr. Sullivan was confident and helpful throughout the trying process for me and my family.

The Long Haul

When my case began, we all understood it would be a long walk to the finish line. At each step, Mr Sullivan was working for my interests. He presented me with how the case was proceeding, my options, what I hoped to get, and from there I was always able to make a well informed decision. He present...ed me with all the evidence and accusations, and we developed a long term approach to our case and began to prepare for trial. At each stage, Mr Sullivan was available and positive. Framing the case from the judge's perspective and the state's perspective. I was supplied with all relevant materials pertaining to my case ie depositions, discovery items, etc. Mr Sullivan did an excellent job advocating for my best interests.
