A person who cares

I cannot thank Tony enough for the outstanding job he did on my DWI case. From the very beginning, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. He took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt informed and prepared throughout.Tha...nks to his expertise and dedication, my case had a much better outcome than I expected. He genuinely cared about my future and as a mom of 3 my future could have been drastically changed. Tony went above and beyond for me. If you're facing a DWI charge and need someone who will fight for you and truly knows what they’re doing, I highly recommend Anthony Grostyan. He turned a stressful situation into something manageable, and I’m grateful to have had him on my side.

Invalid facts.

I had this lawyer back in 2019…. As he is a real genuine guy some of the things he stated were false. Such as telling me I should have refused breathalyzer. With that being said he didn’t reduced sentence. For first time you should not need an interlock device which I had. Just be weary of his pra...ctices. Confirm his facts. A big red flag is he states he helped 1000s but only 24, 5 star reviews. Good luck yall.

Excellent Attorney

Tony was very professional, knowledgable, and helpful every step of the way. He returned calls and emails himself, and was very kind and confident. Hiring a lawyer is not a fun thing to do, but he helped me through a really terrible time with compassion and hard work. Highly recommend!

So Happy, Thank You!!

Thank you so much for all your help, knowledge and patience during my difficult legal situation. I am sure there were times my phone calls, texts and emails were overwhelming. However you took the time to answer every one of them and kept me at ease, as much as possible anyway. His years of exper...ience, types of cases, knowledge of them and his expertise were so appreciated. He fought for the best outcome possible and am very happy with my results. I am so thankful I had Anthony on my side. I would not ask for a more supportive person in my corner. I have referred him on to others and will continue to do so. He is a great resource to have. Thanks again!!

Great Attorney!

Tony was very helpful and informative while representing me for a DWI case. I was so upset and ashamed and he guided me every step of the way. He was able to greatly reduce my fine and put off the case for almost a year which enabled me to deal with some other situations at hand. He is aggressive and... very knowledgable about the laws and well connected in the legal world. I wouldn't have been able to deal with this so confidently without Anthony Grostyan.
