In need of a keen lawyer-ninja when you're in that situation? Found myself in one of those recently. They tried pinning a DUI on me in addition to other traffic "charges". All charges dismissed. Standup man, professional, smooth operator, and honest. My future law needs has his business. A+!
Mr. Brinkley made my first experience with a lawyer very simple and guided me through the whole process. He and his staff our very friendly and provided immediate assistance and answers whenever I called or came by the office . Re: misdeameano/minor expungement
Each time I call staff is so friendly I have big faith in god and this awesome man. Helping my kick start my case. Wouldn't want to any other way.
John has been a huge blessing in my life. I've hired him to represent me in two cases, and both times I've been extremely satisfied with his services. His rates were very reasonable. On one case, he spend a lot more time and effort than he originally anticipated would be necessary, and he didn't charge me a cent extra than our initially agreed upon deal. But more important than money, John has a big heart. He is a very solid respectable lawyer, and I'll definitely be going to John again if I ever legal advice or representation.
I have retained John Brinkley, Jr. For multiple cases over the past 10 years, including DUI, child custody, and other misdeamenors. I was very satisfied with the service and results. He is very personable and knowledegeable. I appreciated the respect and confidence he had with me. I felt has though he "had my back" which decreased my fears related to the cases. As, he entered the court room I knew my help had arrived. Thank God for John Brinkley Jr.!!
Mr Brinkley handled my ssdi case with utmost professionalism. I met Mr. Brinkley in February and my case was settled in April of this year, I couldn't have asked for better results. If you need a lawyer that will get things done, contact Brinkley and Brinkley.
I hired Mr. John Brinkley after I was arrested for a felony for possession of marijuana. I was currently already on State probation for possession of controlled substance. I was denied bond and held on a probation hold. He fought for me to get released on a probation bond which he accomplished for me. I could of been revoked on my probation and sent to prison for 8 yrs for just being arrested. Instead of going to court for probation violation he got it postponed until my new case was resolved. Unfortunately I failed a drug test for marijuana a month before I went to trial. So when it came time to go to trial my probation officer wanted me to do time and not receive more probation. Of course I was blessed to have a GREAT attorney that did everything to keep me outta prison and jail. I received 2 yrs on probation and 3 yrs suspended in prison. I'm blessed to have another chance and not go to prison for a crime that I did commit but what it all boiled down to was having a very smart and dedicated attorney that did everything he could to get me the best case scenario I possibly could receive. I think GOD for the help John Brinkley has done for me. I hope this review will help someone else that is looking for an attorney that actually will do the best they possidly can for you.
My husband and I retained John to represent our son on criminal drug charges. It was our first experience dealing with anything like this. He was kind, sympathetic and gracious. We felt he went the extra mile.
John handled my recent personal injury claim. He was always very quick to respond to my inquiries and questions. Very knowledgeable! Also has a great sense of humor, which comes in handy when dealing with a lawsuit :) I'm very happy with the final number he was able to negotiate.
As a court appointed attorney he is petty, selfish and tries to solicits money on the side which is illegal.
