Brian and his team helped us through a very difficult period in our life. Brian and his team were knowledgeable, and explained things to us, and worked diligently to ensure we had the best outcome possible. I would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of them.

Brian Starkman is who you want to represent you in this type of situation. He is incredibly knowledgeable and kept me informed from start to finish on every detail for my trial. I am so grateful to his hard work and experience. He was able to get my DUI charge dropped to careless driving which was beyond my expectations for the outcome.

This was a very stressful situation in my life, because I was facing my second dui. I knew I had to hire the best to represent me in court. I did my research and came across Brian Starkman’s office. What he told me from the first meeting about the chance of my case is what the outcome was after trial. He was able to win my case completely and all my charges were dropped. Amazing lawyer, very gifted, confident and extremely knowledgeable. Do not hesitate to hire this firm, specially if your future is on the line you need the best on your side to fight for you!

The decision to hire Starkman Law was undoubtedly the best decision I made for my situation. Mr. Starkman and associates exhibited professionalism to the highest extent. Answering questions and keeping me updated when they could. He's an honest and confident man who works hard to achieve the best results possible. I am grateful beyond word for the hard work and fight Mr Starkman brought for my case. If you're ever stuck in this stressful situation, I truly recommend Mr Starkman and his associates. They truly deliver.

I would highly recommend Brian and his team as they were informative, patient, knowledge and always available when needed. I had endless questions and they were always answered with care, kindness and respect. I felt like I could breath again knowing that I had that team of people on my side. My charges were ultimately reduced and I am beyond grateful. Thank you so much

Brian is a seasoned professional. Since day 1, he has demonstrated a strong knowledge-base of this area and strong communication with his client. I am an American who was charged with over 80, and his reviews were the reason I selected him. The reviews live up to the hype. It's extremely apparent that his colleagues know him and respect his abilities. He was able to arrange a pre-trial deal down to a careless driving traffic offense, instead of the over 80. He certainly under promises, and over delivers. I would highly recommend his services.

I was charged with impaired and over 80. I didn't think I had a chance of winning but I took a chance on Mr. Starkman because I had heard so many good things about him. Best decision of my life! He was ferocious in court and made a brilliant legal argument to the judge. I was found NOT GUILTY on both charges. He saved my career! He is so worth the money.

I am very thankful to Brian and his team for reducing my DUI, over 80 mg and speeding offence to a careless driving charge. This team knows what they are doing and were able to put me at ease throughout the entire process. (as much at ease as one could be given my circumstances) I had some serious thoughts at first as to whether or not I should fight my charges. To me, it seemed like a slam dunk that I would be found guilty with no possibility of lenience. I am so glad that I hired Brian and will be forever thankful to them.

Bad Bad Bad and even more bad. He's a scammer. Said that I had a good case do win my over 80mgs case. I paid $15,000 plus taxes and then on the trial day he told me my case was a loser. Why not be upfront with me and save 1 year of my time and hard earned $$$ that he took from me!

Brian is an awesome lawyer. He was honest and was able to explain everything, without sugar coating it or creating a false hope that other lawyers offered. In court, Brian was diligent and asked questions to ruin the credibility of the witnesses. He is a very good lawyer and I would highly recommend him if you are ever in a situation that requires a lawyer.

Brian Starkman represented me for my over 80 and impaired charges. Mr. Starkman was very honest with me from the beginning advising me of what the possible outcome would be if we lost at trial. Brian is a very experienced and knowledgeable lawyer, with all of his hard work and dedication; I was acquitted on both counts! I would highly recommend Brian Starkman as a lawyer to anyone in trouble with the law.

Regarding Mr. Starkman's representation in my situation of being charged with 80mg over on alcohol, I found him to be most helpful and knowledgeable. He was no nonsense and right to the point. My proceeding was pushed back 16 months and we met a few times over this period. On the court date Mr. Starkman was able to negotiate the charge down to a careless charge thus allowing me to continue my career in driving. I would strongly recommend him in the future.

A family member was charged with impaired and over 80. I found Mr. Starkman through an internet search and we hired him because of the large number of positive reviews he has received online. To be honest, up until the trial I was worried we’d made the wrong decision and the reviews might be exaggerated or false…but once the trial started I knew the reviews were 100% accurate and that we had made the right decision. Mr Starkman is a gifted trial lawyer. He is highly skilled and his cross examinations of crown witnesses was incredible to watch. The end result after a three day trial was not guilty on both counts due to lack of evidence and a Charter breach. Mr. Starkman was worth every penny and we strongly recommend him.

BRIAN IS THE MAN I was looking at 3 years suspension, 30 days jail & 3 years interlock. I looked up 15+ lawyers. No lie, I felt hopeless and thought my life was over. The matter took a 13 months to go to trial and every week I looked up reviews on Brian to make sure I made the right decision of hiring him and to make sure he wasn't just after my money. The day of the trial came and I was scared for my life. Brian was very calm and the way he cross examined the Police, WOW, this guy knows his stuff. My advise, hire Brian because his knowledge is BEYOND what you can imagine. Both of my charges were dropped and I pleaded guilty to careless driving (non criminal) but no 3 year suspension or jail or interlock! I'm able to drive for work purposes for 12 months then back to normal driving. This guy saved my life! ps: Learn from your mistakes because this stuff can have a serious impact on your life. Thank you Brian!

STAY AWAY FROM THIS GUY! All he cares about is money. I can understand if he tried and then lost the case however, he did absolutely NOTHING. He did not keep me in the loop of what was going on with my case throughout the year. I could've defended myself better at the trial instead of wasting $11,000 on this useless guy.

Attention to anyone who’s had the embarrassment of receiving a DUI or over 80 Charge. My name is Matthew and I was one of those people. Fearful and Distressed about what my grim future might become, I knew I had to fight these charges. Mr. Starkman is listed as one of the top attorneys for DUI’s and other criminal charges. Mr. Starkman took the time, reviewed my case and deliberated. My case looked dreadful and bleak, once my trial came I felt defeated. Mr. Starkman relived my concerns on the matter and began to use any and all evidence to seek imperfections within the case that is within a reasonable doubt. After Two long days, the case was finally dismissed, I was Hysterical with relief. I can say without a doubt that Mr. Starkman has gone above and beyond to fight for my case. Mr. starkman encouraged me to learn from my mistakes and most importantly a second opportunity. The difference between Mr. Starkman and any other attorney is he takes the time to understand and sympathise. If

I had been charged with an over80 in Nov 2016,after an extensive research and a lot of phone call ,I decided to retain Brian Starkman as my attorney.After my first consultation,I was quite confident with his legal skills and his assurance that he wouldn't settle for anything less than a dismissal,first forward to march,6th 2018 my case came up for the hearing, at first Brian looked relaxed but focused,as the cops were testifying,it was during his cross examination that I realize how skillled Brian Starkman was.He took charge of the court and this led to my acquittal,that they didn't have enough evidence to charge me further.I wannna take this moment to thank mr Brian for his excellent work and I highly recommend his legal services especially if it's related to DUI

Brian Starkman is the best at what he does. I was facing an Over 80 charge and was having the hardest time coping with the circumstances associated with the charge, more importantly the impact it would have on my career. I consulted Brian and let him take care of it from then on. We went to trial and the knowledge and expertise that Brian has in this field is amazing, he is able to pick out all the issues in your case and goes after every possible discrepancy. The way he uses case law and his ability to cross examine witnesses was just amazing to watch. He puts in his all and wants to win the case as much as the client himself, because he hates to lose. In my example he went to the judge even after our trial finished just to argue one more important point which would have been the deciding factor in my decision. At the end he was able to withdraw my charge and I would say he is definitely worth the investment!

I was charged with Over 80. A criminal record would have ruined my future. I was referred to Mr. Starkman. His only promise to me was that he would do his best. He worked so hard on my case. He served a huge motion on the court arguing that my rights were violated. Part way through the trial, he was able to persuade the Crown to withdraw the Over 80 charge in exchange for me pleading guilty to a traffic charge. No criminal record! No license suspension! Mr. Starkman is worth every penny and then some!!

I was charged with Over 80. I was terrified I would get a criminal record and lose my job. I hired Brian. He worked very hard on my case. He put together a motion arguing that my right to counsel was infringed. His argument concerned the Crown so much that we were able to resolve my matter by allowing me to plead guilty to a non-criminal traffic offence. The criminal charge of Over 80 was dismissed. I am ecstatic at this result and I owe it all to Brian and his team.

I had Brian Starkman as the legal counsel on a over 80 case. From the beginning Brian and Karen were very professional in all of my interactions. I was always able to reach Karen for any questions or concerns. Brian gave me a very good idea from the get go of what I can expect and he delivered what he promised. I had my over 80 case dropped to a traffic violation. I was charged sometime around April of 2016 and the matter was resolved by Jan 2017. I would highly recommend Brian if you want your dollars worth and peace of mind that your case is being handled by an experienced professional - M.K

My overall experience with Mr Starkman and his assistant Karen has been very satisfying. I was charged with a DUI over .80 back in February of this year. I have to admit I was very scared of the consequences that followed. I did my research and found that Mr Starkman has a good reputation of fighting these type of cases. I, like many other in my previous situation, was desperately looking for some way out of the trouble I was in or looking to face. I hired Mr Starkman after meeting with him as he was honest with me and explained the possible outcomes. Though I was looking for good news or words of hope, he did not give me any false hope or discouraged me. He is honest and straight forward. At the day of my trial, Mr Starkman was professional and VERY knowledgeable! He grilled the officer that charged me and exposed his not so consistent story, thus winning my case! Never will I go through this again, but if I had to, I would not hesitate to call Mr Starkman again for it.

When accused of a DUI charge I turned to Brian Starkman after consulting with a number of lawyers about my case. I was facing criminal charges for the first time in my life and did not have a good feeling about my case. I found Brian Starkman’s website and reviewed his videos, and immediately my feelings about my case started to change. Upon my first meeting with Brian, I found him to be knowledgeable and professional. His team and staff were no different. I chose him to represent me for my case. Fast forward and my case did not even go to trial. No criminal charges were pressed, and I owe it all to Brian and his team. I cannot thank Brian and his team enough for outstanding work. I highly recommend that others make the same great decision I did.

I would like to state my fulsome praise and gratitude to Brian Starkman for successfully representing me in a recent traffic matter. His meticulous and thorough cross examination of the police officers was masterful and he was able to illicit inconsistent and conflicting testimony from them. He skillfully paved the way for a successful resolution of the traffic matter that was under consideration. Brian listened carefully to my representations and he kept me fully informed of the procedures as they would unfold in the courtroom. Needless to say, I am ecstatic about the resolution of my case, due to the amazing efforts put forth by Brian Starkman; his courtroom manner is confident and his words are persuasive. Like Anne Sullivan, Hellen Keller's teacher, Brian Starkman is a miracle worker. The panic and fear that enveloped me for the last year have now been replaced by feelings of resounding relief and exhilaration. Deo gratias and an A+ review for lawyer, Brian Starkman.

I am overjoyed by the work Brian Starkman did for me. I cannot believe how perfect the outcome was - I have been absolute terrified for the last year and a half and was prepared for the absolute worst. Brian on and off the stand was completely confident and I could not ask for a better lawyer to help me through this. Thank you so much for all the work you and your team have done. When I researched DUI lawyers - Brian Starkman's name came up repeatedly and I absolutely see why.

I was charged with Over 80. I hired Mr. Starkman. He worked very hard to prepare for my case. When Mr. Starkman cross-examined the police officer, he had the officer spinning every which way. When Mr. Starkman was done with the officer, the crown attorney knew she had serious problems with her case. She offered us a resolution that allowed me to plead guilty to a traffic offense whereupon the Over 80 charge was dismissed. I avoided a criminal record and a license suspension. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Starkman to anyone charged with a criminal offense.

he just doesnt care about anything but money , he charged me around 13,000 without telling me about my rights and my option's , i would not go for trial if i knew that as a first offender will get the less charges if pleas guilty in first 90 days , he didnt even talked about my personal life and didnt let me talk to my judge as im sure it would have some positive impact in my case , he waisted my life for 8 months and lost my case and just said good bye, if i didnt have lawyer i would get less , dont trust to his words and his rates that he claims.

I was charged with impaired driving and Over 80. My career hung in the balance. I hired Brian Starkman. He made no promises other than he'd do his best. He came to court ready for battle. He effectively questioned the police witnesses. His arguments to the judge were articulate, logical and compelling. Quite simply, the prosecutor was over-matched. The judge dismissed both charges. My career was saved. I could not have hired a better lawyer.

I was charged with impaired care and control and refusing the breathalyzer, I was looking at 30 days in jail as well as a 3 year driving suspension. I needed to hire the best lawyer i could find, which is why i hired Brian Starkman. Brian was upfront and honest from the beginning and knew how serious this was. He got to work on my case, didn't make any promises on an outcome, but assured me that he would do his very best for me at trial. Brian was very impressive to watch in the courtroom. He and his team put together a large book of case files to help with my defense, his final arguments were laid out flawlessly and I was found not guilty on my charges due to all the hard work Brian and his professional staff put into defending my case. I would recommend Brian to anyone who finds themselves facing a DUI charge, I believe he is the best at what he does, he saved my future and was worth every penny. Thank you again Brian, Karen and staff!

I was unfortunately charged with an over 80 recently. I realized that the impact of this on my life and that of my family would be horrendous. I met with mr. starkman who advised me of the potential outcome with respect to the charges. I chose to retain mr. starkman to represent me, and am truly grateful that I did. he advised and included me in the decision making process. I was able to maintain my license and my dignity. Those in need of a top notch professional lawyer need look no further than mr.brian starkman. Sincerely B.B.

If you, your family or your friends are ever in the need of an amazing lawyer, I highly recommend BRIAN STARKMAN, he has many years of knowledge and experience and has managed not hundreds but thousands of cases. In October of 2015 I was charged with failure to take a breath test, living in Niagara and working in Toronto and commuting every day I needed my licence, its my livelihood, I would have been screwed without it..so I needed help and I needed it bad ! After searching around for lawyers for a few days , a friend gave me MR,STARKMANs number .. and thank god he did ! Brian immediately made me an appointment at which he explained to me where I stood and if I had a case worth fighting. Brian was honest with me and told me the matter was serious and the outcome could be harsh, but he could help me! I agreed and thank god I did ,MR.STARMAN was able to get me acquitted and all files of the case erased ! Thank you very much to BRAIN STARKMAN and his staff of professionals !

I've been charged with impaired driving with BAC over 300. After carefully reviewing my case, Brian promised a likely successful outcome and quoted a firm price. Around a year later, he defended me by presenting 3 lines of defense, bolstered by a 20cm thick book of case files, talking for 3 straight hours. Even though we got a tough judge, the argument was laid out so flawlessly that he had no choice but to dismiss the charges. Thank you, Brian, for a clean criminal record and a chance for a fresh start!

Brian Starkman is a lifesaver and worth every penny, I had made a mistake and was charged with impaired and over 80. As a young person and a student he helped me to not have to pay for it for the rest of my life. Despite the evidence against me, Brian in the end found that my rights had been infringed on due to lack of, or insufficient evidence to be detained in the first place and had my breathe samples thrown out from being included as evidence. He was amazing in the courtroom and really knows his stuff. I am so thankful that he was able to help me out, in the end the judge told me to make better choices and I have been. Very grateful. – Philip Y.

I am absolutely elated with Brians performance. I was referred to him by a friend of mine who hired him and had their charges withdrawn. He was very easy to work with, communicate, and made me feel very confident in his work. i was charged with dangerous driving, flight from police, and failure to remain. My charges were withdrawn! He is an amazing lawyer and know why he is one of the top rated lawyers in Ontario. I will be referring him to anyone that needs legal representaion in the future.

I can say that I am more then pleased with they outcome. Pulled over for over 80 and speeding over 150kms/hr. The court in Newmarket was very tough as this happened around the same time that the Russo case was going on. It seemed like it was going to be ZERO tolerance while listening to the outcomes of other cases. I was only charged with Careless after Brian and his team represented me. I thought for sure I was going to get a much worse sentence. Thank you Brian and staff. I can still go to work everyday :)... I recommend Brian Starkman to anyone who gets pulled charged with over 80. He knows his stuff.

I had a friend recommend Brian Starkman to me after I had been charged with over 80. No promises were made but Brian seemed confident in my case. From the offense date to the trial date was over 11 months and Brian gave several updates and was easy to get in contact with for any questions I had through the whole process. Leading up to the court date he explained our defense in detail and prepared me for cross examination by the prosecutor. At the trial he fought relentlessly for every argument I had in my favor and the charges were ultimately withdrawn. I do not have a criminal record and I got to keep my license thanks to Brian. I am very glad I had a lawyer that was as knowledgeable and attentive to detail as Brian and I would definitely recommend him to a friend in a similar situation.

I am very happy to say my charge for refusal to blow was dismissed by the crown, that was following negotiation done by the talented Mr Brain Starkman. I never knew what it's like to be in my situation. Fortunately, Mr Brian was always there when I needed advice or consultation and was certainly reassuring till the trial day. He is extremely well informed, and his expertise is just incredible Gratefully, he managed to save my life and career inside the courtroom. Never would've done without him. I would definitely recommend hiring Mr Starkamn if any of my friends ever made such a mistake. - M. E.

BRIAN IS MY HERO! As a successful professional,charged back in Nov 2014 with impaired & over 80.I lost my job & decided i had no other choice than to fight the charges. I needed the best representation in court & Brian was able to deliver. Brain was very knowledgeable & handled my case professional, working to cover every angle throughout. The crown prosecutor was well experienced & the crowns case was almost flawless BUT Brian discovered the smallest flaws & did not stop at the word of the police officers; he vigorously cross examined the police. He pressed on until all records and videos of my arrest were presented & the Judge saw, what was reported & the actual events were not the same. Doubts were raised on the Police officers credibility. The way Brian cross-examined the police and the intelligent and clever closing arguments proved Brian's experience and passion about law. It went down to the wire. At the Judgment I was found "NOT GUILTY" on both charges. THANK YOU BRIAN & TEAM

Paid over 10k and man still wants money...I said we had a deal and when I said I won't give you a dime more...man said to plead guilty while he took my money and went on a trip instead of working hard on my case. Don't hire him if you don't have money you will be screwed. Dishonest

I was charged with over 80 and impaired.I was facing a very serious situation,being a father a businessman and a husband I was one of those guys who believed he was okay to drive, I wasn't.Going thru this it was like getting smacked in face with a two by four, I needed someone to fight for me and found Brian Starkman.I felt hopeless, ashamed,and lost. My reputation, my business and my very freedom was on the line I was looking at the very real possibility of losing everything I'd worked my whole life to achieve.After meeting with Brian I felt hope and immediately calmed down.He explained my options made sure I understood them and after agreeing to take my case promised he would fight tooth and nail for me. He didn't disappoint. He was meticulous professional and paid attention to every detail no matter how small.I felt my future was in good hands.During Trial the charges were dismissed no convictions,no criminal record my life intact.I thank you, my family thanks you!

After being charged with impaired driving and over 80 in late 2015 I began looking for a lawyer. I had contacted a couple attorneys before meeting Mr. Starkman. Mr. Starkman was honest about the possible outcomes and did not make impossible promise's. With reading of 2.5 times the legal limit, He did a great job in the court room while cross examining the police to the point they never got to the evidence against me before its was dropped to a careless driving charge. I would recommend Mr. starkman to everyone i know that has a tough case against them.

I was charged with impaired driving and over 80. There was a serious accident involved. I thought I had no chance to win. Brian didn't make any promises but said he would do his best. He fought very hard for me in court. He won the case. Both charges were dismissed. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is charged with a criminal offence.

I was charged with driving over .80 after getting into a single vehicle accident back in November 2014. I was terrified and had no idea what to do. I researched many lawyers, based on the comments and ratings on Mr. Starkman I got in touch. Brian's knowledge and guidance kept me calm. I knew the road would be long; but I also knew that I had made the right choice. Brian laid out my options and gave me firm, clear and honest advice in a time when I was in severe danger of loosing everything. He managed to talk my charge down to careless driving and a small fine. I didn't loose my license nor will I have a criminal record. I can't thank him enough for all that he's done for me. If you make a bad choice, call Brian Starkman. He will be honest and forthright and most of all he will help you.

BRIAN IS A LIFE SAVER!! Back in June last year I received a over 80 charge. I had dissapointed my wife and kids and felt like my life was over. I lost my job immediately and decieded i had no other choice then to fight the charge. I had heard about people going to a lawyer and wasteing 3000 to hear a lawyer say "I'm sorry there is nothing I can do" Brian was honest from the beginning he stated I could win or I could lose but he would fight hard for me, AND HE DID!! His knowledge of the law is amazing as he talked circles around the other lawyer. He fought the charges long and hard and his file was stacked with evidence to support my case. Eventually the judge asked that a written submission be made as we would be in court forever with all the evidence presented. He wrote a written submission and my prayers were answered I received a not guilty and all charges were dismissed. I cant thank Brian enough for his dedication and efforts! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! GO WITH THE BEST!

In late May I was charged with a driving offence. With this being my first charge I was clueless as to what to expect and where to turn. Luckily, Brian Starkman was there to help. He was very reassuring and knowledgeable as to what was going to happen and put my nerves at ease. He kept to his word and resolved the case before it needed to be taken to trial. My license was saved, no demerit points, and best of all no criminal charges. Everything was done in a timely manner with superior work quality. I highly recommend Mr. Starkman - Marco

I researched lawyers on the web for a while before I chose Mr Brian Starkman. I was in an accident and charged with impaired driving and over 80. Upon meeting Mr. Starkman he was upfront, honest and didn't give me the runaround. The amount of payment was a little high but definitely well worth it! In court he means business, he is confident and doesnt miss a beat. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to WIN their case. ALL CHARGES WERE DROPPED! CASE DISMISSED!. Thank you Mr Starkman from myself and family.....Jovan B.

I received a conviction for refusing a breathalyzer as well as a drug charge. I work and live abroad, and therefore, having a criminal record would have been detrimental to my career and future. I had a particularly tough case, but Brian remained positive and tenacious throughout the whole thing. He discovered the smallest flaws in the Crown's case and went with it until the Crown could recognize the frailties and decided to settle on a resolution. Both criminal charges were dismissed. Brian seriously saved my life and was brilliant in the courtroom. He helped me through the entire process until the very end. He is WELL worth the money and cares about his clients and gives them his best. HIGHLY recommended- I cannot stress this enough. He was a lifesaver when I thought all hope was gone. HIRE HIM FOR ANY DUI CONVICTION!

I was a 23 year old university student charged with over 80. I was on a date, caught speeding with my headlights off in a rental car I was close to the police station. I cooperated with police and blew just over the limit. Being charged with an over 80 offense and having my license suspended affected my ability to drive, work and see family. I was terrified that with a criminal record I wouldn't be able to travel to the U.S., obtain future employment and that I wouldn't be able to afford to drive for years. Brian was recommended to me by a law office downtown Guelph. After meeting him and seeing his professionalism and experience with DUI cases, his knowledge seemed to be extensive, it was clear that he was my best option. My trial happened in front of a highschool class on a field trip and the crown's case was almost flawless. Fortunately Brian recognized the police's failure to issue a breath demand at roadside and I was found not guilty. Amazing. Thanks so much Brian! - Jeff

I am stupid for believing all the stuff praising this clown. I should have realized that he wrote his own ratings. I was charged with DUI and after taking thousands of dollars, he lost my trial without even knowing what the case was about.

Brian is an excellent attorney. I was charged with over 80 and Brian was honest and upfront with me the whole way through the experience. Honestly if you need a criminal defense attorney for anything Brian is your guy. He walks into the courtroom prepared and is able to react to any new information instantaneously, leaving the crown stumbling after themselves. Brian's communication leading up to the trial had me worried, as this was my first experience with any court proceedings at all, but those fears were alleviated quickly once I saw him work in the courtroom. And in all honesty he wasn't there to hold my hand he was there to win my case, which he did. My case was dismissed. Brian is the only criminal attorney I would contact if I ever needed help again in the future and I HIGHLY recommend him.

I was referred to Brian Starkman by the owner of a large trucking company who informed that Brian has successfully defended 3 truck drivers. Brian Starkman is an outstanding lawyer. The charges against me for operating a vessel (boat) while impaired where thrown out on not one but two different points. The amount of research and work he put into my case was astounding. To me it seemed the Judge was even impressed with his presentation. I thought I knew the best approach for my defense but Brian really knows his business and the crown didn't have a chance against him. I thought his fees were high at first but when you consider the cost of a conviction and the ongoing expenses he is absolutely worth the investment. When the charges against me were dismissed it felt like he gave me my life back.I would suggest to anyone facing impaired driving charges to use Brian Starkman.

Brian Starkman is an excellent lawyer. He is very knowledgeable in the area of drinking and driving. He was able to successfully fight my case and resulted in my charges being dismissed. I am glad I accepted his suggestion to use a toxicologist which really strengthened my case. He was extremely professional and understanding throughout the case. I highly recommend Brian's services, especially for drinking and driving charges as he definitely knows what he is doing.

Brian was my life saver after being charged with DUI and over 80. He was supportive, honest and represented my interests well, resulting in a very positive outcome (reduced charges to Careless Driving under the Highway Traffic Act rather than a criminal conviction. I am glad to have found Brian when I really needed someone solid and knowledgeable to help me through this process. Thanks again to Brian.

Mr. Starkman is a really great guy that fought hard to have my impaired charge dropped. He did not stop at the word of the police offices, who was obviously not divulging the entire episode as it actually happened. He pressed on until all records and videos of my arrest were presented and the Judge saw that what was reported and the actual events were not the same. The charge was then dropped. I am VERY relieved at the conclusion and am convinced that it was due to the professionalism of Brian Starkman.
