I hire Brian back 1.5 yrs ago, to take on my case because of his track record, expertise and experience. My case was very unique as was explained to me by Brian, and he went through all avenues and possible outcomes. He explained all thoroughly and professionally. He was absolutely amazing at trial time, coming into the courtroom completely on target, and not missing a beat of anything to defend me his client picking out what’s right from wrong!!! It was obvious his experience really shined, and got me a great outcome!! Never could I have imagined picking a better lawyer having my best interest at heart!!! I highly recommend!!!!!!

I cannot thank Brian Starkman and his team enough for their incredible help with my DUI charges. From the very beginning, I felt confident in their expertise and professionalism. They guided me through every step of the legal process, always keeping me informed and reassured.
Brian and his team were not only knowledgeable, but also genuinely cared about the outcome of my case. Their attention to detail and dedication paid off – my charges were dropped, and I couldn't be more relieved!
If you're facing legal challenges, especially DUI charges, I highly recommend Starkman Law. They will fight for you, and you'll have a team you can trust every step of the way.

Brian is, by far, your best option for settling a DUI case. He was incredibly knowledgeable and understanding with me and my case. He did everything in his power to help me, and kept me updated the entire way through. If you're looking for a fair lawyer that actually cares about you, give Mr. Starkman a call!

Brian Starkman and his team are second to none!! I was charged with OVER 80, I was referred to Brian by a friend of mine who is a police officer. He said Brian would be the right man for the job. Boy he was right. My career depends on driving and Brian came through for me. My OVER 80 was moved to a traffic violation with NO CONDITIONS .I can’t thank him enough, also a giant THANK YOU to KAREN. She was always there to help me with any questions I had every time !!! This was a very trying time for me and my family BRIAN STARKMAN and his team came through for us 100 percent. If you or someone you know are in a situation like I was call BRIAN STARKMAN.

I was 17 at the time and criminally charged with over 80. Brian was highly recommended as being the best which proved to be true. What others said was not possible, Brian and Robert made possible. Brian and his team were able to construct a solid defence that undermined the Crowns evidence. The day my trial was set a plea was offered and agreed upon. All charges were withdrawn in place of a minor HTA charge. Thanks to Brian and his team I am able to move forward with my life and no longer have the burden of what could have come from the charges. Thank you Brian, Robert and Karen for an excellent outcome. Highly recommended for anyone seeking professional representation for similar matters. Thank-you!

Brian handled my Operation while Impaired charge from April 2021 and just dealt with the matter today. Got it down to a Careless Plea, 90 day suspension, fine and NO probation - most of the DUI matters today that copped a careless plea got probation between 12-15 months. Him and his team were very helpful and the payment plan was stretched out these 2+ years and stress free. Highly recommend his services. Thanks again to the team at Starkman Law.

Highly recommend Brian. He was direct but professional. He was able to get my DUI/Impaired charge dropped to a Careless Driving. He made me feel at ease and that he would represent me to get the best outcome for my situation. Brian and his team are very knowledgeable and were there to help navigate my first ever offence. I would not hesitate to call Brian and Starkman law in the future should I ever need legal representation again.

If you are looking for the best representation, look no further. Brian Starkman, & his team go above and beyond for their clients from start to finish. Between 2021-2023 I was dealing with 2 separate DUI’s. I thought I had no chance of beating either of them. Brian has the ability to turn a horrible situation into a better one. That being said both charges have been dropped, & the storm has finally passed. Thank you to Mr.Starkman & the team for everything they’ve done for me!

Brian Starkman is very knowledge and no-nonsense when it comes to legal affairs. He worked well with me despite my lack of knowledge in the legal matters I was involved with. Brian helped me to negotiate what would end up being career-saving and I'm grateful for his tenacity where that was concerned. He is also very open, honest, and upfront with everything he does. Something that I appreciated throughout the whole process. Highly recommend.

Brian Starkman saved my life, my career, and my reputation, without question. This is the second time he has helped me beat a DUI. I was certain that I would be convicted for my second DUI charge but Brian was able to dissect the witness testimonies and had all charges withdrawn! Brian is straight up with you and doesn’t BS. Just listen to him and do what he says. He is worth every penny and you are getting what you pay for. Thank you Brian for giving me back my life!

This was not my first rodeo, i have had a previous running with the law and Brian Starkmann of Starkmann Law was able to beat the charge and got the judge to dismiss my case in that instance, again with my second DUI charge Brian and his team were able to put up a strong argument and negotiate with the prosecutors to reduce my charge to a careless driving which is only a traffic violation with no criminal record. I was more than happy with the resolve and i’m tremendously grateful to Brian and his entire team, especially and including Karen who is the legal assistant and runs the front office, she holds it all together literally! She was very helpful and instrumental in communication, documentation, appointments, directions, explanations and break down of legal technicalities. I highly recommend the Starkmann Team for your criminal defence needs.

I was recommended to Mr. Starkman after being charged with driving over 80. The professionalism that both he and his team showed were amazing. Through working with the crown he was able to lower my charge to careless driving. If you are in trouble with a driving charge I would HIGHLY recommend giving them a call.

Brian Starkman and his team have been great help to my over80 case. I was able to have a better deal then I would've with any other firm thanks to his great knowledge, contact within the court and the know how of his team. Karen (assitant) was always there the answer any questions and help with any issues regarding court dates, billing, sending and receiving any important information and on. I would recommend he's firm to any person looking to have lawyer service that would be quick, impeccable and trust worthy.

Brian Starkman and his helpful team were absolutely the one bright spot during a dark time. Although he has a very calm and quiet demeanour, don’t let that fool you. He is very calculated and explains every situation and the outcomes that my happen. Having to go through the legal process without Mr. Starkmans guidance would have been near impossible and almost certainly would have resulted in a worse outcome. Not only did Mr. Starkman defend the charges against me, he won! No DUI, no criminal charge, no fines. If you’re looking for the best defence against any DUI related charges, Mr. Starkman and his team of professionals are the way to go.

I was charged with Impaired driving and over80. With everything at stake, I met a lot of lawyers and decided to go with Brian Starkman. Brian and Karen were prompt in responding to calls and emails and keeping me upto date with the lastest. My case was also rescheduled due to covid. On the day of the trial, I could see Brian's rapport and experience come into play and he was able to secure a great deal as my charges were dropped and I could plead guilty to careless driving. I am grateful to have went with somebody who is sincere, compassionate and knowledgeable.

Brian Starkman is a true professional. He explained the whole court process, the particulars of my case and the probabilities of the outcome. Everything he said came to fruition. I am very pleased that I chose Mr. Starkman. He got my DUI charges overturned so that I was not charged with an offence. He even let me pay in instalments in these crazy financial times. I would recommend Brian Starkman to anyone that has any legal woes. Thank you Mr Starkman.

I could not be more grateful to Brian Starkman and his team. They were able to make a horrible situation not quite so horrible. I was charged with Over 80. This was the most stressful time of my life. Mr. Starkman took the time to go over my options with me in a very clear and personable way. His team communicated with me every step of the way and my case ultimately ended up getting dismissed. I would recommend Mr. Starkman to anyone who needs a reliable lawyer for this type of situation.

He knows clearly how everything will proceed given the situation, what are the options available and what will be logical realistic approach to handle the case. He, as well as his office staff were prompt with all communication, scheduling and briefing whenever needed. I was very hopeful when I chose him to represent me, & I am glad I did.

I was charged with Impaired and over 80 and I chose to hire Brian Starkman to represent me and am I ever glad that I did! Mr. Starkman clearly explained my situation to me and characterized my case as a “tough” one. At trial there were 2 witnesses and a police officer who gave testimony and through his purposeful cross examination Mr. Starkman was able to establish reasonable doubt as to their recollections of events and as to their identification of the driver of the vehicle. He stated during his final submission how the prosecution had failed to connect the dots concerning identification back to me with respect to the witnesses’ statements and testimony so powerfully that he had the judge nodding along and interjecting her agreement. The end result was acquittal on all charges. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Starkman to anyone facing impaired driving charges.

I was charged with Driving under the Influence and Impaired Driving. Brian Starkman was recommended to me by a family member, and he was the right choice so. Mr. Starkman and his associates were able to reduce my charges, and I did not receive a criminal record. They were very professional; and after my first meeting with Mr. Starkman, he stated to me that he would do everything to defend and fight for me, and he kept his word. I was very satisfied not only with their professionalism, but with their compassion and willingness to help me. I would recommend to anyone that is facing a serious charge such as anything related to Drinking and Driving to contact Brian Starkman.

It was a clear decision to choose Brian Starkman's office after being charged with impaired over 80. I was acquitted of both charges when Mr. Starkman made it clear to the judge that the arresting officer's grounds for arrest and testimony were not reliable. His expertise is obvious and his level of experience is undeniable at trial! It was an unfamiliar and scary process for me, but I immediately trusted Mr. Starkman, his agents and admin. It was definitely worth the investment for a fair and just outcome.

Brian is by far the first recommendation I would give to anyone fighting a dui charge. I was charged with dangerous driving, dui, and fail to blow. Brian got all 3 charges dismissed. Anyone fighting a dui should definitely give Brian a call, his secretary and associates are always very helpful and I wouldn’t recommend another law firm. Brian 20+ years of experience definitely shows in the court room. 5 star rating all the way!!!

He was able to persuade the judge to make a finding of not guilty to the impaired charge as well. I would strongly recommend Mr Starkman to anyone who was in my position.

Having been charged with my 2nd impaired offence under the care and control act. I faced a minimum of 3 yr license suspension and 30 days in jail and the subsequent reality of loosing my job due to the impending conviction. As such it was strongly recommended that I hire Brian as council by several industry professionals including another attorney who chose not to take my case. Taking these recommendations was the best decision I could have made. From the first consultation Brian was extremely professional, honest and forthcoming about the reality of my situation, he laid out a clear and concise plan. Brian’s execution of this plan was flawless, his ability to control the proceedings with his in depth knowledge of impaired and traffic law was nothing short of spectacular. By the end of lunch on day one of the trial the crown was prepared to drop all criminal charges and jail time and we agreed to a most beneficial settlement. I highly recommend Brian’s services to anyone in need.

Having never had to deal with a charge like over 80 I knew I needed professional advice. There is plenty of unsolicited advice but I wanted the real thing. I found Brian Starkman, met him with no obligation on my part and was immediately impressed by his grasp of this world in which I had no experience. As it turned out my charge was reduced to Careless Driving and while it wasn't fun it was the hoped for result. I would highly recommend that anyone with and over 80 or impaired charge looming contact these people. Brian and staff are terrific.

When the day came for the trial on April 8th, Brian cross examined the prosecutor in a very professional manner. Resulting in dismissal of all the charges. I am eternally grateful to Brian. If you are looking for a dedicated and determined lawyer, i highly recommend Brian. Thank you Brian for everything you have done.

As a first time offender (having a clean record), I felt lost. I had been charged with both Impaired Driving and Over 80. After reading reviews and making a few phone calls, I decided to contact Brian. He has over 20 years of experience and that was evident when it came to the time of my trial. He cross-examined the prosecutors with ease, resulting in the dismissal of the Impaired Driving charge. Unfortunately, the judge needed another two weeks to review the the Over 80 charge, so I had to make another appearance in court. Brian had done an amazing job in proving that the Crown did not provide sufficient evidence that the breath technician had first-hand knowledge of the percentage of solution that goes into making the Intoxilyzer function. This resulted in the dismissal of the Over 80! NOT GUILTY!!! Thank-you Brian for everything you have done! If you've been charged with this, please call Brian :)

Brian Starkman, in my opinion, is the best lawyer to obtain for a drinking and driving charge. I was facing an impaired driving and over eighty, I was terrified. I am in my early 20’s and having a charge like this would have put some serious limitations on my future success. Brian was very honest with me from the very beginning, he explained all possible outcomes. His team gave me regular updates and were easy to get a hold of, always available to answer any questions I had concerning my case. I was amazed at how dedicated and determined he was, I could tell that he had put the time and effort in required for us to win. I am pleased to say that with the help of Brian, I won my case. All my charges have been dismissed, the best possible outcome. I am eternally grateful. I would recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation.

Brian Starkman is a literal miracle worker! I was initially charged with both an impaired driving and over 80, however with Brian’s undoubtedly extensive knowledge regarding DUI law he was able to get my charge reduced to a careless driving. If it were not for Brian Starkman and his associates incredibly sharp understanding of common law practices I would of been found guilty of both charges. Brian was able to find a fatal flaw in the case that the Crown attorney presented, which ultimately lead to the Crown accepting a joint plea deal for a drastically reduced charge. Brian Starkman was very highly recommend to me by a crown attorney who had previously worked in the district where I was charged, Mr. Starkman and his associates worked tirelessly to ensure that the outcome of this trial went in my favor. Brian comes very highly recommend, best investment I’ve made in my future so far! Not only did Brian genuinely care about what happened to me, him and his team are incredible lawyers.

Attorney Brian starkman and his staff have left a life-long great impression on me for the constant level of professionalism they exuberated during the entire time of my life-changing ordeal and for the great outcome of my case that came about because of the dedicated, hard work Attorney Brian put in. From the start, he was very upfront and honest with me about the chances of getting a plea deal from the facts I told him about my case. However, during this ordeal which strectched for almost one year , him and his staff kept me completely informed about court proceedings and dates, possible plea deals being discussed, and showed great understanding about what I was going though dealing with this situation. After months of hard work by him and his staff I got a year probation and $ 1000 fine. Wow!! Great work Attny Brian and Staff. You Come Fully Recommended.
