Timothy M. Barrouk Esq.

Timothy M. Barrouk, Esq. I have developed an excellent reputation in Central Pennsylvania for successfully representing clients in litigation areas including criminal law and DUI. With over a decade of criminal law experience, I am a strong trial court advocate who is not afraid to fight for my clients. I have tried well in excess of five dozen cases through to verdict, and have set many more for trial - only to have the opposing counsel settle with a favorable pre-trial resolution. I have also successfully argued multiple cases before the Pennsylvania Appellate Courts, including Com. v. Gause, a case that substantially limited the admissibility of police officers observations of impairment in atrial for Driving Under the Influence of a Controlled Substance. In addition, I have successfully fought to reinstate the driving privileges of individuals who refused to submit to chemical testing. At home in the courtroom, I have earned a statewide reputation as one of the state's top cross-examiners of cooperating witnesses (snitches), complaining witnesses (alleged victims), and police officers (especially the State’s forensic DUI experts). I have been named a 2010 Rising Star and a Super Lawyer every year from 2013 until the present, by Super Lawyers, a prestigious nationwide legal association. I frequently give presentations to other attorneys at continuing legal education seminars on DUI. These lectures have included topics such as standardized field sobriety testing, defending against a drug recognition expert, defending DUI controlled substance cases, chemical testing, and general DUI defense strategies. I also frequently lecture in the area of self-defense law. In addition to lecturing, I have stayed on the cutting edge by participating in classes and interactive seminars conducted by nationally renowned experts in criminal law, DUI law, forensic science, and trial advocacy.
