“I love the competitive aspect of being a criminal defense attorney. I was very active in sports growing up and thrived on that competition. Becoming a criminal defense attorney was a natural progression. No other area of law allows an attorney to have more contested hearings in the courtroom.

I have always been passionate about helping others. Especially those that are down and out. The opportunity to use my competitive spirit to help people that are often going through the most difficult time in their life is incredibly rewarding.”

Read

My go to reading involves articles on college sports (Penn State in particular), current events, and true crime (especially mafia related stories).

Listen

My go to station in the car is XM Channel 84, College Sports Radio. My favorite bands would be Led Zeppelin and Pearl Jam. I also enjoy 90s rap. If a song came out after 2010 I probably don’t know it!

I am usually watching some type of sporting event. My favorite shows are The Soprano’s, Entourage, and The West Wing.

Play

I am an avid golfer. I enjoy coaching youth football and cheer. I am a big Penn State fan.

“Have you ever made a mistake? Have you ever had life situations that you reacted to incorrectly and didn’t make the best choices afterwards? Unfortunately I have. Sometimes life doesn’t go your way and you make bad choices. This could be a career ending event. i was lucky enough to find Tim Barrouk. As a company executive, a dui could have been the end of my career. I’m embarrassed for the choices I made but the law doesn’t care about that. Tim Barrouk does. Tim fought for me to the highest degree. He never once judged me on the charges, but always looked at how he could best help me get through my mistakes. While it was a long and exhausting battle. Tim, was without a doubt the best attorney to fight for me. Thanks to Tim, I’m Still a senior level ranking executive at a major corporation. Without Tim working his magic and using his knowledge to clear my name, I wouldn’t be were I am. As a sole income earner and father of two, Tim’s results have truly saved my life. When I got arrested , I thought that was it. I’m done. My wife will divorce me. I’ll never get back to my level of work. It’s over. Tim kept me encouraged and I can’t thank him enough. Because his hard work has helped me be where I am today. A DUI isn’t the end of your life if you learn from it and have the right attorney. I make nearly 3x as much money as I did just 5 years ago. And for you Executives that want to put that into perspective. I was making 110k when I got my DUI . I make nearly 350k now. Mistakes can be forgiven IF you have the right representation. Tim Barrouk is the right representation. I’d HIGHLY recommend anyone contacting Tim for representation. Be honest and he will get you the best outcome. Thanks Tim!.”
