My case was already tried and I was found guilty, even though I was innocent. Thanks to Howard, I was able to go for appeals and finally have the case dismissed and clear my name.
Howard’s a:
Very reliable and accessible lawyer, who always get back to you.
Very thorough and spent time to explain everything clearly to me.
Very supportive and compassionate, especially when I was down and almost lost hope.
If you are in trouble and you need help go to HOWARD, he will get results.

Mr. Weinstein was my lawyer for a criminal charge. He was very helpful and informative every step of the way. I was very happy with the result, and if I ever need another criminal lawyer I won't hesitate to go back to him.

I highly recommend Mr. Weinstein! I hired him based on a successful outcome from a friend who had the same case as mine. He had wonderful things to say so I took his word and hired him and I am delighted with his services. He has far exceeded my expectations in all areas. He is communicative, trustworthy and on top of everything pertaining to my case. Mr. Weinstein is extremely knowledgeable and has taken all of the intricate details of my case and created a clear cut explanation and defense. I am so pleased with his services and highly recommend him! He made a difficult situation in my life much easier and helped me through this tremendously.

I had numerous outstanding violations that kept me on the revoked list at NJMV. Howard addressed every matter in an orderly and professional manner and got my license reinstated in a amazingly short time. I was sure I would never be able to drive again but Howard proved me wrong and to my great appreciation. HE IS THE MAN! By the way, Howard did not write this.

Mr. Weinstein was up front and direct about the entire case he handled for me. Each step of the way he kept me up to date and made sure that he knew enough about me that he wasn't just representing a case but a client. I would definately reccommend him.

I got charged with a possession of an illegal gun, but it wasnt mine. The prosecutor insisted on making me take a state prison sentence in order to avoid really having the book thrown at me. Mr. Weinstein did a motion that was ingenious, and the result was that the gun evidence could not be used against me. Wow, it was like a miracle. Since they couldnt prove the other charges, I ended up getting everything dismissed.
In addition to all of that, this lawyer returns emails and phone calls ON THE SAME DAY! I was very impressed and would recommend him to anyone looking for a good criminal lawyer.

I was arrested this past spring and charged with misappropriation of funds from my former employer. I was ready to end it all before I met with Mr. Weinstein. He was so helpful to me I can never thank him enough. I was so afraid taht I would go to jail. Instead I avoided trial and got probation and a fine and restitution. The main thing to me was that he took my phone calls and answered my emails even though I was going crazy. I think he went above and beyond the call for me, and I will forever be greatful for his understanding nature.

It is so hard to decide on a lawyer when you were just arrested and have no personal experience with any lawyer before. I was so lucky to find Mr.Weinstein after searching online after I was stopped for speeding then charged with Illegal prescription drugs.
This man was perfect. He spent 1-1/2 hrs with me when we first met. He was so thorough going over everything about my case and how the system works. Mr. Weinstein combines knowledge, intellegence and compassion. I came to his office a complete wreck, and left feeling totally confident in his hands. His fee was totally reasonable (I would have paid him double what he charged.)
it was obvious when we were in court that he had the respect of the prosecutor and the judge. He handled them like a real pro, and found a way to get the charges that would have gotten my DL suspended DISMISSED! I plea bargained to a minor violation and got just a $50 fine. I couldn't believe it and was so happy I kissed him.
Mr. Weinstein is the best, and if you should have the need you should forget the sharks out there and go right to Howard. He was an absolute godsend for me.

I had a very unique case and Howard was right on top of it. This was my first and last DUI (I was sleeping in a parked car). Howard's reputation speaks for itself.

When the need arises for a criminal lawyer, Howard is the "go to" man. He is always there to take your personal calls or calls back as soon as possible. I have always found him pleasant and honest. We met Howard at a time when my son was facing some legal issues and we needed direction. Howard met with us immediately and put our minds at ease. His experience in criminal law is extensive and he was able to help my son solve his problems in the best possible way. When you meet Howard you feel comfortable and you realize that he really cares about your situation. He answers all of your questions thoroughly and knowledgeably. When he represents you in court, he gives a professional appearance and commands respect through his character and intelligence. I would recomment Howard to anyone who is seeking legal counsel. You will be more lthan satisfied with his ablility to represent you and advise you on your legal problems.

Prompt replies to all calls and emails. Explained every step of the process to me so there were no surprises. Considered my input and advised why it would or wouldn't work. Reasonable fees.

Found Howard online since we are small company in NYC and had to sue someone in NJ. As a small business we could not afford time to go to small claims and did not want to pay large lawyer fee. Howard came up with a smart plan, low and reasonable fee and believe it or not he won and we got paid our legal fees too. He is the smartest, most honest lawyer I have ever dealt with. He is a real Super-Hero in a suit.

Last year I made the biggest mistake of my life that wound me up in criminal court. If I got convicted, that would have been the end of my chosen career. A friend referred me to Howard Weinstein, and hiring him was the best decision of my life. He handled the whole mess so well, and in the end I was able to beat the charge and get my record expunged. I would not hesitate to recommend this lawyer. He is not cheap, but he was worth every penny - you get what you pay for!

My mother and father hired Mr. Weinstein to handle a very bad (and very embarrassing) situation during my senior year in high school. I was nervous, and my mother was manic, but Mr. Weinstein did an amazing job, not only with the court but with my mom. He knows how to answer her questions without freaking her out. I think we all just felt very comfortable with him. He definitely knows what he is doing and has a real good reputation around the courthouse.
