Outstanding Attorney, Highly Recommended

Attorney Wiesner has represented me on an unusual and challenging zoning case, and done an exceptional job. He brings an extraordinary attention to detail, a dedication to understanding not just the case law but the broader context of the case, real collaboration with his client, and what I can can o...nly describe as tenacity. I would highly recommend him to potential clients!

Jeff Wiesner provided exceptional representation in a complex employment matter and won the case for me. Jeff is an exceptional advocate who paid close attention to me and the many details of my case. His ability to think through difficult problems, and find the winning arguments, would make him my ...choice in any legal matter.

Exceptional Representation

Attorney Jeffrey Wiesner represented our son in a criminal appeals case. Through the appeals process he was able to get an eighteen month mandatory sentence overturned. He exposed crucial evidence that prior attorneys failed to present at trial. His knowledge of case law was exceptional. His dedicati...on and attention to every detail of our son's case was outstanding. We would highly recommend Attorney Wiesner in any facet of law.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
