I highly recommend attorney, Marquis Jones, and the Weinberger Divorce & Family Law Group to represent you

Within the last year I have retained the services of Weinberger Divorce & Family Law Group on two occasions. The emotional, physical and financial strain of having to fight for your rights on issues of divorce and custody are immense. My lawyer, Marquis Jones provided me with excellent service as a p...erson first, then a client. He believed in me and he was thorough in his preparation to represent me before the court. His expertise and calm demeanor grounded me and settled my anxiety, fears and frustrations. He equipped me from all angles with what I may expect during my experience. He prepared for everything in expectation of having to deal with anything that came our way. I am prayerfully thankful and happy to say that both cases he fought for me were successful. Court battles are life changing. You have to be vulnerable enough to put part of your life in the hands of a trusted attorney who can fight for you in ways that you can’t on your own. I highly recommend Marquis Jones to be an attorney you can trust to fight for you.

Aggressive and compassionate

Marquis Jones represented me in a custody battle that i had with my mother. Mr. Jones was, and is amazing. He knew my rights and made sure to remind the judge and opposing counsel of them every step of the way. Also Mr. Jones was very aggressive and confidant while in the courtroom which made me feel... very comfortable. If i ever have any more family problems where i need representation this will be my guy. If you want a lawyer that will not be afraid to get up there, stand up and represent you than this is your lawyer. I believe Mr. Jones aggressiveness and knowledge put a hault on an un-needed trial, and made the opposing party think twice about getting on the stand and facing him. Also MR. Jones doesn't take any Sh*t. When dealing with the opposing lawyer Marquis was not afraid to hold back any punches. I know Mr. Jones is the biggest factor in me being awarded my Sole physical and legal custody, and he fought for me as if he was fighting for family. I love this guy he's the sh*t. He got me my baby back.

Extremely professional and caring

I have know Mr. Jones for over 30 years and can without the slightest hesitation recommend him to anyone. Aside from our personal acquaintance he has handled some very delicate legal matters for my family. Overall he was thoughtful, diligent, and very thorough.

Top Notch!!!

Couldn't have been more impressed in how knowledgeable Marquis was during Domestic Violence Restraining order case. He knows the law inside and out and saw right through the game the defendant was playing. It was impressive to watch.

For the children's voices to be heard !

Judge Jones would listen to both sides of a case as he did with mine, His mane concern was for the children .He wanted safe and caring homes for any/and avery child. I never seen a judge with such compassion for the truth. His whit helps break some of the heavy moods in the court. I highly recommend ...Judge Jones to handel your family matter !

  • 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.
