Best Lawyer I’ve Ever Hired

Had a case of more or less illegal hunting, had a probation retainer. Will was incredibly helpful, if it wasn’t for him I’m not sure what I would have done. He came and saw me at the jail, argued for me in court the entire way, and was able to not only get me back home, but also was extremely respons...ive the entire way. Any questions I had he answered, and was very quick to reply. Will is the kind of lawyer that will go out of his way for his clients, and give you the best possible outcome for your case. He’s also a very nice, professional, and very personable. I’ve never had an experience with any attorney like that before. Any case you have, this is the lawyer to call. I’ll never use another attorney again, he’s worth every penny, and I’ve never had a better experience with any other attorney I’ve had to hire. If you want your due process respected, and your rights to be enforced, Will is the way the to. Absolutely 5/5 stars.

I cannot thank Will Weiss enough for the outstanding representation and dedication he gave to my case. Having my criminal case dismissed was life-changing, and throughout the entire process, he stood beside me with professionalism, honesty, and genuine compassion. From day one, communication was ...exceptional. No matter how many questions, concerns, or fears I had, he always made himself available and made sure I understood every step of the process. He never made false promises or told me what I wanted to hear just to make me feel comfortable. Instead, he gave me honest guidance, explained every option available to me, and helped me make the best decisions for myself and my future. What meant the most to me was how attentive and dedicated he was. I never felt like “just another case.” He truly fought for me, listened to my needs, and handled everything with care, passion, and professionalism. During one of the most stressful and emotional times in my life, he gave me reassurance through his hard work, knowledge, and commitment. There are people who simply do a job, and then there are people like Will Weiss who genuinely care about the lives they are helping change. I am beyond grateful for his counsel, his patience, and the effort he put into my case. Because of him, I can move forward with peace, relief, and a second chance. Thank you again for your hard work, dedication, and passion for what you do. I will forever be grateful.

DWI Defense

I highly recommend Will as a criminal defense lawyer. Will shaped the strategy and professionally executed my NJ DWI defense. He was constantly available by phone or email and consistently delivered advice and answered my questions. Will is a an intelligent advocate and I cannot thank him enough.

Impressive results in both NJ and PA!

I decided it was time to clear up and address very old warrants from NJ. All “disorderly conducts” from between 2000 and 2008. So far I’m very impressed with Will. In just a few weeks we were able to have 6 or 7 warrants either dismissed or court dates scheduled. We are still waiting to hear back fr...om one court. Fingers crossed because that is the one we are most concerned with. Will is easy to talk to and very down-to-earth. I’m impressed with his honesty and not making promises he can’t deliver on and being straightforward. I appreciate him understanding the anxiety I’ve been living with for over 20 years and not being annoyed with me for texting him (sometimes I just get in my head). He has replied to my texts in a timely manner, especially considering how busy lawyers can get. I appreciate him not judging me for my past and treating me with the utmost respect. I wholeheartedly recommend this lawyer for any criminal charges in NJ as well as PA. I will NEVER be in trouble or in need of a lawyer after this, but God forbid I am, I would absolutely hire Mr Weiss again. I will also recommend him to anyone who needs a good lawyer!

Best lawyer in Philly !

Don’t know where to start . I wanna thank my savior Jesus Christ. Mr Will wise is an awesome person . Please don’t look no farther when hiring an attorney. He is full of confidence, compassion , empathy, straightforward. I was facing some serious charges of felony theft .I got accused of wrongful cha...rges . I am innocent of those charges . I was really worried about my family especially my son with special needs. What would my future be . Mr Will believed me . He went through step by step process what I have to go through the judicial system. He gave me a good payment plan option never rushed me when it came to the payment plan that I have to pay and then we will forward. He is a beast talking to the prosecutors . He told me straight forward I shouldn’t be even charged . They have to dismiss the case . If they don’t he is not worried . By Gods grace and Mr Will hard work and dedication to my case . The charges against me are dropped . CASE DISMISSED. Lastly I wanna say thank you to Mr Micheal SKA LAW Firm . The best in the Philly region . Everyone in the firm treats you like a family . They understand what you’re going through. I highly recommend this law firm . Please don’t hesitate or look no further. Thank you Mr Will for being there for me and fighting my case . God bless you ! ❤️1
