Marc P. Weingarten's Lawyer Endorsements
"If you have a legal personal injury matter that is sensitive, complex, time consuming and requires dedication of time, effort, and a wealth of legal knowledge, Marc is key to your case. You will be served well, no doubt."
"Great attorney. Highly regarded throughout the nation."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I have co counseled with Marc on two complex personal injury cases. He not only is a fine person but is a superb lawyer who is a delight to work with. You can count on him to get the job done. There is not a lazy bone in his body. Marc is also extremely personable. He has intimate knowledge of product liability cases and as a result has developed an international practice in asbestos litigation. He has excellent judgment in handling plaintiff personal injury cases."
