Most professional and effective

I am from out of state and Barry came highly recommended by other attorneys in the northeast. Barry helped me with a reckless driving charge. He was most ethical, efficient and effective. He even called me from his cell phone while on vacation. He got the case dismissed and I would love to use his ex...pertise for other general legal work as needed.

Superb Criminal Defense Attorney

Mr. Zweig successfully handled a recent 2nd degree murder case for our family. He is an astute lawyer who has a professional and keen knowledge of criminal law. His smooth aggressive style inside and outside the courtroom coupled with him truly getting to know and communicate with his client result... in respect and a winning combination. To ensure that he was knowledgeable about every detail associated with this complex and perplexing murder case, he spent countless hours gathering information, reading numerous reports from various witnesses, and spent an exorbitant amount time with his client and with our family - keeping us updated on all of the possibilities. His thorough preparedness eliminated surprises from the prosecutor and resulted in a favorable sentencing for my granddaughter. I was very pleased with the outcome; with his presentation and with the way he conducted himself throughout the whole process. From the very beginning, it was easy communicating with him. I found him to be very open and honest. I would definitely recommend his services.

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Zweig provided exceptional criminal defense services while representing my family in a high profile case. I consulted with him several times and found him to be respectful, extremely intelligent, aggressive but fair, and a true fighter for his client. His knowledge of the law, subject matter ex...pertise, and compassion handling this case was amazing. My family was very fortunate he was the attorney handling the case. I, as well as my family members, respect this attorney and would highly recommend him. He is the kind of attorney, if you ever needed one in his profession, you would hope he would take your case.

  • 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.
