Roger Weinberg is not only a compassionate person, he is a highly competent and effective lawyer. We worked with Roger for two years in our case regarding our mother's unfortunate neglect at an assisted living facility. He helped all of us (five children living in various states) stay focused and informed during the course of the lawsuit which eventually led to a trial. Roger was resourceful during every phase of the lawsuit, especially at trial where he defended our case with aplomb. All of us are deeply grateful to Roger as he worked long and hard to represent us during a stressful period. Despite several setbacks, he continued to press forward reassuring our family with his gentle wit and humor. As a result, we won our case. Under his expert guidance, we were finally able to find closure.
MR. WEINBERG MADE A SITUATION THAT WAS EXTREMELY STRESSFUL SO MUCH LESS SO. HE HANDLED EVERYTHING FOR ME IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE EXPERIENCE WAS SO MUCH EASIER. I HAD JUST LOST MY SON AND WAS NOT IN THE BEST FRAME OF MIND TO HANDLE ANYTHING STRESSFUL. THIS WAS A CASE OF NEGLECT AND MR. WEINBERG KNEW EVERYTHING THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE. THE MEDIATOR HE HIRED WAS ALSO EXCELLENT. DON'T THINK I COULD OF MADE IT THROUGH THIS PROCESS WITHOUT HIM. YOU COULDN'T ASK FOR A BETTER ATTORNEY & STAFF.

Mr. Weinberg
I would highly recommend Mr. Weinberg. He always had my best interest and always included me before making decisions.
He kept me informed of how the case was going, what issues were on the table and what my options were. He would take time to answer any question I had.
While he was personable and made you feel at ease he never lost his professionialism. I find that I say to people "he's my lawyer"

Roger. My experience
Roger is an excellent attorney. Whenever I contacted him he called me back even on weekends. He took time to explain the legal process. On a personal note....he cared about me and my family during a very difficult time in my life. Theresa

Highly recommend Mr. Weinberg
I've had the pleasure of having Mr. Roger Weinberg handle two legal issues for me.
The first was my divorce in 2007-2008. Roger provided me with excellent representation and was very patient when my ex's lawyer requested 10 years of financial history, bills, etc. and I produced the 3 book-boxes of paperwork, plus all tax returns, in duplicate. He was amazingly helpful and very sensitive to keeping fees as low as possible, given the circumstances. He even handled the details to get my last joint tax return signed, to keep my tax bill as low as possible, too.
Due to that excellent experience, I reached out to Mr. Weinberg to assist with legal questions and subsequent litigation regarding the current disposition of my parent's house. He endeavored to bear in mind my financial situation as my brother and I dealt with the incorrect deed filed by our step-mother in settling our father's estate and issues with his poorly constructed Will. Mr. Weinberg showed great patience with my brother's quirky personality, explaining the precise meaning of various terms, required actions, Maryland legal rules, and options we had available, as well as the basis for his advice.
Mr. Weinberg was often as annoyed with the nonsensical positions taken by the opposing legal team as we were. My step-mom's legal team did NOT charge her for the litigation (they'd advised her on the incorrect deed) so we were up against much deeper pockets. Roger helped us keep costs down by allowing us a first pass at the analysis of each of their filings and responses, which saved us time and expense.
Mr. Weinberg educated us on some of the finer points of law, found relevant precedents and advised us well. He provided excellent counsel during mediation and advice when the other side breached the agreement before we even had the chance to get the deal inked.
We prevailed in the end. Thankfully, the final disposition came a few weeks before my brother passed away from cancer, allowing us to savor the successful resolution together. As my brother's health was failing, Mr. Weinberg provided helpful tips in selecting a nursing/rehab facility for my brother, located in northern NJ.
In my opinion, both cases were handled by Mr. Weinberg as well as anyone could have. I highly recommend hiring Mr. Weinberg.
