Don't fund his retirement!

My divorce was complicated and thought I found the best Attorney to represent me. After a year and going against my other attorneys advise this man did not have me, his client’s best interest in mind. He talked a very good game but when it come time to deliver and over $20k later he said he could n...o longer represent me. I wished I would have taken this man serious when he stated I was his "retirement fund". I found another attorney who took my case and was able to successfully finalize my divorce for only $5k and saved me $77k from Mr. Weissman’s suggested offer. Please do yourself a favor and look elsewhere unless you would like to fund Mr. Weissman’s retirement fund.

Recommendation

I would (and have already), recommend(ed) Attorney Weissman. I have had to retain him on two separate occasions and he went to bat for me! He is, in fact, an Attorney that cares.

Highly Recommended

Mr. Weissman has helped me with two cases and I have always found him to be very professional, honest, compassionate and knowledgable. I have recommended him on a number of occasions and wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

Wonderful lawyer is Don Weissman

Don Weissman did a wonderful job for me, Dan Naas Divorce is never ever easy, trouble-free or simple regardless of the circumstances. Finding and selecting the best attorney is always difficult. You will need a lawyer who knows the law inside and out, a person who know the court system, understands ...people and is more interested in your needs and wants rather than their billings. Don Weissman did a wonderful job for me. Did everything go my way? No! But his straightforward approach and covering all the details gave me the confidence and knowledge that I hired an outstanding attorney.

Happily Divorced

When I began my search for a divorce lawyer, I knew that I needed an attorney that was very astute in divorce proceedings and an attorney that could be assertive when necessary to handle my complex case. From my initial meeting with Don until the final divorce decree was approved, he was on top of ev...ery twist and turn and had my best interest throughout the process. I would highly recommend Don to anyone looking for a divorce attorney.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
