My Attorney is better than yours!

I cannot say ENOUGH great things about Attorney Antavius Weems! He is a BOSS in EVRY sense of the word. I hired Atty Weems when my company was experiencing some growing pains. I must admit that I had not done a great job in keeping things in order (which is why I had to retain Weems) but I thank G...od for sending Weems my way. The craziest thing is that I actually met him in line at a concert! We began talking after I eavesdropped on his phone call to a client....I remarked to him, 'You're the kind of Atty I need....answering calls in the middle of a concert' Atty Weems response was 'im your guy then'....and he was telling NO LIE. He came in, cleaned up the frivolous litigation that we had, and allowed us to move forward into our 8th location. His staff is top notch too! I CANNOT THANK HIM ENOUGH! And yes, just like everyone else says about him, he's a Super hero with a brief case, and he literally treats you like you are family. Attorneys just dont do that these days! Thanks Weems!!!

Tough, Thorough and Trustworthy

I am incredibly happy to write this review of MY Attorney, Antavius Weems. When I first learned of Atty Weems was through the tv show Braxton Family Values, where he represents Toni Braxton and her family. Once I got him to represent me, i knew i had made the right decision. In addition to shar...ing an Atty with Superstars like Toni Braxton, Trina Braxton, Angie Stone and Karlie Redd, I was mesmerized by Antavius' command and recall of the law. I was thinking wow, does he study this stuff in his sleep?? And just as EVERYONE here has stated, he IS a PIT BULL I n the Courtroom. He is not to be played with. In my case, not only did we win, but the other side ended up having to pay Antavius' Atty fees for me because of their actions. THANK YOU ANTAVIUS WEEMS. You are my Attorney fir life!

I LOVE to watch this Brotha' work his magic! He's simply the best in the business

Imagine walking into a Courtroom with a Dictionary, a thesaurus, a pit bull, a security guard, and of course, a legal scholar--I've just described my experience with Attorney Antavius Weems. I cannot say enough how protected and cared for I felt by he and his team. I had heard wonderful things abou...t Attorney Weems and his legal skills from a friend of mine who hired him, so I thought I would give him a try. Now I brag about him more than my friend. She had to remind me that he was her Lawyer first! I just felt incredibly protected during my entire case. He was concerned, informed and prepared. His entire staff makes you feel the same way he does (special kudos to his Office Mgr, Ms. Finch!) What I really liked was watching how he has such an amazing command of the law! I have never seen anyone rattle off legal cases and laws like I saw with Weems. My impression was that he either had memorized all of this stuff for my case, or he already knew it...Either way I was fine with it, and I benefited from his knowledge. The Judge gave us most of what we had asked for, and although I was incredibly happy, Attorney Weems was still a little upset that we didnt get everything that we had asked for! I am just elated to call this man my Lawyer. The Weems Firm is my team for legal issues. I love him and them!

A Legal Guru!!

Oh My God! I signed a pretty awful contract for a television series. While I wont tell you my name, I will tell you who my Lawyer is. Antavius Weems! And I am glad to be in this number! I was referred to Antavius from a friend in the Industry who knew that at this level in my career that my cont...ract should look a lot different. What I found funny is that as soon as I told the network who my Lawyer was, they immediately asked for his number and said that they would work it out. I like to think that it was because they value me, but I have seen what they've done to other members of the cast placed higher. After Antavius finished, I feel so very much better about my positioning......ill just say that! In fact, I will go even further to say that without him I know that this wouldnt have happenned. I thank God for him. In the Entertainment Industry its difficult to feel protected. Now I do. I have The Weems Firm on my side. Im up for the challenge. Thank you, Antavius and team. Seriously. Thank you guys.

I have one of the Nation's Best Attorneys!! Antavius Weems is the best! Thank you to him and his Gladiators!

I hired Attorney Weems to represent me against my husband who I learned was cheating on me during most of our marriage. To add insult to injury, after I confronted my Husband with the cheating, he practically told me to accept it or just leave, knowing that I had nothing since he was the bread winne...r. THAT WAS, until The Weems Firm and his Gladiators showed up! Attorney Weems's very first court appearance with me was absolutely incredible! He showed up with 2 additional Attorneys and his paralegals, all ready to do battle. You could have bought my husband and his sleazy Attorney for a nickel when they realized I had actually hired THE FAMOUS ANTAVIUS WEEMS as my Lawyer! He couldn't believe it! He kept asking me, "how did you afford the big time Attorney?" All I wanted him to do at that point was to show me the money. And after Attorney Weems and his team finished with him, that is JUST WHAT HE DID! I received Alimony in lump sum and monthly, along with some of the property that we had obtained during our marriage. I already had my son with me because of course my now EX-Husband didnt want a child dragging behind him in his new life as a Bachelor. So long dude! I am indebted to Attorney Antavius Weems for life. I write this as tears stream down my eyes. My case just recently ended and I COULD NOT help but to share my thoughts about this amazing God sent and God fearing Angel. HE WILL FIGHT FOR YOU, and is scared of NO ONE. As the other person stated, it truly is like having your big brother as your Attorney. He is mine for life now. THANK YOU, ANTAVIUS WEEMS . Thank you Gladiators!
