Not Just A Lawyer!

Being in legal trouble for the first time, I didn't know what to expect and my nerves were all over the place. From the day I met him, Benjamin provided me with a very clear overview of what to expect and our plan of action. He was very knowledgeable about the law pertaining to my situation and knew ...which steps were best to get through the process with limited damage. Because of his continued communication, my mind was put at ease to the best of its ability considering the circumstances. Benjamin wasn't just a professional attorney, but he was also sincere and caring. That meant a lot to me because I needed to know I wasn't just another check for my attorney. Even after my case was closed, he contacted me for follow-up and reassured me that I was free to contact him should I have any questions. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone needing legal assistance.

STOP calling other attorneys - Call Benjamin Alper

I knew I had called the right law firm from the moment that Mr. Howard Weintraub answered my phone call first thing Monday morning following my DUI arrest that previous Friday night. Mr. Weintraub scheduled to see me that same day and I met the lead attorney for my case, Benjamin Alper. That meeting ...confirmed my feelings from the conversation. They were smart, personable, and incredibly trustworthy. I retained them immediately. Benjamin Alper’s character continually reaffirmed my initial feelings throughout the entire process. I have no doubt that the law offices of Weintraub and Alper put each and every one of their clients on the exact same pedestal - the top. The nine months leading up to us fighting this in a jury trial, we had the common continuances, the decisions to have the case heard before a Judge, take a plea, or take it to jury trial. Each step was clearly defined, discussed, recommended, and decided in my best interest. Ben NEVER failed to return a call or answer an email. I cannot thank them enough for how they handled me, my case, or the trial. Ben was always truthful, positive, and reassuring. I never felt for one second that I had hired the wrong attorney. Ben’s preparation and trial skills were so top notch that thankfully we did win. Although, I would have felt this strongly about recommending them win or lose based on the people they are and how they handled my case throughout the entire process . If you are in need of legal representation - DO NOT HESITATE to call Howard Weintraub and Benjamin Alper. I highly highly highly recommend The Law Offices of Weintraub and Alper!

Former Client

I am a former client of Weintraub and Alper, and hiring them was one of the smartest things that I could have done. Facing the wrath of the Federal Government is something that no one should face by themselves. If you find yourself in this situation, I can say with 100% confidence, that Howard and ...Ben will be by your side every step of the way. I was part of a high profile case and Ben was my lead attorney. I cannot begin to say enough about the professionalism and tenacity that Ben should during my case. He fought for my rights and did not waiver when the Government was seeking a higher than normal prison sentence. Ben showed his brilliance in court and untimely convinced the judge that the Government was being unreasonable. I owe Ben and Howard so much and cannot begin to thank them enough. They are both fantastic at what they do, and I would have no hesitation recommending them to anyone.

Excellent Defense Attorney

Benjamin Alper is one of the best up and coming young attorneys in Atlanta area. He recently defended my daughter in several felony cases due to her drug addiction. He was able to coordinate all of the cases so that she received treatment and rehabilitation instead of time in prison. I would recom...mend Ben to anyone that needed an attorney in Atlanta. I was was very satisfied with his work ethic and his results.

Benjamin Alper saved my daughter from jail

Ben defended my young adult daughter on three separate felony and misdemeanor cases in Fulton County, Georgia Superior Court and State Court and in Gwinnett County, Georgia Superior Court. In each case, Ben reached an extremely successful result sparing my daughter from any jail time. Throughout my r...elationship with Ben, I have found him to be extremely knowledgeable, professional and very caring for my daughter and myself. He also worked with us regarding the fees that they charges us for the three separate cases as they reduced their fees to help us with our limited financial resources to fight these three legal battles. My daughter had substance abuse problems, which was the cause of her three criminal cases. She has been sober from alcohol and free from drugs now for almost a year and she is doing very well in college in Florida. I truly believe that the legal efforts and successful handling of my daughter's three cases by Benjamin Alper saved my daughter and enabled my daughter to turn her life around. For this, my daughter and I are forever eternally grateful to Ben. Ben Alper is a caring, wonderful, compassionate lawyer, and I highly recommend them to anyone needing to hire aggressive and honest criminal defense lawyers. God bless Ben for saving my daughter. If you get in trouble with the law, you had better call Ben, Benjamin Alper that is.

"I highly and enthusiastically recommend Benjamin B. Alper whether it is for representation in a DUI case or a multidimensional intricate federal criminal trial. I have the pleasure and privilege of having Ben work with me as my criminal defense associate. Ben is gifted with exceptional writing skills and the capability of analyzing complex criminal matters that is found only in seasoned practicing attorneys! He has my upmost respect for his trial skills and tireless preparation for all his cases. Recently, Ben undertook detailed research in a federal criminal case, and wrote extremely persuasive objections to the Presentence Report, culminating in our client escaping a sure life sentence. I categorically declare that Ben is one of Atlanta’s rising stars in the criminal defense arena. Observing hundreds of lawyers throughout my career, I can assure readers of this endorsement, of Ben’s integrity, professionalism and zealous advocacy for his clients."
