Outstanding attorney

I engaged Ben in part based on outstanding reviews and a stellar reputation, both personal and firm. Ben coordinated my defense, which included gathering evidence, conducting interviews, discussions with county/state, filings, etc. All was done professionally and timely. Ben is measured, thoughtful, ... transparent, thorough.. My case was dismissed in part based on overwhelming evidence - when accused / charged, significant resources are stacked against you. Ben was instrumental in balancing the scales of justice. I highly recommend Ben, an exceptional attorney.

Fantastic lawyers

Boy, were we lucky to find out about Ben and Howard! They put our fears to rest, made us feel safe and comfortable right from the beginning and did a great job taking care of our son's legal issues. They are patient, professional, knowledgeable ,and experienced, and very easy to speak with, to under...stand.

Weintraub and Alper are the best

Our son got himself into trouble and my wife and I did not no where to turn. Fortunately, we were directed to Weintraub and Alper. We were treated like family from the start. Ben Alper worked hard to effect the best possible outcome and we are very happy with the outcome. I am happy to highly recomme...nd Ben and Harold to anyone in need of criminal defense. They are the best.

Fantastic lawyer

Words can't describe how thankful we are to work with the law office of Weintraub and Alper. We worked with Howard and Ben for over two years on a heavy case that would have faced minimum of 10 years in jail. The case was closed with a probation. Howard and Ben went beyond what was expected-they tr...eated us like family from day one until the end. We can't thank them enough for all the hard work they put in to help us to get where we are. We had the best possible outcome. I would highly recommend them.

Attorney Representation

Attorney Ben Alper was phenomenal during my legal situation. I was in a serious battle and he was so patient with all my questions and anxiety. I was facing some serious consequences and was frighten beyond words. I was able to reach him when I needed to talk or had a question. He always returned my ...calls timely. He was actually a calming force during my whole ordeal. I was prepared for all my hearings; but more importantly he was prepared. He explained what would happen and what to expect every step of the way. He never rushed me during our meetings and I really appreciated that. He was just a very good attorney and a genuine person. I have recommended him to several friends and will continue to do so.

"As a prosecutor, I worked a case with Ben as opposing counsel that was challenging for both of us. He handled the case intelligently, professionally, and was a great advocate for his client. It says a lot about Ben that Howard Weintraub, a renowned criminal defense attorney, promoted Ben from Associate to Partner. I endorse Ben Alper!"

Relationship: Co-worker

"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."
