Benjamin Black Alper

I have had the privilege of working with Mr. Alper throughout the past two and a half years as my ongoing counsel with respect to a number of post-conviction and post-release matters under federal criminal law. Upon first meeting Mr. Alper, along with his partner, Mr. Weintraub, I was impressed with... his command of the relevant law, rapid understanding of complex circumstances, his assertive resolve to achieve necessary results, and his genuine regard for me as a person of value. My initial engagement with Ben successfully resolved a difficult post-release issue, wherein Ben demonstrated remarkable negotiation acumen and the sharpness of reasoning that I found lacking from other legal professionals. It is clear that Ben is driven by the honorable motivation to represent a client's best interests without hesitation. My initial experience with Ben convinced me that he was the logical choice to retain on an ongoing basis as my counsel to call upon when necessary. Ben's immediate responsiveness when contacted, no matter the day or time, engenders the type of confidence that is difficult to come by in criminal defense circles. Ben and his firm have demonstrated integrity without exception, whether it be concerning accessibility, thoroughness of work, billing, and ongoing guidance on post-conviction and post-release matters. I would recommend Ben, and his firm, without hesitation to address even the most intellectually challenging criminal defense matters at the Federal level.

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.

Lawyers traditionally have never been my favorite class of people. Fort the most part, I have found them to be arrogant, pompous, overconfident and sadly lacking in people skills. I never thought I would ever meet one that would change that perception, but Ben did, and only those people who really ...know me would really know what a great accomplishment that was. I was in a situation where I had to confront and deal with some truly horrible truths about people in general; I was facing things that would make most people run away screaming in terror. Ben did not turn away; he walked with me through things that, while unimaginable, were reality. He was truthful, honest, and caring and he did not judge which was very important to me. Ben's great value to me was not that he was a great lawyer, but a greater person and I now have something I never had before - a lawyer I can honestly say became my friend.

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!

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.
