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.

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.

BEN AND HOWARD ARE THE BEST LAWYERS EVER!!! I WAS FACING 10-40 YEARS IN FEDERAL PRISON FOR DRUG TRAFFICKING. MY CHARGES GOT REDUCED, AND I RECEIVED PROBATION WITH NO JAIL TIME! MY CASE WENT ON FOR 4 1/2 YEARS AND BEN FOUGHT FOR ME EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. HE TRUELY IS A LIFESAVOR!!! I CANT BEGIN TO TH...ANK HIM AND HOWARD ENOUGH!!!

Attorneys Howard Jarrett Weintraub and Benjamin Black Alper saved my life. In 2012, I had made a terribly stupid decision with another person to distribute kilograms of cocaine. Before this extremely foolish decision I had never been in trouble. In fact, the only violation I had ever done was runn...ing a stop sign. At the time I decided to distribute cocaine I was employed by the United States Postal Service as a mailman. The way the cocaine was to be transported to Georgia was to have my drug trafficking partner ship the cocaine from California in packages addressed to fictiously named persons at genuine home addresses on my mail route. The plan was that I would see the packages in my mail delivery bin and I would retrieve the packages before I left the post office building for my daily delivery of the mail and I would at the end of my work shift hand deliver the packages to the other person in Georgia. In 2012 I was arrested by federal law enforcement officials. Somehow my grandmother through her prayers to God, guided me to Attorney Howard Jarrett Weintraub and Attorney Benjamin Black Alper. When I first met with Attorneys Weintraub and Alper, part of our discussion included my attorneys advising me that under the United States Sentencing Guidelines and the criminal federal drug statutes I was looking at a mandatory minimum sentence of 60 months and a possible maximum sentence of 97 months. Under the brilliant and vigorously fought representation by Attorney Weintraub and Attorney Alper, where my attorneys won all three of their critically important objections to the Presentence Investigation Report, I was sentenced to just 12 months and 1 day in prison! This meant that I would serve no more than 10 months and 7 days of incarceration! If anyone had told me when I got arrested that instead of a maximum of 97 months Attorneys Weintraub and Alper would get me a sentence of only 10 months and 7 days I would think they were out of their mind. Now, I am telling anyone who needs a great criminal defense team that if you are charged with any federal or state criminal offense you must hire Attorney Howard Jarrett Weintraub and Attorney Benjamin Black Alper. They are miracle workers who really saved my life and I am confident they would do the same for anyone else facing a criminal prosecution. Thank you Howard and Ben! God bless the both of you!
