Work dont match his price

NOT WORTH 20K.I ws under a POM-ACT probation sentence when i caught a drug charge and My P. O wanted to violate 2yr and send me back to prison. He didn't read my original sentence and notice i was under the POM much less know much about it. So I missed the benefit of a PDC program that i could've got... a probation bond after completing in 90days simply because he didnt counter offer it to my P. O. It had to be done before my paperwork got bind over to Superior Court.He never negotiated on my behalf or did Anything Aggessively.Didnt have any answers to any questions I asked.After 90days in jail i got 15yrs serve 3 on a drug possession. A sentence i could've gotten with a court appointed attorney. He didnt even get me the POMACT with my new sentence. And told me 5min before i got my plea that i wouldn't be able to own a dog for 5yrs.If that wasn't enough i asked for a copy of my new sentence wk after court and he tells Me the judge made a mistake by not giving Me credit.The mistake ws hiring a attorney who does no homework or footwork.

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.

Best Defense Attorney!

Back in September of 2014, my fiancé was notified that he was in violation of probation for leaving the state without permission. Because we knew this could mean potentially serious jail time as he is a registered sex offender, we began searching for a good criminal attorney. We found the Law Offic...es of Weintraub and Alper and gave them a call and we were in their office the next day which was the end of September. Howard and Benjamin were so helpful and genuinely nice we knew and had faith that they could help my fiancé. My fiancé was not taken to jail until December 2014 for the probation revocation. As soon as this happened Ben went straight to work for us by reaching out to the probation officer and gathering up all of the necessary information to explain why my fiancé did not need to be behind bars. The probation officer was going to recommend my fiancé serve six months for the violation but because Ben and Howard worked so hard the day of the court hearing (March 2015) Ben convinced the probation officer to go with three months and the probation officer said he would see what he could do. Long story short, the judge agreed to the three months and my fiancé was released a week later! Had it not been for Ben and Howard my fiancé would have had to serve six months in jail possibly more. I am forever grateful for their assistance and aggressiveness to bring my fiancé home. I would like to also add that my fiancé and I are working class citizens and could not afford all of the fees up front but Ben and Howard worked with us until we paid the balance in full. They were never rude about it or anything and I appreciate them for that as well. I would highly recommend anyone needing a criminal attorney to contact their office because they are the best!

The Only Law Firm You'll Ever Need!!!!

Howard Weintraub Law office is a great firm to have on your side. If you are EVER in the need of a Criminal Defense Attorney this is definitely with no doubt who you want! Howard and Ben are very knowledgeable. Howard is very personable but most of all very professional and I loved having him on my s...ide. His knowledge of the law was very impressive and his resources seemed endless. I would and will recommend Howard Weintraub’s law firm to all my family and friends but most of all to anyone in the area in need of the best legal team on their side! All charges against me were dismissed due to Howard and Ben’s relentless pursuit of my case. I hope I never need to use an attorney again but if I do Howard Weintraub’s Law Office will be the first and only call I make! When I was arrested I felt so violated from being put in the position I was in, but with Howard and Ben’s superior knowledge of the law as well as their OUTSTANDING ability to vigorously argue in my defense the trial was over before it even started. The evidence was so strong against me; I even began to second guess myself. Lastly, Howard took away nearly all of the stress and fear that came with being charged with a crime. He was worth every penny because he kept me informed, never judged me. I have never trusted attorneys’ due to the fact I worked with them closely for 16 years. I have heard their “behind the door comments” about their clients. I have watched and heard them “play” with their cases that weren’t in the best interest of their clients. God directed my family to this firm after talking with multiple lawyers first. You will not go wrong with this firm!!! They treat you more like family and not like their client.

Great Defense Lawyer - DUI/Possession

I was arrested in February 2013 on suspicion of DUI and possession of Marijuana. I did not consent to a breathalyzer test when arrested. This not being the first time I had been arrested for DUI, I knew I had to find a great lawyer to defend my rights. I located Howard and Ben via avvo.com an...d left a voicemail on a Sunday afternoon and my call was responded to within minutes. This was greatly reassuring that I had found the right lawyer as Howard and Ben always made themselves available when I had any questions or concerns. I met with Howard and Ben the following day at his office where he went through in great detail the facts and circumstances of my arrest. They were even familiar with the arresting officer. As far as cost goes, Howard and Ben let me know exactly the cost of your defense so there were no financial suprises throughout my case. I was able to continue driving prior to my court date as Howard and Ben were able to reach an agreement with the Officer at the administrative hearing. This was very important as I have to drive a good distance to get to and from work. When my day in court arrived Ben was able to reach a plea agreement with the prosecutor and reduced my DUI to wreckless driving. As this would have a 2nd DUI, Ben's negotiations may have saved my job and relieved a great strain on my marriage! I had to do 1 weekend in jail and 1 year of supervised probation, which I am gladly in the process of completing. I highly recommend Ben and Howard, who make a great legal team and made this proces as painless as possible!

"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."
