I had put myself in an extremely bad situation where I could have been going to jail for a very long time. I prayed to God to point me in the right direction in choosing a lawyer in Atlanta. He guided me towards Howard Weintraub. Howard treated me like a daughter and helped me in more ways than I... could have imagined. I was terrified of what the outcome would be, never having been through anything like it before. Howard made it very easy, keeping me calm through the whole process and the outcome couldn't have been better. Thanks to Howard, I got off with no time, no record, and no probation. It was like the entire situation never happened. I thank God for guiding me to Howard Weintraub!

If you are looking for a lawyer that sugarcoats and gives his/her clients unreasonable expectations, Howard James Weintraub is not for you. Upon review of my case, Mr. Weintraub provided me with a thorough, understandable and law based prognosis that immediately relieved my anxiety as to the final di...sposition of the case, all this before I even retained him. He kept me abreast of every single detail on the case and provided a shoulder to bare my burdens. He was not only my lawyer throughout, but to this day and henceforth a friend. His ability to set forth the facts of my case and engage both the Judge and the prosecutor, led to the most desirable result we could image, not a single day in jail and the least possible fine. He made it possible that I was never handcuffed nor treated like a common criminal throughout my ordeal. I highly recommend Howard Jarret Weintruab to anyone who needs not just an attorney, but also a defender.

UPDATE: This testimonial is provided as an update to a previous review, it is important for people to know that there are other positive outcomes as a result of Mr. Weintraub's representation! I've been accepted to Pace Law School, where I'll be studying environmental law beginning this fall. I ...could not be happier about that. Pace's environmental law program is ranked third in the nation, and I'm certain that it will prepare me well for a career in the field. I am grateful for every one of you and the help you provided, whether it was writing a letter of recommendation, preparing me for the LSAT, giving (invaluable) feedback on my essay, or just providing support to me in this pursuit in general--I could not have done it without you, and I could not be more appreciative of all of the help that you gave. Thank you, and best wishes. Conviction Expunged, Mr. Weintraub is Incredibly Talented and Effective! I first met Howard Weintraub in January 2006. From that first meeting until the termination of my case in December 2009, Mr. Weintraub demonstrated complete professionalism and a thorough determination to have my case proceed with as little damage to me as possible. He knows the legal system inside and out, and worked diligently to ensure every option available was pursued. I was comfortable with Mr. Weintraub from the first meeting, and was always made to feel confident but realistic about potential outcomes. I did a lot of research on my own, and I had many questions and concerns, and Mr. Weintraub always answered my questions and addressed my concerns promptly. In my case, a conviction carried a minimum mandatory sentence of one year in prison. Mr. Weintraub was able to work with the prosecutors and judge to get me a sentence that allowed me to avoid any jail or prison time. The value of that outcome is immeasurable. Now, less than three years after reaching this deal, the conviction is expunged and Mr. Weintraub is working to get the arrest expunged as well. It's possible that I'll be able to carry on with my life without so much as an arrest appearing on my record. As it is, my conviction will not appear on background checks, which means I will not be affected by my conviction in any meaningful, lasting way. Mr. Weintraub worked with probation officers to successfully get my sentence terminated early, and his willingness to work on my behalf at every stage of my case, even post-sentencing, was expressed from the beginning. Simply put, Mr. Weintraub showed a commitment to my case that I would not have received from most attorneys, and as a result, I received what I believe is the best possible outcome in my case—indeed, I could not have anticipated an outcome as positive as mine has been. Mr. Weintraub is incredibly talented and as effective as I believe anyone could be. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a defense attorney. - Atlanta, GA

In our house we call Atlanta attorney Howard Weintraub the “mailman” because he delivered in representing my son Waltrant Cash. In 2005 my son was wrongfully convicted by a jury in Carroll County Superior Court of aggravated child molestation and he was sentenced to ten years. After sentencing I repl...aced his trial lawyer with Howard Weintraub. Mr. Weintraub filed for a new trial but the judge denied any relief. Mr. Weintraub appealed to the Court of Appeals of Georgia and on November 20, 2008 they reversed my son’s conviction. My son’s case is reported at Cash v. State, 294 Ga. App. 741, 669 S.E.2d 731 (2008). Because of Mr. Weintraub’s skills my son’s nightmare ended on February 03, 2009 when he was released from prison. I thank Mr. Weintraub for saving my son’s life and for reuniting my family. I highly recommend Howard Weintraub to anyone needing an excellent criminal defense lawyer who will vigorously and ethically fight for his client. Rev. Rodney Cash, Carrollton, Georgia

One morning, at approximately 1:30 a.m., I was pulled over by a police officer in DeKalb County for supposedly speeding and failing to pull over when passing a stationary police vehicle that had activated emergency lights. The officer asked me how much I had to drink that night and after I responded... he proceeded to investigate me for DUI. The officer concluded that I didn’t do well on the eye test and the two balancing tests and he said that I tested positive on the hand-held breath testing device. I then was arrested for DUI and I took a breath test at the police station where I registered 1 1/2 times the legal limit, as I tested at .124. My job duties required me to drive outside of Georgia and a DUI conviction would have cost me my job. I needed a real good lawyer to get me out of this mess. After speaking with several attorneys who handled DUI cases, I decided to hire Howard Weintraub. I certainly made the right decision and retained the right lawyer. Mr. Weintraub did a fantastic job in defending my case. He filed a motion asking the judge to throw out all of the evidence gathered by the officer: including the officer’s observations of me (such as his claims that I was speeding, did not yield to the officer’s stationary vehicle, had an odor of alcohol, bloodshot eyes, slurred speech); my admission that I had been drinking; my performances on all of the field sobriety evaluations; and my .124 breath test result. The judge held a hearing and agreed with all of Howard Weintraub’s arguments, disagreed with the arguments of the prosecutors, and then suppressed all of the evidence against me. The prosecutors appealed my case to the Georgia Court of Appeals and, in January of 2009, the Court of Appeals agreed with the judge and affirmed the ruling that threw out all of the evidence. My nightmare is over. Because of Howard Weintraub I was not convicted of anything arising out of the incident, much less a DUI. Now I can live with no suspension of my Georgia driver’s license. Because of Howard Weintraub I was not convicted of DUI and still have a clean record. I wholeheartedly recommend Howard Weintraub to anyone needing an excellent, well learned, dedicated, hard working and honest criminal defense lawyer and especially to anyone looking for a great lawyer to defend them in a DUI case.
