Howard was amazing the entire time. He took his time to listen and cared about me and my situation. He continued the case long enough so we would have all of our ducks in row so we could plea our case. He got all my citations (6 of them) including a DUI all reduce to only Reckless driving!!! Some...thing that was called a miracle by our actual Judge!!!

Mr. Weintraub played a pivotal role in my life when he dispensed with my case that would have involved severe immigration consequences if the desired Pre-Trial Diversion result was not achieved. As my knowledgeable, well-connected and empathetic defense lawyer, Mr. Weintraub was able to deftly negoti...ate with all the different parties involved in my case to achieve a result that was focused on making me a better person, but, most importantly, make myself feel to be more of an asset to the community. My lawyer would arrange an innovative TPO solution with the Superior Court that worked for my family and also maximized my protection any adverse immigration consequences. To ensure the case was handled properly, regarding immigration issues, Mr. Weintraub brought in one of the top-notch immigration consultants available, a person who had tangible experience of working for the US Immigration Service before moving into a consultant role. After the TPO issue was solved, Mr. Weintraub was able to negotiate a Pre-Trial Diversion, PTD, dispensation with the Solicitor General, and I was frankly made to feel that the Solicitor’s office was genuinely committed to helping me rather than trying to simply punish me. I had been afraid that no Solicitor would want to help me, but Mr. Weintraub soon put those fears to rest; however, he was always frank about the reality of the situation and what I had to do to make things right. One action that I really remember is that Mr. Weintraub also asked the Solicitor to have my arrest record expunged as a condition written into my PTD agreement, which is something I never would have thought to ask!! I followed through on all Mr. Weintraub’s expert instructions and the PTD was achieved to have my case dropped. A few years later, when I applied for US Naturalization, due to the nature of my past case, I sought the assistance of an expert Immigration attorney. When the immigration attorney reviewed the file on the case that Mr. Weintraub dispensed, he remarked that he has rarely seen such a clean and air-tight PTD case executed. I then had absolutely no issues at the critical Naturalization interview with the US Immigration Service.

HOWARD DID A GREAT JOB AS MY CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY IN MY FEDERAL CASE! Never in my life would I have ever thought I would ever be arrested for anything. Then after helping local Police in an investigation regarding money laundering by Arab middle easterners, I was arrested by the FBI, and char...ged with impersonating a government official. I couldn’t believe what was happening, My Family did their research as to who was best to help me out of this situation and Howard Weintruab was recommended by several other law firms. Howard had me out on bail within 12 hours of getting the call to help me. Howard’s experience as a Federal Prosecutor and his relationships in the Federal courthouse with Judges and current Prosecutors was invaluable in helping with my case. Due to the complicated nature of the situation Howard was able to work out a plea agreement and I was granted probation. Howard did everything in his power to get me out of the situation and we had to settle for the probation. But it was the best possible outcome to a nightmare situation. Howard is a kind and caring person, he has his moments as we all do, but we have come to be great friends and there is nothing I wouldn’t do for him if he asked. He has helped me greatly to get through this part of my life and he has been there to counsel me on other parts, my life is better for having Howard in it. He is someone who gives his word and stands by it, there are few people left in this world with the values and morality that Howard has. It is with great pleasure that I recommend the services of Howard J. Weintraub, and I encourage anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney to call him.

Howard Weintraub did a phenomenal job representing me in a federal criminal case involving a drug conspiracy ring to distribute methamphetamine in Tennessee. I was arrested in February, 2010. When we hired Mr. Weintraub I was facing 20 years in prison with a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years.... All of his decisions in representing me proved to be 100 % correct. He was able to get me a bond, so after I was arrested I stayed in jail for less than one day and Iwas back home with my family. Over several months, Howard Weintraub analyzed and thoroughly reviewed the government’s evidence against me and planned the strategy on how to defend me. The decision was made by Mr. Weintraub and our family to have me plead guilty to conspiracy. I pled guilty in June, 2010. In this Tennessee federal court, everyone who pleads guilty is then immediately incarcerated to await sentencing. Miraculously, and to this day I don’t know how, Howard Weintraub was able to convince the Federal Judge to allow me to remain free. Of all the Defendants, it was Howard Weintraub’s client, myself, who remained out of jail free on bond after being convicted. At sentencing in February, 2011, instead of the mandatory 120 months and the maximum of 240 months, Howard Weintraub convinced the Judge to sentence me to 18 months. Incredibly, Howard Weintraub also convinced the Judge to allow me to voluntarily surrender to the place of my incarceration no sooner than June of 2011. So I continues to remain free on bond. I highly recommend Howard Weintraub to represent anyone charged with federal criminal offenses. He is highly dedicated to his clients, tenacious in representing his clients, thoroughly prepared for court, and in the courtroom he is a very effective and convincing attorney as he fights from the heart. On behalf of myself and my entire family I humbly take this opportunity to publicly thank Howard Weintraub for saving my life. Without Howard, I would not be able to watch my daughter grow up. Now I can be a part of her life. I couldn't ask for anything more.

My daughter was arrested for DUI and given numerous traffic citations three days after graduating from high school. After searching for an attorney that specialized in representing minors charged with alcohol /drug related offenses, I was referred to Howard by a friend of the family. At our first m...eeting, Howard agreed to represent my daughter and immediately put together a defense strategy including a 15 point action plan. The action plan included doing community service, writing a court essay, completing a psychological evaluation, and attending AA meetings. All the action items were to be completed prior to the hearing. It became very clear to me that Howard had a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience defending minors charged with DUI. He expressed a genuine concern for my daughter’s physical and mental health. While awaiting the hearing, my daughter was arrested again for minor in possession three weeks after entering her first year of college. Howard recommended we go to court; face this charge and plea bargain as soon as possible. My daughter was fined and sentenced to one year probation. One month later, she was arrested (the third time in less than six months) for minor in possession. Now in violation of probation, she should have been sent right to jail. Howard was able to convince the court to delay jail time until the break between semesters and limit the time served so she wouldn’t miss any time from school. Needless to say, this situation became very complex as it spread across multiple counties and courts within the state. As I watched him negotiate with prosecutors and speak with the court’s administrative staff, I realized how highly respected he is within the state’s judicial system. Howard was able to get the third arrest for MIP dismissed and the DUI reduced to reckless driving. I am forever grateful to Howard and highly recommend him to anyone charged with DUI or MIP. Not only did he vigorously defend my daughter as if she were his child; he provided leadership, guidance, and counsel to me through this period of time. My daughter has turned her life around! She is completing her college education, receiving the Hope scholarship, and sober while doing so.
