Several years ago while I was a high school teacher I was wrongfully accused of sexual misconduct with a 15 year old student. I hired Howard Weintraub to be my lawyer. Because of the masterful job that Mr. Weintraub did in pretrial hearings in attacking my accuser’s story, the State offered me a deal... that if I pled guilty to a lesser charge and surrendered my teaching license I would get probation. The judge told Mr. Weintraub and me that if I turned down this deal and went to trial the judge would give me at least 20 years in prison if the jury said I was guilty. I turned down the deal and placed my life and the lives of my wife and children in the hands of Mr. Weintraub. Mr. Weintraub did a fantastic job of representing me during my two week long trial and the jury found me to be not guilty of all of the false charges brought against me. I owe my life to Mr. Weintraub and I highly recommend him to anyone needing a hardworking, honest and aggressive attorney.

Anyone who has been charged with serious crimes by the federal government knows how stressful this can be to both oneself and especially to one’s family and loved ones. As such, I needed an attorney who I could trust my life with. This was no easy task as I only knew the negative connotations associa...ted with attorneys. After hiring Attorney Howard Weintraub I realized that my previously formed negative thoughts about attorneys were no longer true as I had found an attorney who did more than he promised. Not only were Howard Weintraub’s fees reasonable, and the number of hours he spent on my case well exceeded the fees he charged, but he took my case personally. His knowledge about the federal laws and the federal sentencing guidelines is remarkable. The weeks that we spent together preparing my case for court made me realize that I had found an exceptional attorney who eased my stress and believed in me. His relentless pursuit for justice in my case resulted in a very favorable outcome for me. As such I not only hired an attorney, but I gained a friend who my family and I will always hold very close to our hearts. I have no hesitation in discussing my experience with Howard Weintraub and I would welcome contact with anyone who is searching for an attorney who will be straight forward and honest and will give 100% of his efforts to ensure that you have the best legal representation available.

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.

Howard is a great attorney. He handles his cases real good. He spends lots of his time working on them. He helped me with my case very well and spent lots of his time and effort on it. I got a great outcome on it and I was very pleased on how it turned out. I thanked him a lot on how a great atto...rney he has been. I would really turn to him again for defense.

In 2008, my daughter found herself in need of a lawyer. Since this case was especially personal to me, it was vital that the lawyer we retained have a thorough knowledge of the law and that he would be able to resolve this matter in the best interest of my daughter. Because time was essential in ou...r case, he responded quickly and professionally. Recognizing that Mr. Weintraub was a former prosecutor and U.S. Attorney, it gave me great comfort and peace of mind knowing that he possessed the experience and knowledge of both sides of the legal system. It is impossible for me to adequately express the gratitude, respect and trust that my family and me feel towards Mr. Weintraub; he is an outstanding lawyer!
