Best Defense lawyer!

Howard Weintraub is one of the best defense attorneys in metro Atlanta. He recently defended my daughter in numerous cases in several counties during her wild drug escapades. He was able to coordinate and consolidate all the cases together so that she got drug treatment and rehabilitation and not ...time in prison. Howard is a hard working, honest and honorable lawyer. I would recommend him to anyone that needed a criminal attorney. I was very satisfied with the results of my daughter's cases.

HOWARD WEINTRAUB AND BENJAMIN ALPER ARE THE BEST!

Last year I came under investigation by a federal law enforcement agency which is under the mistaken position that I am using my business to engage in criminal activity. Government agents have gone out and talked about my alleged criminal activity with companies that my business does work for. The ...impact of this investigation and of agents talking about me to other businesses had the potential effect of closing down my business. We are a small family run business where I employ approximately 20 people. I could not let these families who depend upon me down and I needed to hire aggressive and hard fighting experienced and knowledgeable criminal defense lawyers to represent me and fight for me. I hired Howard Weintraub and Benjamin Alper to be my lawyers and to help me through this nightmare. Through his efforts Howard convinced the business that I most needed to continue to work with me that I was not engaging in criminal activity as was being insinuated by the government agents in their interviews. Because of Howard’s successful efforts my business continues to operate despite the government’s efforts to close me down. Although my case is not over and I am aware the investigation into allegations about me may continue for a long period of time I have the peace of mind knowing that Howard Weintraub and Benjamin Alper are fighting all the way and all of the time for me. Howard has been extremely dedicated to me and speaks with me on an almost daily basis. I know that I am not the only client that Howard has but he certainly treats me as if I were his only client. Howard put in long hours over the past holiday season and on Christmas day and over the New Years holiday to finish an important aspect of my defense. Over the years I have used several lawyers and I can honestly say without any hesitation that Howard Weintraub is the best of the best. I highly recommend Howard Weintraub and Benjamin Alper to anyone who is being accused of any type of criminal activity.

HOWARD JARRETT WEINTRAUB AND BENJAMIN BLACK ALPER ARE FANTASTIC CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYERS!

In 2011 my nephew who is like a son to me was arrested in Gwinnett County Georgia for armed robbery. I am the mother of a well known National Football League player and I hoped that the fame of my son would not interfere with my nephew receiving a fair disposition of his case. Following my nephew’s... arrest I hired the law firm of Weintraub & Alper to represent him. When I hired Howard Weintraub and Benjamin Alper I was aware that my nephew was facing at least 10 years in prison if he was convicted of the armed robbery. I prayed to God almost every day that Howard and Ben could somehow be able to spare my nephew from this long time in prison. Through constant communication with my nephew, my sister and me Howard kept us completely aware of everything he was doing over the passage of time in the defense of my nephew. Howard’s negotiations with the prosecutors and his trial preparation eventually convinced the prosecutors to drop the armed robbery charge and a plea deal was reached that spared my nephew from being in prison for 10 years or even longer. As a result of Howard and Ben’s legal skills my nephew has been home for quite a while now and he is doing very well, residing with his family. Over the several years following the day I hired Howard and Ben to represent my nephew Howard and his wonderful administrative assistant Patricia Powell have treated me as if I were a member of Howard’s family. Howard and Patti call me periodically to see how I am doing, as I have had a serious medical issue. I consider Howard and Patti to be friends of mine. Howard even invited me and members of my family to his daughter’s wedding in 2013. Howard truly is a wonderful person and a fantastic attorney. He deeply and genuinely cares for his clients and their families. I highly recommend Howard Weintraub and Benjamin Alper to anyone in need of excellent criminal defense attorneys. Howard and Ben are a great team and they will not do you wrong.

THANK YOU MR. WEINTRAUB

I am a nineteen year old and I was helped twice this year in two cases by Mr. Weintraub. The first one was I signed a contract that I did not understand with a gym and even though I gave medical proof of reason to cancel the gym was threatening me with collections. One call to Mr. Weintraub and h...e told me what I needed to do. Within a couple of weeks -- the gym stopped harassing me and it was over. I also got falsely accused of something this summer that really scared me . Mr. Weintraub kept me informed which really reduced how scared I felt. He talked to me for hours and spent more hours investigating everything and proving my innocence. I was really scared and I am so happy nothing happened to me. I am really lucky my mom knew to call Mr. Weintraub for help. He is really nice and treated me with respect and made me feel a lot better about everything.

WE TRUSTED HOWARD WEINTRAUB AND BEN ALPER WITH OUT SON’S LIFE AND THEY CAME THROUGH—PLEASE TRUST THESE TWO LAWYERS!!

With the current state of affairs with police officers and Black American, as the parents of a young Black male that has never, ever, been in trouble with the law and had just graduated from a prestigious University in Atlanta Georgia, it was mind boggling when he was pulled over in Georgia for what ...I feel was being “Black and driving a nice car”, it was the most frighten thing for us to get a call from our son stating that he had been arrested. He was taken to a police station and was not allowed to call his parents. It was only through persistent calling to the police station that we found out that he needed a telephone account to make calls outside the jail to his parents. We didn’t know the charges, reason, or what was happening to our son. I immediately started to research the lawyers in that area that could handle this case and tell us what was going on with our son. We contacted the Law office of Howard J. Weintraub at 11:45 p.m. We knew it was very late and was hoping to receive a call from him the next morning but approximately 30 minutes later at 12:15 a.m., Howard called us in regards to our son. We were totally shocked that a lawyer would call us at that early time of the morning. Howard did not make any guarantees or promises to us. He explained the legal process to us and told us what to expect. He met with our son at 8:30 a.m. that same morning and went over the case with him and with us. Once again, he never made any guarantees or promises to us or to our son but he did say that he would do everything in his power to get the charges reduced and eventually dismissed. Our son was facing felony drug charges and vehicle violations (tint to dark in car). After our son returned home, we were thankful that he did not end up hurt, beaten, or worst dead as a result of what happened on interstate 85 with these police officers. Howard and Ben were a life saver and life line to us and the legal system. Howard never panicked, worried or stressed but kept us focused on taking care of our son and he and his partner, Ben, taking care of this case. Race, social economic status, education, or religion did not matter to Howard and Ben, only ensuring that our son got the best possible legal representation. They fought for our son as if he was their very own relative and they always followed up with us 2-3 times a week letting us know what was going on with his case. I know that isn’t the norm for lawyers but it was for Howard and Ben. In the end, all felony charges have been dropped and he was approved for a diversion program and once that is complete, his record will be expunged. Howard and Ben did assure us that their work would not be completed until every “I” was dotted and every “T” was crossed for our son and his record is expunged. If you want a lawyer that will speak the truth, not BS you, and fight for your rights, then you want Howard and Ben as your lawyers. It’s not a black or white thing for them, it’s the right thing. This amazing Atlanta law firm looked beyond race and saw our needs…….and we thank God every day for them. They will always be a part of our family.
