GREAT JOB: THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

I hired Howard Weintraub and Benjamin Alper to handle a criminal matter that I was involved in. When I first called the legal office of Weintraub & Alper, P.C. on a weekend, Howard immediately called me back and Howard and Ben met with me that Monday morning. They began running with my case ...and never looked backwards. Through the efforts of Howard and Ben my case went through the court system in an extremely efficient and expeditious manner and Howard and Ben achieved the result of having my charge dismissed and my arrest record expunged. I cannot thank Howard and Ben enough for their prompt quality representation of me. I highly recommend these two defense lawyers.

He seems like a nice man but he extended our case for over a year & nothing came of it we had to hire a new attorney & in 4 months if everything was taken care of and it all came out great our new lawyer did not try to take all our money it was half the price & the eventual outcome after only four mo...nths was great mr. Weintraub just let it go on and on and on and on and in the end did nothing except charge us a lot of money I would let you publish my name but he would try to find a way to sue me for something stay away from this attorney

The Internet provides people with a productive forum for sharing genuine information, including commenting upon the quality of services they receive from professionals such as attorneys. Unfortunately, the Internet also enables an individual to post false and misleading statements about someone, hiding behind the wall and protection of anonymity. It is impossible for any attorney, including me, to respond to an anonymous posting attacking his services. I do not even know if this comment is from an actual client. Nonetheless, contrary to the content in the comment, I can unequivocally state that throughout my 31 years of defending individuals, I never have "just let [my client's case] go on and on...and in the end did nothing". In this regard, everything that I do for any client is fully documented and, if I knew the identity of the writer of the above comment (assuming it is an actual past client), I can fully support herein, or in any other forum, everything that I did for this client. Also, I can fully establish herein, or in any other forum, that every dollar of the fee charged to this client was appropriately earned. I also can unequivocally state that my fees are extremely reasonable and totally in line with fees being charged by other attorneys with experience and qualifications similar to mine. Also, I clearly and definitely state that I never have charged any client even one dollar more than the agreed-upon contractual fee entered into between the client and me. As to another attorney supposedly obtaining a result more quickly than what was transpiring during my representation of this supposed client, I cannot begin to accurately address this statement without the disclosure of the client’s identity and receipt of information regarding the progression of that client’s case. What I can say, however, is that I give 150 percent of my time, experience and expertise to each and every client’s case. Every other client review on this site supports what I am saying herein. If the comment is written by an actual former client, I am sorry that this anonymous client was unhappy and did not feel able to address his/her dissatisfaction directly with me, rather than posting an after-the-fact anonymous review. The comment ends with the claim that the writer is electing to remain anonymous because, if I knew his/her identity, I would "sue [the writer] for something". As the writer surely knows, truth is an absolute defense to being sued for libel and slander. Therefore, if what he/she has written about me is true, I would not have any basis to sue that person. Indeed, the writer's concern about me suing him/her, clearly demonstrates the falsity and misleading nature of this comment.

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.

Howard and Ben are the BEST lawyers in Atlanta!

In November 2013 I received the phone call , from my son, that no mother wants to receive. It was my 20-year-old, college sophomore, and he had been arrested in a small town in southern Georgia. He was pulled over for speeding and the officer said he smelled marijuana and searched the car. In the ...search a small amount of marijuana was discovered in one of the passengers back packs. Because no one claimed ownership of the drug all 5 people were arrested for possession and as the driver of the car criminal liability was placed on my son. My son, who is an honors student, athlete and who had never been in trouble before was in jail for marijuana possession. His goal is to work for the State Department after graduating and this arrest could have a devastating impact on his future. We needed a lawyer and we needed a GREAT one! Howard was recommended to us. The arrest happened over a weekend and we called and left a message on Saturday. Sunday morning bright and early Howard called us back. He actually apologized for not speaking to us on Saturday as he was at a family wedding! We talked for close to an hour and needless to say, that phone call left me with a sense of hope that I had not felt in 24 hours. My son, husband and I met with Howard and Ben the next day. They spent a great deal of time getting to know my son and his character. They also discussed, at length, the charges and outlined a plan to get the charges dropped and expunged from his record. There was no guarantee but we left that meeting hopeful and knew we had the best lawyers on our side. Howard and Ben made us feel confident for our son's future. The case dragged on for a year (small time court system) but the whole time Howard and Ben were in touch with us. We were given the best news before Christmas that our son would have to pay a speeding ticket and the drug charges were dropped and would be expunged from his record. He never even had to step foot in court. This happened just in time for him to be able to leave the country, last week, to study abroad for the semester. Howard and Ben you saved our son's future! We are so grateful Thank you!

THE WEINTRAUB TEAM IS AWESOME ! Cont..... (REF : Review #103)

In reference to my previous review about 5 months ago I had said that I would update my AVVO review as the case continued. Today I am pleased to say that I am the happiest man alive and that I owe my life and freedom to the Weintraub Team ! It has been a very long 7 months since my arrest, unsure of... how my life would end up with this possible felony record hanging over my head. Throughout this time The Weintraub Team has worked tirelessly to get the results desired. A few days ago I received a call from Howard personally explaining to me that he was successful in getting the ADA to drop my case. WOW I was in complete shock ! He never made any promises to me about the case but always reassured me they would fight for me for the best result possible ! That is exactly what the TEAM has done ! I CAN'T POSSIBLY THINK OF A BETTER CHRISTMAS PRESENT AND BY FAR THE PERFECT WAY TO START A NEW YEAR ! Many THANKS go out to Howard, Ben, and Pat ! I don't believe there is another Law Firm out there that is as busy as The Weintraub Team yet stays in contact with their clients and keeps them updated as to the results of their current case as well as these guys do. If you have any question on who to hire for your criminal case, your search ends here ! I highly recommend the The Weintraub & Alper Team ! IT DOESN'T GET BETTER !!!!
