Grateful In NYC

Two months ago, I called The Law offices Of Howard J. Weintraub with a very heavy heart. My younger brother, my only brother had been picked up in New York City for Violation Of Probation. He was subsequently extradicted to Georgia where the original conviction took place. My family and I didn't... know where to turn as we live in NYC and were not familiar with any law firms in the Atlanta area. I spoke to several Atlanta attorneys - and then, I spoke to Howard Weintraub. Within 10 minutes, I knew this was the man my family and I wanted to represent my brother. I was so impressed with his sense of professionalism and his proposed strategy that I was confident he would prevail. My brother was facing serious prison time as this was his third arrest for the same criminal offense. The D.A. not only wanted a considerable amount of incarceration (up to 10 years) but he was determined to place a felony on my brother's record that would follow him for a lifetime. Howard communicated his strategy to me in detail. He made no false promises but his plan for my brother's defense was brilliant. My confidence and trust in him have proven to be right. Not only did my brother not get prison time but after the firm's presentation, the judge decided not to place a felony on his record. My family and I are very grateful to the law firm of Howard J. Weintraub. They truly deserve the excellent ratings they receive. Howard Weintraub kept us informed and calm. He has a wonderful sense of humor and a total lack of pretention but when it comes to defending his clients, he knows how to go for the jugular. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone who wants the best defense possible. Thank you Howard. Roseanne NYC

Howard Weintraub is a formidable, Honest and Caring Lawyer

My daughter recently became embroiled in civil litigation concerning a very large sum of money that she received through a business venture engaged in a few years earlier. This matter involved several hundreds of thousands of dollars and my daughter was facing certain financial hardship if she would... lose this litigation and would then be ordered by the court to return the money. I was aware of Mr Weintraub's reputation as an exceptional lawyer. Although this was a civil case and Mr Weintraub is a Criminal Defense Attorney, my daughter wanted Mr. Weintraub to represent her. We asked him to consider taking on our case, and he did not hesitate for a moment. Within two days of commencing his representation,Mr. Weintraub fully analyzed all the pertinent facts and documents and all the legal defenses available for my daughter. He also designed a very sound strategy that would enable her to prevail and retain the large sum of money in question. This strategy proved to be successful and because of Mr. Weintraub's excellent skills, my daughter has not been required to return even one dollar!! We are so grateful to Attorney Weintraub for helping us. We found Mr. Weintraub to be extremely professional, courteous, empathetic, and most importantly, extremely knowledgeable. Also, contrary to the belief that lawyers are out only for the money, Mr. Weintraub was not at all driven by the money, and his fee arrangement was very fair. He never promised that we would be victorious, but he did promise that he would do everything in his power to help my daughter. He kept us informed at each stage of the proceedings and delivered on his promise. I highly recommend Howard Weintraub to anyone needing a formidable advocate who is an honest and caring lawyer.

A GREAT CRIMINAL LAWYER AND A CIVIL LITIGATOR TOO

I had a civil matter relating to a large amount of money that I was being forced to relinquish. I began researching lawyers who informed me I was dealing with a civil matter. I came upon Howard J Weintraub and though I recognized he was a Criminal Defense Attorney, and knew that my situation was a c...ivil one, I nonetheless contacted Attorney Weintraub to determine if he could help me. I felt vulnerable and afraid that I would have to return the money. He agreed to review the information, contacted the Attorneys handling the situation, and advised me what documents to send, proving that I was not involved and should not be placed at risk. Mr Weintraub followed up with a letter outlining the reasons I should not be part of this and instructed the Attorneys not to contact me again--that anything further, would go through his firm. It has been over two years and they have not contacted me again. I am grateful I found Mr. Weintraub. He made a potentially devastating problem go away. Not only is he a great Criminal Defense Lawyer, but a Civil one too. Thank you. A Grateful Client

Fantastic Lawyer!

HOWARD WEINTRAUB IS AN ATTORNEY WITH RESOLUTENESS, ENDURANCE AND INTESTINAL FORTITUDE A very close friend of mine recently was charged with criminal offenses in Georgia and he retained attorneys Howard Jarrett Weintraub and Benjamin Black Alper to represent him. During the course of the c...ase, I came to know Howard very well and it became clear to me that Howard and Ben did a phenomenal job representing their client. The case was extremely challenging because of the personalities of the defendant and the State’s witnesses, including the alleged victim in the case. From first-hand knowledge of observing Howard in his office during his never-ending laborious trial preparation, as well as observing him in the courtroom during an evidentiary hearing, I certainly can attest herein to the resoluteness, endurance, and intestinal fortitude of Howard when it comes to representing his clients. I highly recommend Attorneys Howard Weintraub and Benjamin Alper to anyone in need of tough, yet compassionate, criminal defense lawyers.

HOWARD WEINTRAUB: THE MOST PROFESSIONAL, CARING AND COMPASSIONATE ATTORNEY THAT I HAVE KNOWN.

I have known Howard Weintraub both as an employee and as a client. In both experiences, he has been the most professional, caring and compassionate attorney that I have known. In the winter of 2012, my son was in the hospital for having been stabbed by his girlfriend. He was in the hospital's area w...here patients who are going to be sent to jail are housed. I called Howard in a panic because my son was accused of a crime he did not commit and he was hurt badly in addition. Howard went to the hospital and spoke with my son, eventually managing to get the charges dropped. It was a terrifying experience for my family but Howard was there to walk us through the process, answer all our questions and quiet our fears. I have worked for many attorneys and I have never worked for someone who is as brilliant, compassionate and productive as Howard. He works tirelessly for every client, researching and examining every aspect of their cases. His outcomes are amazing because of the diligent work of Attorney Weintraub and his staff. Howard is highly ethical, knowledgeable, trustworthy and responsible for giving you the best representation money can buy. If you hire Attorney Weintraub you can be assured that you are with the very best attorney.
