He will fight for you to the very end!

Howard represented me during a criminal case that could have landed me in jail for 10 years. Knowing this, it was imperative to have the best criminal defense attorney and after my first conversation with Howard, I knew he was the one! From the start, he was very informative and spent an incredible a...mount of time detailing what I should expect in the months to come. He was very upfront anout the possible outcomes of my case, none of which seemed appealing at the time, but he said he would do everything in his power to keep me out of prison. He did just that and, although the odds were stacked against me, he kept his promise and worked his legal "magic" to persuade the District Attorney and tje judge to sentence me only to probation and did so under the first offender umbrella. So, when I complete all of the terms of my probation, I can have my record expunged. Howard, along with his amazing colleague, Ben Alper and his extremely compassionate assistant, Debby, made an awful and extremely scary situation much better than I could have ever hoped for. The three of them, with Howard's leadership are, in my mind and heart, the true "Dream Team". Howard and his team will absolutely work tirelessly on getting you the best outcome for your case and they do it with heart. I hope to never need the services of a criminal defense attorney again, but if I do, he is my only choice. He is amazing and his team is amazing!

2 Count Federal Felony Indictment DISMISSED!

Mr. Weintraub is an extremely talented, aggressive and compassionate attorney. My case started in 2007, and after 5 years of investigation by several different agencies I was indicted with a two count felony indictment by a Federal Grand Jury. To this day it still amazes me how Mr. Weintraub was able... to convince the Government to dismiss the indictment in exchange for a misdemeanor plea. He even convinced the prosecution to recommend an unsupervised probation and allow me to travel outside the United States in order to continue to serve in the US military. My case originated in Iraq during the peak of the war and the Military has been aggressively pursuing prosecutions and convictions regardless of the facts. If I had been convicted of any felony it would have ended my 13 year career, but Mr. Weintraub was adamant that he wasn’t going to let the Government do that to me without a fight. When I was searching for attorneys in the Atlanta area I read several posts about Mr. Weintraub on this site and I was leery of the truthfulness behind the situations, but I’m living proof that this man will leave no stone unturned and will fight your case with relentless aggressiveness. Not only did I get my life back, but I gained a friend for life and I highly encourage you to look no further because no one is going to fight for your freedom like Mr. Weintraub.

DUI reduced to Reckless Driving - Thanks to Mr. Howard Weintraub and Mr. Ben Alper

I was arrested for DUI in May 2012. I was a full refusal and did not blow into the breathalyzer. Mr Howard Weintraub and Mr Ben Alper represented me through the 3 month process and were able to reduce my charge to reckless driving. This was especially challenging because the prosecutor did not want t...o "award full refusals". Yet, after exposing flaws in the police report and working with the prosecution, my charge was reduced. I appreciated their honesty, availability, and diligence throughout the whole process. I would recommend this firm to anyone in a similar situation.

An Exceptional trusted advisor and defender

I initially contacted Mr. Weintraub after reviewing the ratings of other attorneys in this area. This was the first experience for my teenage son, who was charged as a minor in possession, with an open container. What a surreal experience, when I was called by my son at 3am in the morning. I calle...d Mr. Weintraub's office later that morning and by the afternoon both my son and I were coached with advise on the legal process, alternatives, reasonable expectations and the possible outcomes. Mr. Weintraub and his legal staff provided a calming effect by explaining the process in layman terms, but I also observed how efficiently Mr. Weintraub executed his legal skills and diplomacy in the courtroon, with the solicitor and speaking with the judge. We are on track to have this matter resolved with a very positive outcome and my son has also learned a lot through this process in terms of how the legal system works. The discussions between Mr. Weintraub and my son have provided a learning experience my son will will definitely remember and appreciate in the future. Mr. Weintraub and his legal staff have gone above and beyond my expectations as both a defense lawyer and an individual who is interested in my son understanding and respect for the legal system. I highly recommend Mr. Weintraub and his legal team without hesitation.

Howard Weintraub - Best Attorney in Atlanta

I have worked with Attorneys on various Civil and Criminal issues in the past and Howard Weintraub is without a doubt, a class above the rest. In my most recent situation, Howard was asked to take over a criminal case from another attorney, who's strategy was to wait for the judicial process to wind... down to the statute of limitations. This strategy resulted in Felony charges hanging on the Defendants record, blocking work and school opportunities. Howard's experience, knowledge and expertise lead the defense in a completely different direction, and the case was resolved in a timely manner and in favor of the defendant. In addition, Howard and his staff's efforts resulted in an expungement of the origional charges. Throughout the process Howard and his staff were completely candid and proactive involving the defendant and myself in every strategic decision and action. There are many attorneys to choose from, but there are few attorneys who can not only prepare a viable defense, but have the skill to present this defense in a logical, clear and persuasive way to the court. I believe Howard Weintraub is the best attorney I have ever worked with. I have recommended him to family and friends in the past, and will continue to do so in the future.
