Great Attorney

Mr. Weintraub epitomizes what an attorney should be....very professional, caring, skillful and a great planner. Most importantly, he truly cares about those he takes on as clients and works with all parties to find the best possible solution and outcome. His handling of our case was precisely what ...we expected from the first day we met him. We would highly recommend this attorney, his client relationship and legal experience and skills are excellent.

BEST CRIMINAL LAWYER AROUND - YOU MUST CALL IF YOU GET IN TROUBLE

Howard Weintraub is masterful in the courtroom. This is as I perceived him as he deposed the arresting officer who mas moving to Afghanistan and the State moved to have his testimony preserved in my DUI/Less Safe Court case. He knew everything to ask and ascertain from the officer and was bold and ag...gressive in the treatment of Henry County's court system. His New York style and sense of humor made me feel like I was in the winning scene from "My Cousin Vinny". He was totally prepared and didn't hesitate to discredit the officer's testimony by any and all means. Howard wanted to take my case to court but in my best interest he was able to plea the charge down to reckless driving. I believe with a fair jury selection Howard could have won the case. He was not willing to take the chance however, that Henry County could lock me up for an extended time and impose all their punishments that they would have. The mere fact that Howard got the charges dropped to reckless driving speaks of the hard work that Howard and his associate Ben Alper had done as Henry County never wants to let anything go. Howard kept me informed throughout the affair of my case. He was always very kind and sympathetic about my case and answered all my questions and addressed my concerns through his knowledge and wisdom of the law. I would highly recommend Howard and his team to anyone who finds themselves in trouble with a DUI arrest. My only regret during the process was that I did not get to see Howard perform during a jury trial. I have no doubt that he would have made me see legal magic. Thank you to Pat, his legal secretary who called me numerous times and took many of my phone calls and relayed messages. Thanks to Ben, Howard's associate for being so cool during my plea bargain. Trust me, my stress was less. Again, a personal, heartfelt thank you, Howard for working so hard for me.

17 year old charged with possession/intent to distribute

Howard came highly recommended as our family found ourselves in need of a criminal attorney. From the outset, Howard's demeanor is professional yet "down to earth." Our family immediately felt that we were in good hands. Howard is not your stereotypical lawyer. His geniune concern/attention to our ca...se was very comforting. In addition, Howard is unique in that he is not a 9-5 type of lawyer. It was not uncommon to get a phone call from him before or after business hours on many days. He was senisitive to the urgency of our case and agreed to meet us on a holiday weekend. This spoke volumes to the type of lawyer that he is. Our son was driving someone elses car which contained marijuana, a scale and bags. Based on the fact that it was not his car coupled with a successful polygraph, Howard was able to get the criminal charges against our son dropped. I would recommend Howard highly to anyone who is looking for a criminal lawyer who will work as hard on your case, as if it was his very own.

Miracle Worker

Howard was amazing the entire time. He took his time to listen and cared about me and my situation. He continued the case long enough so we would have all of our ducks in row so we could plea our case. He got all my citations (6 of them) including a DUI all reduce to only Reckless driving!!! Some...thing that was called a miracle by our actual Judge!!!

Federal Case

HOWARD DID A GREAT JOB AS MY CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY IN MY FEDERAL CASE! Never in my life would I have ever thought I would ever be arrested for anything. Then after helping local Police in an investigation regarding money laundering by Arab middle easterners, I was arrested by the FBI, and char...ged with impersonating a government official. I couldn’t believe what was happening, My Family did their research as to who was best to help me out of this situation and Howard Weintruab was recommended by several other law firms. Howard had me out on bail within 12 hours of getting the call to help me. Howard’s experience as a Federal Prosecutor and his relationships in the Federal courthouse with Judges and current Prosecutors was invaluable in helping with my case. Due to the complicated nature of the situation Howard was able to work out a plea agreement and I was granted probation. Howard did everything in his power to get me out of the situation and we had to settle for the probation. But it was the best possible outcome to a nightmare situation. Howard is a kind and caring person, he has his moments as we all do, but we have come to be great friends and there is nothing I wouldn’t do for him if he asked. He has helped me greatly to get through this part of my life and he has been there to counsel me on other parts, my life is better for having Howard in it. He is someone who gives his word and stands by it, there are few people left in this world with the values and morality that Howard has. It is with great pleasure that I recommend the services of Howard J. Weintraub, and I encourage anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney to call him.
