Simply Amazing

We have worked with several lawyers in the past but none of them even compare to what Howard has done. When we happened upon him we were in a very precarious situation to say the least, and we were very pressed for time. 1) Howard, before we even working with him officially, sat us down went over... the circumstances so that we were informed of everything that was even going on. From my experience that almost never happens. 3) A lot of lawyers will do this thing when they ,forgive my language, talk out of their ass about things they know nothing about, and try to make you feel their doing more than they are actually doing to justify their cost. Howard, if you ever meet him, is very upfront and honest with you,..no surprises...no talking sideways or seemingly hidden agendas and all he asks for, in this regard, as that you do the same with him. Honestly this was probably what made us feel the most at ease initially. You don't want to work with someone ,whose work can shape your future, to be wishy-washy or half baked. 4) We knew things happened before our previous lawyer and "things happened" he was no where to be seen...we couldn't reach him for 5 or 6 hours at a time...He didn't do anything in the year that he'd been hired. There's nothing worse than needing some one you hired..and realizing that they aren't there. Howard on the other hand kept us up to date with all of the developments as they unfolded. and when he needed something we gave it to him asap. in short...He did more in 2 weeks...than any attorney did in the past year. 6) In the courtroom he clearly puts his money where his mouth is.He does his due diligence and does not try to "promise you the world" or anything but I guarantee you this...you want this guy batting for you when it comes to legal affairs....I never once...in my life thought about having a " go to attorney" but He...might just be that guy. Sometimes when you pay an attorney it feels like you're pouring money down the drain but NOT with Howard...you;re definitely getting your money's worth...AND THEN SOME

Howard Weintraub was God sent

I was locked up with a mountain of false accusations . My retained attorneys were playing games. My children linked with Howard, explained everything to him. He saw the entire picture, understood what was going on and worked with my family. He had me released on bond. He accomplished more in t...hree days than my previous retained attorneys did in an entire year. It feels great to have an attorney who believes you. I will gladly recommend to anybody that needs a good attorney.

Thanks, Howard!

One of the poorer choices I have made in life (driving after drinking) was thankfully followed by one of the best decisions I could have made: retaining the law firm of Howard J. Weintraub. I received truly outstanding professional advice and support through a stressful and trying experience. When I ...had a question, communication was fast and detailed and Howard made it clear that he was always happy to discuss my case. I will also say that the entire staff at the firm were supportive and genuinely caring. They obviously fully understand the legal processes but also that you are a human being in the midst of a challenging situation. Howard's partner negotiated with the prosecutor and my potential DUI was reduced to a reckless driving charge. He also made sure that I had completed all the requirements in the plea as determined by the prosecutor ahead of the court date, so no probation. A DUI would have had a devastating professional and personal impact so this was a great outcome. Also worth noting that the judge actually asked in the courtroom if I realized that my attorney had worked out a great deal for me. Yes, I certainly did. Thank you, Howard!

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!

The Law Offices of Howard J. Weintraub Saved Me Twice!

“In 2007 I was arrested for DUI in Atlanta. I hired Howard Weintraub to represent me in my case. Without making any promises that my case would be won, Howard was able to have my DUI dismissed: no conviction, no jail, no fine, no loss of license. Howard did a phenomenal job defending me. Four yea...rs later I was arrested in Middle Georgia and charged with possessing drugs with the intent to distribute. Again, Howard and his associate, Ben Alper, came to my rescue. Again, without making any promises that my case would be won Howard and Ben were able to have my drug charges dismissed: no conviction, no jail, and no fine. Thanks to The Law Offices of Howard J. Weintraub, P.C. I do not have a criminal record and I have kept my freedom from being incarcerated. I highly recommend Howard Weintraub to anyone who needs a great criminal defense lawyer.”
