Great Lawyer and a wonderful person

Our son was arrested by the Atlanta PD one evening in August 2019. I got a call at home at 1 am from the University Dean telling me he was in the Fulton County jail and had been charged with a felony. My son's entire future, reputation and education was at stake and we had no details of the events... that led up to his arrest. After searching online for the best defense attorney I could find, I contacted Mr Weintraub at 7 am the following morning and he immediately went into action. He was able to get my son released the following day on a signature bond so that he would not miss any more classes. Over the next several weeks, Mr Weintraub and his fantastic private investigator gathered exculpatory evidence, interviewed witnesses and expertly navigated the case through the court system. Before the end of the year he was able to have the case entirely dismissed. I have no hesitation in recommending Howard Weintraub as a criminal defense attorney and cannot imagine what might have happened to our son if I had not made the call.

Not Guilty DUI Jury Trial!!! Thankful Thankful Thankful!!!

Howard made me feel completely at ease from the moment he answered my call. I had left messages with other attorneys who were in the area where I was arrested and received no call backs, so I expanded the search to Atlanta. I am so glad I did!! Howard answered the phone himself when I called his offi...ces. I had reservations with his office being in a different county, thinking you needed an attorney who "knew" the prosecution closely. Howard squashed all that and I am so thankful. His offices were 100% available to me the entire case. He laid out the entire process and communicated every decision clearly. I felt extremely comfortable the whole time. We fought a frivolous DUI charge in a jury trial and won. Words really can't express how grateful I am to Howard and Ben!!

A Great Attorney That Fights For You!

This was my first time being in legal trouble and I wanted someone with experience in white collar crime. I didn't know what to expect and my nerves were all over the place. From the day I met Howard, he provided me with a very clear overview of what to expect and our plan of action. He provided me ...with guidance on how to prevent further damage. From our initial consultation, I could tell he was very knowledgeable about the law pertaining to my situation and knew which steps were best to get through the process with limited damage. Because of his continued communication, my mind was put at ease to the best of its ability considering the circumstances. Howard continuously maintained his professionalism, but also displayed a sense of care. This helped to confirm for me that I wasn't just another check for him. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone needing legal assistance.

A Light in the Darkness

No one appreciates light more than someone surrounded by darkness. The criminal justice system is a dark room whose floor is filled with black holes that no one wants to fall into because once you do there is no way out. You need a light to navigate the room. For my family, Howard was that light.... In September of this year, I saw a great attorney who walked with us through a tremendous amount of darkness and shined spectacularly when the darkness was at its worst. There was not a lot I could give him, so I gave him the best that I had, a piece of my heart. He will always have that.

I have 150 reviews on AVVO, with 147 being perfect five star assessments. Of the remaining three reviews, two negative comments have been posted by this client, with the first in January, 2016 and the second being the above comment posted six days ago. (The third comment was posted in November, 2014 by an individual who never became a client and with whom I spoke for less than ten minutes) I am sorry that this client continues to be dissatisfied over the fee amount that both she and her husband paid for my services. However, this client and her husband both signed a detailed contract with my firm at the commencement of our attorney/client relationship, which clearly set forth the fee arrangement in their case and the scope of their representation by me. Since July, 2015, I have had correspondence with this client on different occasions wherein I explained to her that the fee paid to me was fully, honestly, and genuinely earned by me. As I am with all of my clients, I have been 150% above board with this client and her husband, and I have kept hourly/daily records of my time regarding my representation of them. I will continue to communicate with this client in an effort to attempt to resolve her concerns. If, however, she remains dissatisfied with the fee that she and her husband paid to me pursuant to their contract with me, resolution of this issue should be sought by this client in the judicial forum, as in my opinion, AVVO is not the appropriate medium within which to try to resolve this issue.
