OUTSTANDING LAWYER

Mr. Weart is an outstanding lawyer. So thankful, I was referred to Mr. Weart by my bail bondsman. From day one, he took on my DUI case. Explained the pros and cons of the situation and told me it was going to be hard, but I could do it. Even with the load of cases he had, I never once felt neglected.... If I didn't receive a call from him, I'd received a call from his wonderful wife. Needless to say, you get what you pay for, my DUI was reduced to reckless driving without alcohol. I saved $5,000 in fees, Mr. Weart you are the best.

DOWN TO EARTH/ GREAT HELP!

I received a DUI in October of 2015, I fell through the cracks in the courts for 6+ months. When I was finally put on docket court gave me a week and a half before my first appearance. I called Mr. Weart told him and he got right to work! Not only did he show up to multiple court appearances with me,... but he also worked with me financially! He is a very friendly, professional lawyer know knows his stuff! He got my DUI down to a RECKLESS and I even messed up and violated my probation, and they wanted to give me jail time... Well not only did I stay out of jail but 2 months later (after completing what was court ordered) he got me completely off of probation!! So I highly recommend Mr. Weart, he did a great job and the way he worked with me financially made me able to obtain a lawyer, otherwise I would've went in with a Public Defender.. no good there. So thank you so much Mr. Weart!! If your in the market get a free consultation you wont be disappointed!

Excellent criminal lawyer

I went to James Weart for a DUI charge. He came highly recommended by people I know. James told me what I needed to hear about my case as opposed to what I wanted to hear. He is very honest. As a result, the DUI charge got thrown out due to James challenging the State Attorney on the charge with hi...s legal knowledge converting it to a powerful force in the courtroom. The State Attorney backed off because James is a bulldog in the courtroom. I seriously believe that if I had a lawyer with a weak reputation, the State would have taken it to trial to try and convict me. James kept that from happening because they knew therr was a good chance that they were going to lose if it went to trial with James as my lawyer. He cares about his clients and has that drive to win. He is not the typical attorney that tells you he will fight for you and takes your money and then lays down on you and rolls over. James Weart is a stand up man. He has honor, dignity and respect. He is a true Spartan Lawyer. He will fight for you to win. He likes to win. That is a beautiful thing for a criminal lawyer to have as a primary drive force. His fees were fair and reasonable as well . Also, his staff is very good. Everytime I called I was able to talk with his assistant, Carlos, who is a great guy and very personable. All in all, James Weart is the best.. He is also on my Facebook. That's how much I recommend him. Cord....

Highly Recommended

Was arrested for DUI (BAL above 2.0) involving minor fender bender. Was facing serious consequences (30 days jail, upward $4,000 fines, vehicle impoundment, ignition device and five years license suspension) due to having a DUI five years ago. Upon contact James Weart and his team, I received them as... very professional and courteous. I felt at ease and confident leaving my case in their hands. James worked diligently on my case and was able to get field sobriety, BAL and police report suppressed from court. James was able to have charges amended from DUI to one count of leave scene without giving info. End result of paying only a fraction of original fines and driver improvement classes. I was extremely pleased with the outcome and would recommend him to anyone!!!

Thank you Mr. Weart!

After rear-ending a vehicle on my way back to the condo at a resort I was staying at in Orlando, FL, I was subsequently charged erroneously with driving under the influence. Upon calling Mr. Weart, he immediately made me feel comforted and secure that I would be properly represented. He and his offic...e handled everything from that point forward. One a hearing was set, and it was decided by the state that they would not dismiss, we went to trial. Mr. Weart handled the trial with professionalism and dedication. I was found NOT GUILTY and the case was dismissed by the state. THANK YOU Mr. James C. Weart for coming through when I needed you most. I would recommend Mr. Weart to anyone that needed a lawyer in Orange County, Florida or the surrounding areas!
