Made every possible effort and SUCCESSFULLY DEFENDED ME... Amazing service and top performance.

Counselor Weart is the person to handle your criminal defense, in my opinion. In my case he was extremely thorough in reviewing the facts with me at lengthy interview. He then took the time to file every possible motion to exclude improper evidence, and he won at the hearing. The result was a mass...ive reduction in conviction from a possible DUI down to merely a reckless conviction, despite the fact that there had been an accident! And although I did not consent to the breathalyzer, Counselor Weart made multiple visits to the traffic services courts, and he WON, so that I had no loss of license, ever, not even for a single hour. I was amazed at the amount of time Counselor Weart put in, from gathering every single piece of the prosecution's evidence, picking through that evidence, and making the appropriate motions for exclusion and dismissal. Counselor Weart went so far as to request, receive, and present arguments at a hearing for exclusion of that evidence -- and he WON almost everything -- probably 90 percent of the evidence was excluded. After that, the prosecution was only too happy to reduce the type of conviction they wanted. In the end, even though I never blew the breathalyzer, and I had been involved in an accident where I was charged with being intoxicated, I ended up with a mere traffic offense, and NO points placed on my license, and never, for even 1 hour, having lost my driving privileges. Mine was not an easy case, and Counselor Weart did one heck of a job. I've had attorneys before for other things, but never one as dedicated, or successful, as Jim Weart. I hope he reads this and knows of my thanks!
