World Class Legal Representation

Mr. Weart lives up to his reputation as a top-notch defense attorney. He is respected and well-liked by his peers and colleagues, and for good reason. Mr. Weart put more time, effort, and careful thought into my defense than any of the attorneys who had worked on my case previously. His efforts pai...d off and I was blessed with the best possible outcome for my case. I appreciate Mr. Weart and am very grateful for his services.

The man to get things done

Not only did Mr Weart work my case hard and deliver on everything he promised, but he conducted himself in a very professional and kind way you don't often find in these times. My case was cleared and I was able to move on with my life. After everything was resolved he even helped me retrieve my pr...operty from the police department with no additional charges. I highly recommend his services.

Planet Earth life Saver

Mr. James C Weart is very competitive. He will only take a case where he knows he will get his way 100%. I had started with 3 accounts: R.I.C.O, Aiding and Betting for the proceeds of prostitution and Deriving support for the proceeds of prostitution. I was facing 20 plus years. When he introduced hi...mself to me I was very vulnerable, scared, and confused. Without me saying a word he knew that I was innocent. My childs father took advantage of my selflessness and naive-ness and used me to do illegal things. All because I was in-love, I was in a position that I never thought in a million years I would go through. Mr. Weart proclaimed his belief in me, told me about his background and gave me his two sense about how I had to open my eyes and see the scum bag (my child's father) for who he truly was; all before, to assure that I wanted an out because he wasn't going to waste time. Not like your typical lawyer that just wants to take your money. Today I stand free, proceeding a college education, a great mother and facing zero time- all 3 accounts dismissed. Mr. Weart is worth every second of every minute and every penny in every dollar spent. You will not regret him. (P.S don't waste his time) lol

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....

I have such deep appreciation for my experiences with Mr. Weart... I went to Mr. Weart for my grandson. It was a serious case but one that he could have been able to get resolved without too much problem but of course while he was presenting motions on my grandsons behalf I had to notify him that he... (grandson) had committed the same offense only worse in another county. This latest would have brought a 15 year sentence. Mr Weart through his hard work and persistence was able to get the cases combined and then get probation with license limitations for us. This should have been the end of his work for us but...After all his work was completed I contacted him again because the DMV would not honor the judges verdict for a BPO lic. He worked with the judge and prosecutor to assure that my grandson didn't lose his job for outdated verbiage and the DMV had to honor the decision. My grandson was able to comply and, importantly, to also keep his job. Mr Weart went above and beyond when someone else would have written my grandson off. He most certainly did more than he was paid for. He actually declined any payment for the extra work put on him and his office. I love this man and his assistants for making a devastating experience bearable and keeping it positive.
