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.

Getting IT Done

Mr. Weart helped my son get a felony into a misdemeanor. He doesn't give up. He knows the law and it helps that he's worked at the court house for years. He gets things done fast! Plus he's not a rip off. He returns calls and loves helping people. He's the man you need.

Real as they come, 100 !

Everyone was saying " man, you're thru ! " but not Mr Weart...from the start he made me feel as if he believed in my innocence and would do ALL he could to reveal my truth ! Once he heard my story he immediatly went to work and told me to just go and live my life and worry not...I've been to prison ...2 times and thought " well innocent or not , here I go again " I was facing at least 40 years if convicted at best and life at worst...either way it wasn't looking good ! Enter James Weart ! From jump he treated me as a man , not as a convicted felon and definitely not as a doomed individual. He is calm , cool and down to earth . James introduced me to the real world of criminal defense at it's best ! Defense lawyers are supposed to defend and thats exactly what he did ! My case never even made it to pretrial ! He attaccked the case from a expierienced 40 year aggresive standpoint that left no room for arguement...literally...We had 1 , (yes 1) hearing for a motion to dismiss information based on a statue of limitations rule. Mr Weart prepared and presented the motion in such a precise , detailed and impressive way that even the states attorney didn't have any objections to the motion and within 5 minutes a 11 year nightmare was finally over ! Motion granted and case nolle processed ! Finito. And for the 1st time in my life of crime i want nothing else to do with it, not because I won the case but because Mr Weart showed me that the legal world isn't full of people full of game, that there are people who are in this business to help people have 2nd and even 3rd chances to get it together ! James did his job and now it's my time to do mine...legally. Thank you James Weart for being a mans man and representing me with integrity and honor. My life is mine to make now and that's exactly what I plan to do ...Live and let live. God is great , beer is good and James Weart is , real as they come !

one badass lawyer

I was going through a horrible time in my life. My girlfriend who I was very much in love with had broken up with me. I lost it and started back using drugs. I got arrested four times in two weeks. Mr. Weart handled my first three cases which were relatively minor, very well. However, the fourth... case was very serious and the state was trying to send me to prison for 4 years. Every other lawyer I spoke with about the case said your going to prison because the case is nearly impossible to beat. Mr. Weat took the case to a two day jury trial and after a very difficult trial the jury came back with a not guilty verdict. He was the first lawyer in Seminole County to get a not guilty on this type of sexually related charge. I would be sitting in prison today if I had hired another lawyer.

Mr. Weart is the man!!! Very grateful for his "Great" service!!!

Mr. Weart was highly recommended to me by very respectful people of the community! Right from the beginning, Mr. Weart reviewed my case, which had me stressing, that I would face "two" felony charges. After the review, he said that his goal was two reduce the felonies to a misdemeanor 2, (which is ...the lowest affense you can receive). Mr. Weart stayed true to his word and got my felonies reduced to a misdemeanor 2. I broke out into tears because, if I faced felony charges, my career would have been "over!!!" I expressed my gratitude to this man because he saved my life!!! I "highly" recommend him!!! Mr. Weart's staff were completely professional and respectful! "Never" did they treat me bad or made false promises!!! As far as the client that made the "horrific" review.....Well, Mr. Weart worked around the clock, staying late to meet my schedule, to update me on my case and even works holidays!!! We all make mistakes and we are all human....Mr. Weart recognizes that and puts his heart into your case and helps you repair your life, regardless of the situation.....He is also human and goes up and beyond to save your butt!!! Anywho, overall, I thank you so much, Mr. Weart!!! You and your staff are truly "gems!" Because of Mr. Weart and his staff, I'm able to put this nightmare behind me! I will spread the word of his "great" service! Thank you, again!!!
