Drug problems? Call Jim

I have had drug issues for many years. Mr Weick not only helped me through my current problem, but also gave me very helpful advise for the future. I felt very comfortable with him representing me.

Criminal defense lawyer | Jun 29

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Jim Weick has the knowledge and court experience that most of us only see in works of fiction. He is the type of lawyer that you read about in a suspense novel that begins with a heinous crime and ends in a courtroom. While most of us routinely defend clients who are facing only years in prison, Jim's clients are consistently threatened with life sentences by prosecutors due to the severity of the crime for which they are charged. When it comes to litigating modern scientific/forensic evidence gathering techniques, few are aware that Jim is often called upon by the best and brightest criminal defense attorneys in South Florida to offer his expert opinion with respect to DNA testing as it pertains to exonerating or convicting an accused. He has been declared an expert in this area of practice by one of our local judges. - Nice"

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
