Great attorney

John Weekes has been my attorney for the last 5 years. He also represents some of my friends and family. He ALWAYS answers his phone and I have never had an issue with trying to reach him. He is incredibly responsible and always keeps me informed. If you are financially strained he will work with yo...u and allow you to make payments. Mr. Weekes dominates the courtroom and is an amazing defense attorney.

Best Atty In Broward

Thank you Mr. Weekes. John Weekes gave me my freedom back. I' have very high points in the court system from multiple felonies. I actually scored out to serve 5 years in a Florida prison. Thank God I hired this lawyer. From the minute he walked in the court room, he owned it and had everyone eating o...ut of his hands! I was told by my previous attorney that I'd probably have to do 3 years. John Weekes got everything thrown out because of a technicality! He amazing in the court room. I have referred him to two friends since and he wontheir cases. He was reasonably priced. Half of what my atty was going to charge. Thank u again Mr. Weekes for giving me my freedom back.

This man is the definition of DEFENSE

My name is Robin I am a 28 year old female who was charged with a very serious crime that could of cost me my freedom.After retaining Mr. Weekes I felt as if more of a burden has been lifted.Mr. Weekes contacted me personally to inform me of updates about my case,he was very supportive,confident,he m...ade me feel as if I had a chance to live again.My case went to trial.My life was going to be determined by a jury who either would believe the state attorney or my defense lawyer.Mr.Weekes. Trial lasted only one day.Mr. Weekes never missed a detail,always remained on point with EVERY SINGLE THING SAID AND DONE .. Retaining John Weekes allowed me to be found NOT GUILTY and I was able to walk out of the courtroom with my head held high knowing I was going home to my family.This man John Weekes,this lawyer,is a GOD he is an ANGEL he makes sure everything will be ok and he keeps his word.I've witnessed him in the courtroom,he was born to do this he was born to defend people.I will always consider Mr.Weekes my lawyer and I will recommend him to anyone and everyone.Defense lawyer, support system,confident,reasonable...John Weekes is the reason for my freedom.If I could thank him every single day..I would.

Wish I could get my money back!

While I must say that John is usually available and always answers the phone, I must say the positive aspect of working with him ends there. He charged me very high fees and I lost my case. My charges were not very serious and I had no prior record, it seemed when we went to court that he was unprepa...red and didn't try very hard to convince the judge of my innocence or ask for leniency. I have friends who have multiple arrests and have had their Attorneys charge them less and get them off, I wish I would have asked for a referral!!!

  • 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.
