Terribile Lawyer

I hired john almost 6 months ago. i have worked with other lawyers, and he wasnt very professional. Not only was he not professional, he charged a lot of money, and didnt do anything. He never returned phone calls, leaving me by myself in court. He basically ripped me off. I eventually had to hire an...other attorney, who was much better. I am going to try and get my money back from John. I would never recommend this attorney.

Worst attorney

Been recommended to him was the biggest mistake ever. when i went to his office, he assured me he was going to solve the case for obvious reasons ( there was no proof against me). He charged me a high amount of money reassuring he was going to win the case. since it was necessary for him appear in co...urt multiple times , around the sixth time he asked me for double the amount of money he asked originally. He tried to get more money from me breaking our original agreement. Since I couldn't pay him more, he abandoned the case and sent someone else to represent him. He ruined my life because I was declared guilty and now I can't even find a job because of this. Therefore, if you happen to hear about John Weekes and need and attorney, look for someone else. This is not a serious and reliable person. I wouldn't recommend this attorney to nobody

By Far The Best Attorney...

John Weekes is by far the most proficient lawyer in Broward County. He will get you out of jail and keep you out. He is reliable, confident, personable, honest and professional. I have recommended him over and over again. If your looking for a lawyer that will answer your calls and WIN your case and ...not charge you a small fortune, I cant say it enough. John Weekes is by far the BEST criminal attorney in Broward County.

Fair, Focused, Effective and AVAILABLE!

Atty. Weekes is knowledgeable in an incredibly diverse amount/field of law. And to boot, he runs a bust practice, one in which he is able to utilize his proficiency and therefore his clients (including myself) receive the benefit. Fair and flexible pricing, a supportive office staff, the ability to c...all his cell phone any time (and he picks right up) and the confidence that comes from having retained one of the winningest attorneys in South Florida all make for a dynamic team who work hard for you. Thank you Weekes Law!
