Posted by Bridget | May 11, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

He got all 4 of my charges dropped and got me off probation!

Johnny was the absolute best at handling my Domestic Violence case. My ex-boyfriend managed to get me arrested July 2017 by calling the cops and making a false report that I scratched him on his chest. Once i was released from jail on bond, my ex made 3 other police reports claiming I was making cont...act with him. When it came to my sentencing October 2017, I was stuck with 4 pending charges, 1 for Domestic Violence and 3 for Violating Pretrial Release. I provided my Public Defender with the evidence to prove my ex has lied. The Public Defender told me even with all my evidence the judge could still decide to put me in Jail for a year so my best option would be to take a "No Contest" plea which would keep me out of jail, but put me on 12 months probation and 6 months anger management instead. I was extremely upset with this because I know I did nothing wrong and no one would listen. So I took the Plea. January I was referred to Johnny to help me with my case, I spoke with him and decided to hire him. Even though I was past the time given to appeal my case, Johnny was able to get the Judge to listen and agree to look at the new evidence I had to provide. FINALLY May 10th 2018, Johnny succeeded in getting ALL my charges as well as probation COMPLETELY VACATED!! I am more than satisfied with what Johnny was able to do for me. For 7 months I struggled with severe anxiety having to deal with a crime I never even committed, not having anyone listen to me. I would use Johnny again and again and again. I recommend him to everyone of you going through any type of criminal issues. He is fantastic! Thank you so much Johnny.

Best Experience

John Weekes Is The Best. He Did His Best To Get My First Criminal Charge Thrown Out. You Tell Him What You Want And He Does The Best To Get Things Accomplished. I Really Appreciate All The Support From Him. One Of The Most Loyal, Layed Back And Funniest Attorney You Could Have Represent You. Thanks J...ohn For All Your Supoort.

He's the Greatest.

My fiancé was taken into custody on a warrant in December of 2016 with 11 felony charges. I hired one lawyer who didn't get anything accomplished between December and March in which the time we hired John Weeks and he was nothing but professional and stuck to everything he said he would do. John We...eks got 8 of my husbands felonies dropped and him released all within the same day. If I ever get in trouble or need a lawyer in the future I will definitely re use Mr. Weeks services very professional!!!

Excellent Lawyer

John Weekes is a blessing ! My first criminal defense lawyer I've ever hired. The professionalism and sense of urgency Mr. Weekes displays makes you feel comfortable. He's humanistic, has a sense of humor, also has an excellent reputation around the court room. Appearance is key and my attorney is ...keen! Represents for his clients proudly and reassures you every step of the way. Excellent team Mr. Weekes and his secretary work together to find the best resolution for you. I was recommended and I would pass his number on to a friend. My issues were resolved in 48hrs doesn't get any better than that!
