Simply the best!

John is extremely knowledgeable and approachable. He answers his cell at all times no matter how big or small the issue. He is a straight shooter and will keep you in the loop with all needed information. He has gone above and beyond for me and I am extremely grateful for his services.

AMAZING

There's no amount of words that can express the incredible work Mr. Weekes has done representing my son's case. He answered every phone call (even on the weekends). Very knowledgeable in the court system. Mr. John Weekes is the person to call when u need a top defense attorney.

GREAT lawyer! Answered every phone call.... even on Vacation!

I was lucky enough to obtain Mr. Weekes as my lawyer d/t word of mouth; which is why I'm writing this review. From our first conversation, I felt comfortable talking to him and his knowledge of law was evident. I explained my case, and he told me straight facts and obtainable outcomes. (some lawy...ers will tell you whatever you want to hear so you hire them). I retained him as my lawyer for a misdemeanor case; yet he still answered every phone call of mine-even when he was on vacation. He never made me feel that I wasn't 'worth his time'; as he treats all his clients with the same respect. When I was in court with him he was quick and efficient, and I could tell the respect other lawyers gave him. I had worked with one other lawyer in the past and working with Mr. Weekes was a night/day difference. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Weekes, you'll be doing yourself a favor. As stated before he is a straight shooter; he tells you the facts- then gets things done. Also everyone working in his office is extremely nice and helpful; they will go above and beyond to help accommodate you. Long story short: Mr. Weekes was there for me, I felt 100% confident with him, and when my case closed it closed in my favor. It was truly a pleasure to work with him.

One of the best

John Weekes without a doubt is one of the best criminal defense lawyers in Broward County. His pricing is reasonable and the results in my case were fantastic. He kept me informed through all of the proceedings and his legal assistant Jocelyn is a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend hi...m for anyone who is involved in a criminal matter.

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.
