Down creek with no paddle

Nothing I write would be able to explain the immense amount of gratitude I owe John Alfred Weekes. To anyone seeking out an attorney- this is the best attorney I have ever encountered (and I've encountered quite a few). Every aspect of his performance throughout the entirety of my cases(yep, plur...al), has been impeccable. I was able to contact him regarding my questions or just plain stupid thoughts on the case at all hours/days of the week without an issue. He also got me out of a life ruining situation, when other attorneys had refused to even take my case. I am living a life right now that I completely without a doubt owe to him.

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.

If you looking for a lawyer in Broward this is you man!

I highly recommend this lawyer. He was very informative as to my situation with my case and was available everytime that I called. He worked very quickly to get me into court for my motion. My motion was granted and my judge said that it was partly because and I quote " you have a great lawyer!" For ...me that just sealed the deal! I knew I made the right decision in hiring him and would never go to anyone else if I'm in need of legal representation!

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.
