The Best.

Mr. Weekes was on vacation with his family when a serious legal problem arose for our family. Not only did he answer his phone and despite being away he assured us everything would be ok. He coordinated with his expert legal team, who then took care of everything until he got back. We owe him a debt ...of gratitude. A caring rarity in a profession that is usually more interested in your money.

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.

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.

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
