John Weekes, what can I say Simple the Best Criminal defense in Miami he listens well and presents your case in the Best possible way and his Results are unbelievable, got Charged with Bulk Cash Smuggling this was all new to John but he did his research and got me the a great sentence under t...he Guidelines, he was communicative throughout the entire time and visited me every week, he's reasonably Priced but Most Importantly gets great results.

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!

Excellent lawyer

John Weekes is a great attorney. I hired him to represent me for an initial trafficking case which carries a 3year minimum prison sentence. The charges filed ended up being reduced and he negotiated with the state and got me probation, no jail time. Mr. Weekes is smart, kind, compassionate, and when ...he walks into the court room his presence takes over. I would def recommend him.

BEST LAWYER EVER!!

I was out on 2 felony bonds when I went to my status hearing 30 day's later the judge revoked it .. My wife was calling every lawyer in Ft Lauderdale then a good friend referred her to Johnnie Weekes so she called him for a consultation he answered every question got me right into court never held an...ything back from the date I went to my first court date I was out a week later and the state wanted me to go to prison but Johnnie makes amazing things happen I would recommend him to anyone he's by far the best attorney I've ever come across.... Thank you for everything Johnnie I'm so grateful to be out with my friends and family!!!

Outstanding lawyer

I had a violation of probation the state was offering 9 months I had a different lawyer who suggested I just take the time the state was offering. then I heard about Johnny weeks so my husband called him and said that he needed a guarantee on getting me out before he would give him any money. and he ...replied so that is what I do. and he wasn't kidding within one week from the phone call me to Johnny weeks I was back home with my family. when he walked into the courtroom I felt as if people got out of his way he was amazing. I would recommend Johnny weeks to anybody facing a criminal charge there wasn't one time that my family couldn't call him and he would answer the phone he gave my family confidence. truly will forever be grateful to Johnny week's. He was amazing and he got me reinstated.phenomenal lawyer
