Johnny saved my life! The BEST attorney, hands down!

Johnny is by far the BEST criminal attorney! I was facing an endictment on some very serious charges in a federal case. From day one, he took the time to hear everything in full detail, immediately contacted the prosecutors, answered my calls during days, nights, weekends, ANYTIME! He kept me well in...formed about everything along the way and always gave me advice, while also remaining empathetic, and that means a lot! He's also very professional and has a great relationship with all the right people In the end, not only were all charges dropped, but the prosecutors also told me I had an excellent attorney who is very knowledgable. He was truly a savior and I will never use anyone else. I will recommend him to everyone I know. He deserves an 11 on a scale of 1-10. Thank you Johnny! I am forever grateful!

Great Service

I had an emergency come up over a weekend, in which I needed advice and reassurance ASAP. Mr. Weekes returned my call very quickly, taking time from his weekend to address my concerns. He told me exactly what may or may not happen, and what to do in the event that the worst case scenario played out. ...I would/will hire him in a second if I ever need him!

A Great Defense Attorney

John Weekes is a Master in Alternative Sentencing. His competancy goes far beyond his understanding of the law, he understands the court system and glides through it with confidence and poise. I used John last year and I would use him again. I have also recommended other clients who reported being th...oroughly satisfied.

MR. WEEKES GOT ME OUT OF JAIL AND KEPT ME OUT!!!

I got into trouble in broward county back in 08. I was arrested and my bond was 1,000,000. A very severe charge(trafficking). It was my first time being arrested. There was no way I could afford to bail myself out. And every attorney I called wanted 20,000. I hired a public defender and she told me m...y charges were very serious and I was definitely looking at prison time and she told me about attorney Mr. John Weekes. She told me he charged a fraction of what other lawyers charge, he will get you out of jail and keep you out. He came to see me that day. Couldn't believe he came within an hour.. He answered every time I called while I was in jail, it goes right to his cell phone. He told me he could get my bond reduced. He did, to 75,000. I was definitely looking at prison time but John Weekes got me 5 yrs probation. I have since violated my probation 5x . Mr.Weekes has represented me at every hearing. I have alot of points and technically I'm suppose to go to prison because broward cty uses a point system. Mr. Weekes has kept me out of jail. I've just had probation reinstated, no time added! I just recently had court date for early termination of probation. John Weekes got my probation terminated early. even with so many violations. Mr. Weekes dominates the court room. I tell everyone that needs a lawyer about him. I've run into so many people that have used him and they can't thank me enough. I feel confident when I recommend Mr. Weekes. He is professional, available on his cell phone, his office staff are wonderful as well. Mr. John Weekes is amazing, he has answered every call, saved me a ton of money and done exactly what he said he would do. He's kept Mr out of prison. Thank you Mr.Weekes for my freedom. Someone on this site referred to him as a god. I second that! The best lawyer, hands down...
