He is a 10 Star lawyer….. has and does what it takes!

Johnny is an awesome attorney. You can count on him to do the very best for you. He did for me and I cannot thank him enough. I have no idea why his rating on Avvo isn't a perfect 10. However, Avvo rates on peer reviews not clients. Perhaps it is because his peers don't like loosing to him? He had an... excellent relationship with the judge in my case and got me Off and OUT of a horrible situation. He is an excellent attorney!

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.

Best of Broward

Johnny Weekes is one of the best criminal defense lawyers in Broward County. He knows the judges and is well respected. He can stand up to a judge and fight or negotiate! His pricing is reasonable and the results in my case were beyond my expectations. He kept me informed through all of the proceedi...ngs. I can’t thank him enough. I highly recommend him for anyone who is involved in a criminal matter.

Highly recommend attorney

John Weekes was able to almost immediately get me a bond on two felony VOP 'S (one case was dealing in stolen property the second was burglary of a structure and also dealing in stolen property) I picked up two new charges hints the violations , (another burglary and grand theft). I was facing 52 mo...nths on my violations with DNA blood against me , John was able to get both VOP's dismissed at my final VOP hearing. For the new charges he got me 9 months with credit and 18 months of probation with early termination. He also saved me almost $3000 for the DNA test . This guy is definitely a professional and confidant . Works with you on payments and is easily available for communication inside and outside of jail.

Look no further....

I have used Mr. Weekes for a variety of cases since 2008 till now. The first time we sat down in 2008 for a consultation, I knew I was in good hands. John has always made me feel like, even in the craziest of my legal storms, that everything was going to be ok. I could always rely on him to call me ...back, text me back when ever I had questions, concerns or just to even check in on what the current status was of my case. Nonetheless, legal matters can be vey expensive and John has always been understanding about payment plans. (which is usually unheard with an attorney). I have never used another attorney before and I never will (well lets hope I dont need anymore legal services, Johnny!) but, John has always went 1000% in for me. He has always believed in my cases and the fight that ensued with a couple of them. ( He and I both know Im not the easiest of clients to deal with at times, but he stood by me). I thank John for always giving me the story straight, no BS, no sugar coating and guiding me through the "justice" system. My life, my name and my reputation has been saved thanks to the hard work of Mr. Weekes and his legal assistant Joselyn. No words I could ever pen could show the gratitude I have in my heart and soul for the efforts made in and outside the court room. If you are in need of an attorney that will "have your back" and fight like pit bull, look no further. You've found the right man for the job.
