Best Lawyer in South Florida

I called Johnny on a recommendation for a friend and he helped him out. He did an incredible job. He knows the true meaning of client defense, customer service, a true professional; with an obvious passion for defending his clients. Thank you Johnny

SIMPLY THE BEST!

Been through family drama after taking care of my disabled father who is surrounded by individuals who tried to take advantage of a disabled elderly man. MR Weekes stood up for my honor and defended my honor and stood by my side for over a decade. Despite financial difficulties he always understood a...nd gave me time to make payments toward my legal defense bills owed to him. If you choose him to defend you... my only advice is to believe in him 100% thanks again Johnny.

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.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
