An Awesome Attorney With Compassion

John Weekes helped my nephew legally and went above and beyond to help him get counseling for substance abuse. My nephew has recovered and is now enrolled in college and working part time. Johnny was so compassionate with our family and we are forever grateful.

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.

500 Star ⭐ Attorney!!

Okay, if I could've given a higher star rating, I would've! My family has hired Mr. Weekes numerous times ( I'm a bit incorrigible lol) for me, since like mid 2000's, and he is honestly THE BEST! He is super knowledgeable, reasonably affordable, with a great paralegal and an even better reputation.... John Weekes has miraculously gotten me out of more legal binds than I can count. He has an awesome rapport with numerous Judges and state attorney's. It's like as soon as he steps into the courtroom, I know for a fact that I will be okay. I honestly owe him my freedom today. There's no case too big for him to crush. So, if you're still looking for a defense attorney... You just found him. ... Youll thank me later.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
