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.

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...

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.

Mr.Weekes has renewed my faith in lawyers again!

I retained john weekes for my husband who was incercerated due to the neglect of another lawyer following through with a case. when I called mr.weekes I was very skeptical n scared he gave me a very good price for his services n once I retained him there was not one time that he didn't pick up phone ...for me even at 7:00am on a Saturday he kept me informed through the whole process he was always early to court and his secretary Jocelyn is the sweetest they made me feel so much better always stayed honest with outcomes of the case never gave me false dreams which I so appreciated .mr.weekes cleared my husband's case which has helped our family so much I am forever thankful.after such bad a bad experience with a bad lawyer Mr.weekes renewed my faith in lawyers again he went above n beyond for my family n for that ill forever be grateful and to see him in action in the courtroom he is truly in his element awesome laywer words cant explain how impressed I am with him and very thankful I was referred to him and I would refer anybody to him you will not be let down.

The Best.

Mr. Weekes was on vacation with his family when a serious legal problem arose for our family. Not only did he answer his phone and despite being away he assured us everything would be ok. He coordinated with his expert legal team, who then took care of everything until he got back. We owe him a debt ...of gratitude. A caring rarity in a profession that is usually more interested in your money.
