Incredible performance

I highly recommend. THE LAW OFFICE OF CHET Weinbaum for anyone going through a divorce in Florida. They handled my case with extreme professionalism and diligence. Communication was always prompt and clear, making a stressful process much easier to manage. I felt supported and well-represented from ...start to finish. Thank you and your staff for the great work.

Amazingly awful performance

I hired this lawyer for a criminal case after I was arrested with no warning at a beach by a rogue and careless sheriff’s deputy because someone told his colleague that I "might have committed" a crime-at a different location, and on a different day.NO crime occurred!The officer asked me nothing.The ...lack of an investigation and professionalism by the deputy aside, the indisputable facts are that this attorney: failed to call in a key deputy witness, a no brainer witness, who would have cleared me immediately with his testimony. This attorney failed to realize, and use to our advantage, the fact that I was charged under the wrong statute for what I was accused of in the careless rush to arrest me. He took my money to depose the alleged victim and then suddenly changed his mind about doing this deposition after getting my money, offering no reason or refund. He also kept from me other key witness depositions transcripts of detectives (who stated under oath that they had no idea if a crime even ever happened ) kept these from me for me for months despite my desperate attempts to get this from him.He failed to use this testimony which all lawyers told me should have killed the case. He conducted the briefest of depositions, failing to ask key questions of the arresting officer.He failed to turn over to prosecutors hard evidence that my private investigators established in support of my innocence.He stayed silent last minute at a crucial hearing after being paid to make a critical argument and never explained to me his silence! All this is incredulous and factual and can be proven and shows a lawyer who wanted my money and see me fail for whatever reason or was over his head as a family lawyer who should never have taken this case! Always check a professional's references and testimonials before hiring them. I sure wish I had.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
