Saving Grace

Joshua was a game changer for us. He worked diligently and did not stop until he got action. We were given the run around multiple times by the system, but he and Rachel kept us informed and worked through each set back we had. I would highly recommend him and I know without a doubt if he hadn't been... fighting for us, my brother would have been lost in the system eternally.

Compassionate, And understanding

When I needed an attonery and also a compassionate friend, Joshua was all that. I was afraid, he and Kayla,encouraged me. This was a unusual case, but Joshua wired tirelessly to not only be a friend but worked a miracle and had my case not only dismissed. But, I did have any court cost, no time ser...ved and Most of all got my record expunged of all charges. I can't thank him enough for trying to be both a friend with compassion and,understanding. This fine young Attorney saved my future but also my sanity . I'm not always east to work with....but he managed with grace and brillance. I will alway be thankful . I recommend Mr Weiss with all my heart and appreciation. My Sincere Thanks and appreciation. Carol S. Newsome

Best attorney in Chattanooga

I had multiple charges that were all bogus and I had been charged illegally by the officers involved in two separate cases. He was the only lawyer that actually believed me and believed in me. He instantly put me on the top of his priority list and was always available when I needed to talk or when I... wanted some reassurance. Not only did he get some very serious charges dropped to some traffic tickets but he also only charged me less then half of what the other "big shots" in Chattanooga thought they were worth. He fought for me on my case for well over a year and I can say I consider him not only good a lawyer but a good friend by the end of the ordeal. I would and have recommended him to every person looking for representation in Chattanooga. He is worth every penny I spent and then some. Don't bother looking anywhere else he is the best you will find hands down.

excellent lawyer, easy to talk to, gets the job done well

my fiance had gotten himself into several legal issues, none of which were violent or any such nature, but which could have easily cost him a bit of his freedom but Mr. Weiss did an outstanding job of representing him and keeping him out from behind bars where he probably would have just continued to... spiral downward. He was extremly easy to speak with making you so comfortable you feel as though you have known him for an extreme amount of time. He was extremly impressive watching him work in the court room during trial periods. The only regret we have is that we did not know about him sooner. I would recommend this guy to anyone with any legal issues, I do not believe will can find a better attorney in this area, he is excellent in every manner you need him in and I do mean that word for word. I am so greatful for his outstanding work and abilities as an attorney!

Best ever

He kept me well informed and was very confident. He was honest with me the entire time and made me aware of best and worst case scenario. My only complaint was that I never received my final documents but that could have been poor communication on both out ends.

  • 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.
