Joshua Weiss Attorney

Joshua was very good at explaining the law and our options. The outcome of our court proceedings were better than we hoped. I would not hesitate to enlist Joshua's services again if I needed a good defense attorney.

Attorney Weiss is well versed in all facets of law and familiar with the court systems in Tennessee and Georgia. We found him to be responsive to our questions and quite knowledgeable in getting the best possible deal. Would highly recommend him.

charged with dui implied consent

After being charged in Meigs county sought the council of a lawyer in Tennessee area. Decided to try Joshua Weiss. Came into the free console where he outlined the laws and the strategy he was planning to use. Informed me of his flat rate fee for his services and he worked with me on the payment. We ...went to court 3 times with the first 2 being 2 month continuances. Meanwhile I stayed out of further trouble in my own life. Finally the 3rd time I got a great deal. Charges reduced to reckless driving with 6 months unsupervised probation and fines totaling 660. He said initially that the longer the case went on the better the outcome for me and he was proven right. The fact that I didn't have previous trouble may also have played into the decision. We didn't talk a whole lot in between court appearances but he did contact me before each date and go over the case and approach. In the end I didn't lose my license or suffer any of the Tennessee dui requirements. I would definitely recommend his services
