Probation violation plus

I hired Scott Weinberg to handle a friend's case. She was arrested and had 3 charges in 2 counties. There was also a short amount of time before she was due in court. He was able to manage all of it and did so quickly with an excellent outcome for my friend. He has lots of experience and a good atti...tude.

Amazing Service! Highly Recommended!

I needed a lawyer at the last minute for a charge that I received while on vacation. I contacted 1800-lawyer and Mr Weinberg called me within minutes! He met me that night and put my mind at ease. I retained his services and he was amazing! He took care of everything and made sure that I had a g...reat outcome! I am forever grateful to him for what he did for me. I would highly recommend him if you need a great lawyer that cares about his clients! Thank you Scott, from the bottom of my heart!

Armed robbery charge

Scott Weinberg is very knowledgeable in Criminal law,he is very thorough and professional,and if he's not available he won't leave you hanging he will send a assistant Attorney who knows what they are doing as well.The cost was worth it the case went to trial,found not guilty. Great team Thanks again....

Straightforward, direct, and competent attorney saves local man's neck

Scott got a no-contact order lifted 16 hours after I met him, during our first meeting (I mistakenly sent him to the wrong place and he met me at the second meeting place, he was very understanding) during which he honestly and clearly evaluated my case (and likely scenarios) in plain english. He mad...e sure that I did everything necessary to get my domestic assault case dismissed, and went above and beyond my expectations of an attorney. His fees were reasonable and he gave his all. He was instrumental in keeping my family together throughout the process and answered any questions I had about my case promptly. The case ended within 3 weeks with a dismissal- after which he gave me applicable life advice. He really cares about his clients well-being even after his job is done. I'd recommend him to anyone I cared about, and have done so already.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
