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.

AWESOME!

I had 4 felonies driving under the influence of prescription drugs and a misdemeanor! It took over a year to get sentenced. I was looking at a 2 + year prison term! When it was finally over Scott got me 90 days weekend jail! Which is a miracle and I am so grateful that Scott fought like hell for m...e!! I felt like he was caring and empathetic. I will be recommending him to anyone needing a great Attourney!

Results driven lawyer!!

I have witnessed Scott work his magic more times than I'd like to admit. He was my husband's lawyer for his DUI, and again for a recent marijuana possesion charger. Both times he prevailed with favorable outcomes. He was also my sisters DUI council, and again, she received an amazing outcome. A f...ew things 1. A lawyers job is to lessen the blow of your charge. They are not there to make it disaper. There are still consequences for your actions, Scott has gone above and beyond in convincing the prosecutor to give us grace. 2. In my experience with Scott, he is not one to sugar coat things. He tells you all possible outcomes, and generally doesn't assure you its going to be alright. He is very real, so don't expect him to hold your hand and tell you everything is going to be alright. He will get you results If at all possible. Reciprocity...are you kidding me?!?! That's some better call Saul s***. I don't know how he works his magic, but he's really good at it. He reduced both of my husband's recent charges, and got us the outcome we were hoping for. 3. Read about Scott. His track record is amazing. I would recommend him to anyone I know needing legal council. I hugged Scott last time I saw him. That's how happy I was with the results. I am forever grateful for the work he has done for us.

Great Attorney

Scott has represented me on three or four criminal cases over the past 5 years. He is that rare lawyer that has the ability to part the sea. No matter how deep I think I'm in Scott always has a plan and executes it to perfection time after time. He takes payment plans and works with his clients whene...ver possible. He isn't the cheapest but anyone dedicated to their legal situation can't afford to go with anybody less. I've had a few different attorneys before Scott and none of them have had the intelligence and know how to be nearly as effective as Mr. Weinberg. If your serious about your freedom U CANNOT AFFORD TO GO WITH ANYONE ELSE!! A close friend of mine has also used Scott for a variety of cases over a seven year period with spectacular results as well. I recommend Scott to anyone looking for competent, capable legal counsel.
