Salesman not a super Attorney

Hired scott for a case where zero proof of committing a crime was available. all prosecutors had was lyng lady ..should been easy case having 100% innocent person to represent with zero proof right?? wrong! num 1 scott is a salesman more than an attorney he took advantage of a person being vulnerabl...e ..told him he was too expensive he said don't worry you can make payments..whatever you can afford..you want the best and that's me..well all scott did was push a d pressure me to come up w a lump some of money or he would withdraw..put tremendous stress on a. already stressful and unfair situation. The best deal that was presented was a joke but scott again threatened to withdraw. Wonder what side he is even on..don't waste your time hiring g scott. he is no super lawyer but will be salesman to try and reel you in..don't fall for it..I went against my initial gut feeling about him and regret it.

Hire him

Hire him. No one wants to pay court fees but with Mr. Weinberg your money goes to a good man & you get what you pay for if not more. Prosecution wanted to loophole my case for higher fines & charges but Scott prevented that & provided me with a fair sentence. While I hope I won't need him again he'd ...be my first choice.

An absolutely impeccable attorney and person.

I acquired two OWI cases in two counties in a very short time. Mr. Weinberg's outstanding legal work and professional advice has resulted in a better, healthier life, the absolute minimum possible time spent in jail and an excellent coordination in events so I could maintain my employment.

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!

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.
