Reassuring, Knowledgeable and Effective

Scott is a straight forward, tell it like it is, efficacious attorney. He responds in an extremely timely manner and is very knowledgeable about his profession. I’ve worked with several other attorneys in the past but there is no other attorney that worked as hard for me like Scott did.

Great results and great communication

I have worked with lawyers in the past who once they got paid would never respond. Scott was just the opposite. He always responded and took me step by step through what he was doing and why. He was very professional and resolved my case in a very timely manner. If You want a attorney who will wo...rk on your behalf and always keep you informed then Scott Weinberg is the right one. He earned my business and I highly recommend him

Domestic Violence

I recently used Scott for my domestic violence case and was very satisfied. Scott is very professional and caring to his client's. He explained and went through all the details and option's prior to and after my court date.

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.

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.
