Sheldon Weisfeld

I Hired Sheldon Weisfeld as my attorney. He was able to get my sentenced reduced drastically whilst communicating well with my family and I. He is very straightforward with his clients which I really appreciated. He was easily accessible to contact him when ever necessary. If you have an ambitious ca...se then I'd highly recommend having him represent you.

Dwi 2nd

Sheldon Weisfield exceded all expectations. On the cusp of receiving a dwi 2nd and receiving jail time and probation Sheldon was able to work out a deal with the prosecutor to reduce the Dwi to a first offense with just a fine. No jail no nothing. I would definitely refer this man to anyone.

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.
