Mark is very professional. The law should be black and white. When there is something in the gray area, Mark is very prepared. He recited previous cases to the judge in which I was acquitted.

Super Extreme DUI - Dismissed

I was charged with a super extreme DUI. With AZ having one of the harshest penalties in the US and considering I was facing jail time and a very large fine, I contacted Mark regarding my situation. He handled my case ethically and professionally. I appreciate he never once sugar coated anything and w...as very up front about all aspects of my case. A real straight shooter. My situation was unique but the bottom line is he represented me very well and my case was ultimately dismissed.

BAC .296 DUI Dismissed

Mark and his staff did a wonderful job of not only ensuring me of an amicable outcome to my case should the worst case scenario arise... but eventually they were able to present me with the best possible outcome I could have hoped for - dismissal. I was up against a super-extreme DUI and looking a...t some jail time together with a whole lot of my personal freedom and a whole lot of my money gone; I had prepared to pay for my mistakes. Mark and his staff, although distant at times, were obviously just busy working hard for their clients. I spoke to them only when necessary which made me feel nervous and in the dark at times but now I see that's to be expected with your future in limbo and at the mercy of persons, mostly unknown. It took time to convince myself the case was no longer in my hand's and that I had to put my trust in Mark and let everything unfold. Mark and his staff worked diligently to provide me with the best possible defense and at the end of the day I walked away from the whole situation without my license for three months - that's my punishment. I also payed a lawyer fee which I would have paid twice over had I known what I know now. I would highly recommend Mark and his staff. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone in the area facing a DUI or in need of other criminal defense. Put your trust in Mark - he's an expert and a professional. Thanks again for all your help Mark.

Assault and Disorderly Conduct charges dropped!

I was facing assault and disorderly conduct charges and could not face having these charges on my record. I found Mark while searching online for reputable lawyers in Tempe. I was very happy to have Mark Weingart as my attorney. I felt better the minute I sat down with him. After a few months of inte...rviews, he fought to have my assault charged dropped completely and negotiated to have my disorderly conduct charged dropped after a diversion course. I was very happy with the outcome and would recommend Mark to anyone. Hopefully I never have to be in this situation again, but now I know who to call.

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.
