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.

Horrible Communication. Only looking to get your money

I got a DUI. It was non-extreme and there was no accident. I was pulled over for speeding and blew over a .08. I went to several lawyers seeking legal counsel. I went to Mark Weingart. He assured me that I had a solid case as I felt I was wrongly stopped. . Months leading up to the case, I was told b...y him that my case had a chance when going to trial. Communication was poor between the office and myself through out my representation.. I felt that I had to initiate everything to get things done and keep informed. Upon trial day, I was told by the lawyer that I didn't have a case and that I should plea guilty. This was a shock to me as I was told this from Day 1 through Day 120. All the facts remained the same, and now I have no chance of winning on the day of trial. I realized that there are some law firms like Weingart that are only looking to make money and simply tell you what you want to hear. Avoid this firm!

Replied last April 09, 2010

Unfortunately, I have no idea who this alleged former client is as there is no name attached. If we would have received a complaint like this, I would have personally resolved it. I pride myself in having the best staff in the profession and communication is of utmost concern. It is odd that I only hear of this on an anonymous negative comment board. I assure all of you that this review is not accurate. Unfortunately, when some people don't win, they blame the lawyer and abuse the internet with slander. Please note, I have never, and will never promise a victory as that is immoral and unethical. It also isn't right. I promise my best effort as I have given to over 20000 clients.
