Respectfully referred to as the "Godfather" of DUI defense because of my vast experience and tens of thousands of former clients, I have enjoyed great success and pride in my representation of thase wrongfully accused. I graduated from the University of Akron School of Law in 1976. Assistant Columbiana County Prosecutor 1976-1979. Municipal Court Judge, City of Tempe Arizona 1979-1981 full time. 1982-1985, part time. Assistant Arizona Attorney General 1981-1985. Private practice since. Certified Criminal Law Specialist since 1994 to the rated A-V and peer reviewed rated. This is the absolute best national rating attainable. Founding member, National College for DUI Defense, Harvard University. Represented over 25,000 clients. More than 200 jury trials, alone. When you come in for a no pressure, free initial consultation, you will talk to me, not some high pressured assistant or attorney who will never handle your case again and pass you off to another associate whom you have never met! My representation is very affordable, with financing options. Not a discount type firm. I will earn your trust and your fee.

Mark Weingart is a Con
I was brought up on charges of Domestic Violence but was never arrested. My wife and I talked to Mr. Weingart who advised us that the Town of Gilbert had no case and it would be an easy win. He charged me $3500 and said that is the cost sometimes, and because the Town of Gilbert are all cons and are...
This client has been on a smear campaign ever since we got his case DISMISSED. It is all about money. He never paid the agreed upon fee. We got the prosecutor to deviate from policy and dimiss the case in exchange for his agreement to take a few "anger managment" classes. This insured him of no criminal record and protected his job. It also saved him time and money (which he never paid) as the case was DISMISSED rather than going to trial. As far as the tardiness of an attorney to Court, sometimes this happens as we are in many courts every day and if one appearance runs long, clients have to wait. This client became very hostile and filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau and the State Bar in an apparent attempt to avoid paying the firm. Both were summarily DISMISSED. Unfortunately, he decided that a "smear campaign" was his last resort and so I have no power to stop him except to clarify and tell the truth. Out of 20000+ cases, this has only happened a few times. It is unfortunate that he has unbridled liberty to slander me and then refuse to even pay his agreed upon charge. His case was handled professionally, and the charges were DISMISSED COMPLETELY.

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...
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.
"In my opinion Mark is among the finest DUI lawyers in the state. He is a talented orator and a zealous advocate for his clients."
