The best representation you can get

After being accused of a serious crime and not knowing what to do or where to go I started contacting several criminal defense attorneys and luckily got to meet with Garret Weinrieb. Unlike previous attorneys I met with he actually took the time to ease my concerns and explained the whole process and... what to expect. He was available anytime I had any questions or concerns regarding my case. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a criminal defense attorney.

What a blessing to have Garret as our attorney!

Garret was wholeheartedly recommended to us by a family friend who had been represented by him. From the first meeting we had with Garret, we were impressed by his professionalism and expertise, approachable demeanor, impeccable style, and charismatic personality. Over the span of several months, it... was always easy to communicate with Garret, as he would promptly respond to our emails or texts. He represented our son on 2 different cases where he had a felony charge for each (which we truly felt did not merit felony charges). Words can never be enough to express the gratitude and relief we continue to experience after all of Garret's diligence in our son's 2 cases. One felony charge was reduced to a misdemeanor and the other felony charge was dismissed! It would definitely not have been possible to attain these results on our own, and for that, we are completely grateful to have had Garret as our son's lawyer. We completely recommend Garret to anyone who needs a criminal defense lawyer who will work thoroughly on a case to provide the best results for his clients. Garret proved to be an incomparable choice! We feel we can breathe more easily now in hopes for a better future for our son, without the stigma of felonies on his record.

A lawyer trying to get you the best

When I hired Garret he made it very clear what he would try and do for my case. I did not have to meet in person, but primarily converse on the phone or through email. He is a busy guy so make sure you are prepared to ask him you questions through email or on the phone when you can. On my court d...ate he tried many negotiation tactics with the DA. I got a fair verdict and I am pleased with the end results.

Top Notch Lawyer

Garret was amazing from the very beginning once I acquired for more information on the case by phone. He listened to my DUI for Drugs case and let me know he would be able to help. When I came into his office I saw how confident Garret was and knew he would be able to help be because of his intellige...nce on DUI's, passion to help others, and determination to get the problem solved. When I had question's he always followed up in a timely manner and made a major situation into something minor. If you're looking for a lawyer that will put all his time into making sure that the result leaves you satisfied call Garret. Thanks for keeping it real! -Kevin A

Life saver, professionalism at its best

Although words cannot express my gratitude towards Garret weinrieb, I just want to take a moment and thank him for what he did for me and my mother. Me and my mother was charged with a shoplifting misdemeanor, we were going through really hard pace of our life. Especially, i was feeling so stressed b...ecause this incident was about to ruin my whole future; the charge of shoplifting could not only harm my educational goals but also my immigration status as well. A friend recommended me of Garret and hiring him was the best choice i could have ever made. He is knowledgeable, experienced and above all he is so honest about the situation and probable outcomes of the case. He doesn't sugar coat anything and shows the clear picture of what is going to happen. After i hired him he was the incharge of my case i followed his instructions and left everything on him. He is caring and so dedicated towards his work. He puts in time and work really hard to get the best outcome for his clients. With all his hardwork he was able to get diversion and comlete dismissal of the case of shoplifting me and my motger were charged of. But as even having a diversion can harm my immigration status Garret along with his associates worked really hard to drop my shoplifting case to just a case of tresspass and get that dismissed too. Garret is really understanding and helpful, he always answers all the questions and concerns. Having him on my side put all my worries on ease. I am so glad that i hired him and saved my future. I am really grateful to him and recommend to anyone who might have took some wrong decisions and need an attorney

"Mr. Weinrieb is one of the most dedicated and hardworking attorneys I have ever had the privilege of working with. His trial skills are truly remarkable, as he supremely gifted in the courtroom.
