Honesty Is The Best Policy!

They say, “First Choice Is Always the Right Choice”. I am ashamed to inform you that I was arrested for shoplifting (value of $210) at Target. When I googled for “criminal” attorneys, the only one who caught my attention was Garret D. Weinrieb. After reading all his positive reviews on www.avvo.co...m, yelp, google, etc., I called him up and had a brief discussion regarding my case. He answered all my questions clearly and explained the procedure in details. But what I liked most about him is his HONESTY. From the beginning, he was straight forward and genuine with me and I appreciated his uprightness so very much. After 10 minutes, I stopped searching other attorneys and followed my instincts. I called him again, set up an appointment and hired him instantly. It was the best decision I made. Garrett is knowledgeable, experienced and caring. He has great court demeanor, and he is respected by the judges and prosecutors. With his magic skills of persuasion, the prosecutor offered us diversion which I took. I will perform 60 days community service with a year and after a year, my case will be fully dismissed and my arrest record will be destroyed. Look no further. He is your man. Call him now. Thank you Garret for who you are and all that you did for me. I hope I won’t need you in the future, but I will always recommend you for others who took wrong decisions and acted irrationally for a worthless and embarrassing situation.

MOST HONEST, MOST HARD WORKING & BRILLIANT LAWYER!

I was faced with a bad case that would be very hurtful to my future. I was facing the possibility of misdemeanor charges brought against me & was in dire need of a criminal defense attorney, I called around different places, I remember speaking with a lawyer from a prestigious law firm who wanted $1...500 to be on my corner, and their strategy was to wait around to see if charges were filed against me or not. If charged the new fee was $4000, to go to court. I felt hopeless and terrified, so I agreed for them to email me the retainer. Luckily for me this lawyer never emailed me anything. That’s when I called the Law Office of Garret Weinrieb based on high reviews & was 100% not disappointed! I called Garret on a Saturday night and luckily I was transferred to his direct line. WOW I was quickly impressed. Garret was very honest & informative over the phone. He listened & talked to me about my case. He was a straight to the point guy, no fancy upselling or having some other person handle my case. I hired him that same night. HE GOT MY CASE REJECTED and BOTTOM LINE IS THAT HE TOOK CARE OF BUSINESS & HELPED ME GET ON WITH MY LIFE. My life! Imagine getting your life back. That is something money can’t buy. Completely PRICELESS. Wholeheartedly, thank you my friend for giving me a second chance and my life back. I'm forever thankful & grateful Mr. Weinrieb. People need to know that when you call Garret Weinrieb they have a brilliant lawyer that cares & works harder than any defense out there to win your case. Call Garret he‘s AMAZING!

Great Outcome from an Amazing Lawyer

To everyone out there, I am not one to write reviews or recommend services. However Weinrieb is an exception. This guy will fight for you, no questions ask, a professional at heart and fights to get you the ultimate outcome as possible. My family and I are pleased to have hired him for my case. I was... put on Prop 36 for a drug charge. Never attended court and had to withdraw from my program to move to another state for the best of me. All the way out from Florida he helped me and was very patient, detailed and amazing to work with. He did not make me feel like the criminal I was made out to be, he understood my situation. He took the time to explain to me the details of what really can happen and what can be possible. He got me a trial date. I flew over to Los Angeles to attend my hearing and from the moment he walked in, I felt assured of his work. His representation and relationship with everyone in that court room was absolutely amazing, everyone seem to know him and felt comfortable compromising and working with him. Unlike the other lawyers, they did not have the same presence or acceptance from the Judge, DA or other court room staff. In 30 minutes my charges were dropped walked out with a misdemeanor, no jail time, community service or anything that can jeopardize my future . I will definitely hire him again to clean my record. If you need a dependable lawyer, one that communicates with you directly, that will give you realistic outcome, this is the guy. He will go beyond what he suggested and give you a better outcome than what he said he would do.

Definitely an Amazing Lawyer!

My first time in need of lawyer and I would describe it as a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend Garret if you or your family member are facing a legal challenge. He is bright, knowledgeable, forceful and responsive. He made me comfortable as soon as I sat in his office. I felt very afrai...d but once Garret got involved, I really felt I had someone on my side fighting for me. Most importantly, he ultimately did what he said he was going to do. You honestly get what you pay for, I'm happy with my results. Once again, I would wholeheartedly recommend Garret to anyone looking for first rate criminal defense.

Incredible Attorney, Best Representation in LA County

Through a series of unfortunate incidents with a past employer, I received representation from Mr. Garret Weinrieb at the recommendation of a highly notable civil law firm also in Van Nuys. For over a year, Garret and his excellent team were not only there for me as a client but also as a friend.... He walked me through every step, keeping constant communication and proving why he is the best in the business. His angle and view on the case, along with the fantastic relationships he holds with the District Attorney and array of Judges, was exceptionally warming and a relief each time we were due in court. He has a phenomenal way of making his clients calm and prepared for each event. Initially thinking this situation would ruin my life, Garret and his team in fact did the complete opposite. They gave me back the life I once had and restored my faith when I believed it was all gone. Garret has continued to stay in touch not only with myself, but also checking in on my family as well. I recommend Garret with everything I have. He is exceptionally educated, respectful, honest, hard working, passionate about his career, his clients and will fight until the end, always making sure the client is aware of the situation. Even if you find yourself not needing his services, I would also recommend seeking his advice or referral to another firm as he is highly respected and amongst a fantastic group of attorneys.
