Attorney Weinrieb A Man of His Word

Attorney Weinrieb is a man of his word and gave me assurance not only before I hired him but also during and until my case was resolved which was REJECTED by the court. I really admire people like him who does not BS and play with peoples lives like many other money thirsty lawyers out there do. Tha...nk you for your help.

Fantastic service & professionalism

Garret was absolutely the most communicative lawyer I have ever encountered, we were always able to reach him one way or another. His professionalism, humanity and understanding was beyond what I could ever hope for. He was able to see right thru the lying accusser and was able to free me from the fa...lse accusation .... Couldn't ask for a better firm and lawyer, simply the Best !!!!! Impressive skills & wonderful down to earth person to speak to as well as being tough enough to get things done. I would recommend Garret to anyone and he will also be the first person I contact for any further needs !!!!!!

Weinrieb for President

Garret is not just a great lawyer- he is a great person. From our first discussion over the phone I knew Garret was down to earth and truly dedicated to his craft. Before we had even agreed to his representation in my case, he was happily answering all my questions in full detail- no matter how dumb... those questions were. He not only walked me through the steps following my arrest in full detail, but spoke to me frankly and honestly as to what would most likely happen and what our best options would be. As an attorney, Garret works harder than most to make sure his client is not just satisfied but pleased with their outcome. If you're looking for seriously dedicated representation that not only understands your circumstances but will fight for you like their own, Garret is your guy. Nothing beats honesty, and he spits it with utmost sincerity and commitment to your goals.

VERY VERY GRATEFUL CLIENT

Last year I was pulled over by a police officer, who gave me a misdemeanor for driving with a foreign license. As I am a foreign student I was not perfectly aware of the law and found myself in an ugly situation, as a misdemeanor would have created a criminal record and put my visa on risk. Mr. We...inrieb was recommended to me by a close friend and I couldn't have been in better hands. He guided me through my case with incredible professionalism, care and knowledge. He successfully got rid of the misdemeanor and provided me from being involved in further trials. I would recommend Mr. Weinrieb to everyone that is not only looking for an extremely talented and professional lawyer, but also for kindness and understanding.

Genuine and dependable

I was facing up to 3 years of jail time on drug charges due to a casual night gone horrendously awry. Garret believed that i wasn't that kind of a person and was empathetic to my circumstances before and during the time of the incident. Despite the allegations, he worked hard to convince the people... that I had the character and drive to build a future worth preserving. I was able to avoid jail. I was given the opportunity to even repair my record. I feel a tremendous amount of weight lifted from my shoulders and have Garret and my family to thank. He is a fantastic attorney and very down to earth guy. Would recommend

"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. But he also works just as hard outside the courtroom as well, always going the extra mile for his clients. Mr. Weinrieb will never give up on a client's case, and where others may decide to throw in the towel, he will always find a way to advocate for his clients. Without any hesitation, I endorse Garret Weinrieb. He is a top defense attorney."
