The Best Attorney!

My family and I were desperately looking for the best pqossible attorney to represent my brother whom was accused with very serious charges: child molestation. After days of constant research, I found Mr. Garret Weinrieb and my family and I are very pleased with his work and ultimately with the outco...me. While my brother's charges were very serious with a potential life sentence, Garret fought tirelessly to lower my brother's sentence to 15 years. I'm sure that if it would have not been for Garret's dedication, tenacity and experience, my brother's sentence would have been much longer. My family and I cannot express enough our gratitude towards Garret for being honest with us about the severity of the case since day one and for always being available every time that I needed to ask him a question (since I was the spokesperson for my family); Garret even offered to meet with the whole family on a Sunday afternoon so everybody got a chance to ask him questions. Even though there are no excuses for child molestation, Garret listened to us (the family) about my brother's childhood, illness and mental status and he strategically thought about hiring a psychologist to determine my brother's mental status and he cleverly used it in his defense. So, if you are in need of a smart, professional, honest, caring, committed and well experienced attorney, Garret is the way to go. Be assured that he will fight tirelessly on your favor and will not settle with anything that is not the best for you. Also, he will keep you informed of every step of the process. Thank you for everything you did for my brother Garret!!! (:

Is it time to lawyer up? Call Garret.

Hiring Garret as my criminal defense attorney was the best decision I ever made. I was a first time offender and a college student, so having a criminal record really wasn't an option for me; Garret completely understood and sympathized with that. He immediately got started on my case and after sever...al months of his hard, diligent work, it paid off! Thanks to Garret my record will be clear and most importantly, HE SAVED MY FUTURE! I cannot stress enough how important it is to invest in a good attorney when dealing with sticky situations. If you're at all concerned about your future, hire Garret. I met with several criminal defense attorneys in order to determine who would be best for me, and what stood out about Garret the most was how honest he was. He won't feed you lies or make empty promises about your case; he'll always be straight forward with you. Not to mention, he seemed the most knowledgable of them all, extremely sharp, and confident. And clearly, he was able to deliver an amazing outcome even when the odds were completely against me in this case... the outcome he was able to get speaks for itself. Honestly, this review doesn't even come close to doing him justice. So to put it simply, he's an exceptional lawyer and my best advice to anyone is: hire him. Thank you Garret!

Garret saved my life

I can't thank Garret enough. I was wrongfully accused of a crime and was facing a long prison term. Basically, my life was on the line. Garret's compassion, knowledge, skill, and dedication saved my life. I was found not guilty. I can't thank him enough!

Garett is very knowledgable and straight forward, hard worker and excellent staff

Garett is straight forward and takes quick action, my family and I are very thankful we got referred to him. He kept me posted on new information as it came and always made sure I understood exactly what to do. Very down to earth person and knows exactly how to handle things. I was wrongfully accu...sed for assault with a deadly weapon with my car by bumping into someone when I was brake checked. The police Put a 30 grand bail on me with a court date and towed my car. while the other person got let go and didn't press any charges while the police did..Got out with bail bonds and with with Garett's hard work got the case rejected without a court date to attend and now the other person is at fault. He is even helping me erase my arrest off my record. Thank you Garett for everything. He was extremely helpful and knowledgable, I would definetly recommend Garett without a question. Made me feel comfortable and important. Thanks again Garett! Excellent service and outcome! Very pleased!

Mr. Garret Weinreib - A highly recommended Attorney

I would recommend Mr. Weinreib to anyone who is looking for an excellent defense attorney. He will provide you with the best possible defense which will result in the most favorable outcome. Mr. Weinreib was diligent in maintaining open communication and never made any promises he couldn’t keep. It... is important to realize that when you hire a lawyer you are also hiring a Team. As it turned out, the whole team was also excellent. Mr. Weinreib and his Team have a great rapport with all the necessary players that need to be involved in your case. Those relationships make a big difference and are very important to ensuring a positive result. Mr. Weinreib was able to direct me to the most competent people required to assist in my case. From a great bail bondsman to court recognized medical professionals, and they all helped to ensure a positive outcome for me. I could not have been happier with the outcome in our case. As a result, I would recommend Mr. Weinreib and his legal team to anyone who needs superior legal counsel. He is very down to earth and has a heart and a conscience which are rare commodities these days.
