My Experience with Weinrieb Attorney

Garrett is an exceptional lawyer that takes strong initiative when working on your case. His methods and practice are superlative and his warm personality and compassion makes you feel comfortable when you are going through a rough time. When arrested for a DUI for the first time, I felt lost in the ...system and had no idea what to do. I did not understand any of the logistics, terminology or anything that had to do with the law and court system. Not only did Garret help me understand all the consequences of my case and what was to come, he attended all my pre-trial court appointments and DMV hearings. Because of his enthusiasm, confidence and professionalism, he was able to reduce my DUI (BAC of 0.1) to a wet and reckless. I give Garrett my highest recommendation as he has been an invaluable asset to my case and one that will definitely not let you down. --V.

Garret, my family and I are deeply grateful for all that you have done.

I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to Garret Weinrieb. I was going through a very turbulent time in my life and had a lapse in judgment, ultimately I found myself facing charges of 5 felony counts. I felt hopeless, alone and scared. I couldn’t understand how one mistake could almo...st cost me my future. I had lost the respect of my peers and friends. I was in total dire straits. Thankfully a friend referred me to Garret. His meticulous knowledge of the law and extreme patience is what I was first taken with. In addition every question that I had always got a answer, every phone call, email or text always got a timely response. No matter where Garret was or what he was doing I always felt like a priority, he was in this with me and wouldn’t let me fail. His diligent work with the D.A got my charges reduced to one count felony/misdemeanor no time served and community service. This outcome was better than I could have hoped. I can now close that chapter of my life and move forward with a clean slate.

A serious attorney who really knows LA courts

I hired Garret to defend me against a potential DUI. My BAC was tested to be .10 during my arrest. I wasn’t going to gamble on a public defender nor did I want to pay the $5000 + most DUI attorneys charge. Garret was referred to me by a colleague who had gone to law school with Garret and could vouch... for his reputation and work ethic. Garret charged me the lowest rate out there and helped me lower my offense from a DUI to a wet wreckless. Not that I think you should ever be cheap about hiring professionals to help you when you have a lot at stake, but I have to admit that I think I got a good deal. He is a serious attorney who really knows LA courts and did not charge me an arm and a leg for some peace of mind. I’m a satisfied customer despite being a less than enthusiastic Goodwill volunteer.

Upfront and Honest About the Entire Process

Recently I contacted Garret Weinrieb after being referred to him by a good friend. My fiancé and I were in need of a criminal law attorney. This was all very new to us and we had no clue what we were dealing with. Upon our first meeting with Garret we immediately felt at ease. We explained our situat...ion and Garret went into great detail regarding different scenarios on how to handle our case. He was very upfront and honest regarding the entire process. After contracting Garret’s services he immediately went to work for us. All of our emails and telephone calls were answered in a timely manner. He even responded on weekends and while on his family vacation. Our outcome was favorable and we could not be more satisfied with the service he provided. Thank you, Annette Bañuelos & David Sanchez

Words cannot fully express my gratitude for what you have done for my son and our family

Dear Garret, Words cannot fully express my gratitude for what you have done for my son and our family. I understood my son was in a dire situation when denied bail due to the seriousness of the assault charges he was facing, and because he had a prior strike. So we hired a local attorney who promise...d that his extensive experience as a criminal defense attorney would provide the best representation for my son. However, my son and I grew unsure of this attorney’s ability and motivation as the case progressed. I was in a state of despair as the trial date drew closer, but I knew that my son needed a different attorney. After having been introduced to you through a family friend, I immediately sensed a difference in your demeanor and professionalism that made me feel we made the right choice. I only wish we could have met you sooner. Your tireless work ethic and meticulous attention to detail gave me the confidence that my son would receive the best criminal defense possible. Although I am no legal expert, it was clear to me that you accomplished much more in a shorter time than did my son’s previous attorney. In addition, you were easily accessible at a moment’s notice and more than willing to travel to visit my son in jail despite the distance and your busy schedule. You have treated my son and our family with such genuine care only seen among family members. Not only did you provide excellent legal counsel, you provided great emotional support for us to get through this tough period. For this, I am greatly appreciative. Now you have given my son a second chance, and my restless nights are finally over. I truly appreciate your candor, integrity, and work ethic. More attorneys should be like you in an ideal world, but sadly, too many attorneys view their clients as just that and forget that they are human beings. Although our circumstances were unfortunate, I am very glad to have met you and will recommend your services with the utmost regard. Thank you for everything Garret.
