DUI CASE

For my DUI' case, Garrett Weinrieb had fought hard by providing accurate statements on police officer's wrongdoings for refusing to provide me an ASL interpreter. Not that I was deaf in which he felt pity, but has pretty a wealth of knowledge with the ADA laws, and other rights for people of all dis...abilities. He did his homework well. Upon his integrity, he made sure that I understand the court procedures by communicating via-email/SMS and in person to keep me inform of my case. He is a serious contender type in resolving and defending a case that he wants to make sure the person is pleased with his work.

Garret is the MAN!!

I can not find the perfect words to express my gratitude towards the help of Garret Weinrieb in defending myself and a friend in a petty theft case. I was extremely worried that my record was going to be tainted forever but Garret helped us find a peace of mind. Weinrieb will go above and beyond to h...elp his clients; NEVER would I have thought searching online for a lawyer would have been the best choice; and luckily it was Garret who fought & represented us. I can now look for a job and have no worries it appearing on my background. I was blessed and thankful for the help of Garret Weinrieb. I RECOMMEND GARRET IN A HEARTBEAT, HE IS THE MAAAAAN!!! Not only is he a great lawyer but I can now say he is a great friend. Thank you for all you have done for us G, you're blessing in the skies. :)

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel

Today I see a light at the end of the tunnel. After being charged for petty theft because of my friend I was with, former friend now. I was facing imigration consequences and employment consequences. I live in Vegas and The charge was in CA. He never lied to me or made false promises. I never wen...t to court and he was able to reduce my charge to disturbing the peace infraction which I believe has no immigration consequences. I am to do 15 days of community service and my case will be closed. This was the best outcome I could ask for. If your looking for a lawyer with a heart garret is your man. He was patient with all my questions and really does all he can for you . I will not hesitate to refer my fam and friends if they ever need a lawyer. Thank you garret for your patience and all you do for your clients. My future is not over because of you :)

Thank you Garret. Lawyer of the year in my book.

Garret Daniel Weinrieb was referred to me by my brother. With the charge of a felony against me and to be on my record, I needed to take quick action and have an attorney by my side to avoid this charge from being on my record. So I seeked council from Mr. Weinrieb. I contacted his office and was see...n very promptly. When I met him I knew he was the right person to be representing me after discussing my case with him. After discussing the case to every detail. We came to an agreement that I wanted him to represent me. He was very professional in all aspects of my case and how we can go about getting my felony dropped. What also stood out the most was that he was friendly and made me feel comfortable to know someone is going to help me through this rough time. He made sure I knew everything that was going on with the case, court times and also how I was doing. When the day to appear in court he was there early waiting for me to go over the case and what to expect. With Garret at my side we approached the judge and his game face was on. He was able to get P.C 1000, which is a deferred entry of judgement program where I was to do what the judge ordered of going to a 6 month class getting my class certification and than to appear in court 6 months later to show the judge the completion of my course. With that being done the judge gave me a year to be on good behavior as I did and on 12/20/2013 we appeared in court and the judge granted me early dismissal and the felony dropped from my record. I'm a new person to this day and i give it all to Mr. Weinrieb for representing me and doing everything he said when I first met him. Thank you Garret for all your help and I hope you can help others out there the way you helped me.

Garret is an honest, trustworthy attorney who is extremely knowledgable; everything you need in an attorney!!!

When I was visiting L.A. my friend got into an altercation at a bar. He was punched and he punched the other person back. He was arrested for assault and battery and told the police that he acted in self defense. The district attorney filed criminal charges against him for felony assault. My frie...nd was facing substantial jail time and he asked me to help him find a criminal lawyer to defend him. I had consultations with several criminal defense lawyers and ultimately decided to hire Garret Weinrieb. Garret was very honest and trustworthy, and told my friend exactly how he would defend his case. He did not make any promises like other lawyers, other than he would work as hard as possible to defend him. Garret argued with the prosecutor that my friend was not the aggressor, and that he only hit the other person in self defense. He gathered witnesses from the bar and a video recording of the incident. When the prosecutor refused to drop the charges Garret told the judge he was prepared for trial. When the prosecutor realized that Garret was serious about defending my friend on the basis of self defense, he offered a plea deal to a charge of disturbing the peace. Instead of accepting this "deal" Garret pushed forward for my friend and demanded trial. Ultimately the prosecutor dismissed the case because he knew that Garret was prepared for trial and that he had prepared a solid case of self defense. I would recommend hiring Garret to anyone in need of an amazing criminal lawyer.
