Best Legal Representation Hands Down

Dear Mr. Weinrieb: This review is long overdue. I just wanted to put the horrible ordeal of being falsely accused and charged with a felony for assault behind me in order to get my life back. Now that several month had passed and I got a new job, I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart f...or everything you have done for me, in and out of the courtroom. I truly believed in the justice system until I faced this zealous DA, who seemed less interested in exonerating the innocent than raising her convection rate count. Now I am convinced that hiring you was the best thing I did to prove my innocence. From the very beginning you made me confident in your ability to defend me. I really appreciate the fact that you were always available returning my calls and promptly replying to my text messages. I highly recommend you to anyone facing criminal charges and is looking to hire the best attorney hands down. Again, thank you for representing me well in all of the court appearances and for making the best legal arguments on my behalf. Now, I am free to live my life as a productive member of society and I owe it all to you my friend. Best regards,

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.

carry around his business cards with me because I would not hesitate to refer anyone in need of legal help to him

After working with Garret, I carry around his business cards with me because I would not hesitate to refer anyone in need of legal help to him. I was accused by a patient and was facing very serious charges that could have lead to prison time and sex offender registration. He was able to get the DA t...o not file any charges against me. My previous attorney told me to wait until charges were filed but I felt compelled to do something before charges ever get filed so I found Garret online. His client testimonials coupled with his extensive experience in criminal defense and family background in law that I felt confident he would do his best for me and prevent me from being convicted for a crime I did not commit. He knew right away that waiting was not an option and took action immediately. He compiled a package that he presented to the DA that included a strong background letter and many character letters. He kept in constant contact with the DA as well as with me, giving me daily updates. He was always available by phone or email and that gave me a lot of reassurance and comfort that he was always on top of my case and working hard for me. Garret is very professional but he is also kind and caring.

Holidays, Day and Nights, He's There for You, No Exceptions!

My 19 year old son was arrested on his way home to Hawaii from Los Angeles. The TSA stopped him for having brass knuckles which he used for a college project and forgot they were there. Being 3,000 miles away, I needed someone I felt was competent to help my son because Mom couldn’t be there and didn...’t know anything about this world of law. After having conversations with several attorneys, I selected Garret Weinrieb who was recommended by a classmate of his. Garret worked with me over the phone and by email during the holidays to prepare our case. He was kind, timely, succinct and provided comprehensive explanations to ease a mom’s concerns. With Garret’s representation and guidance, the case went from a felony to an infraction which allowed my son’s record to remain clear of a conviction, and had no repercussions on his scholarships and post-college job opportunities.

Garret did an amazing job not allowing to prosecution to present a viable case

I was falsely accused of domestic violence. As it was a very serious charge, I knew I needed an attorney. A friend recommended I contact Garret. I met with Garret, told him the truth about what happened that evening and he immediately went to work. There were a series of court dates that we went to i...n an attempt to settle the matter. But, the DA wasn’t willing to deal things down far enough for my liking. So, we took the case to trial. Countless hours were spent in preparation. Once at trial, Garret did an amazing job, not allowing to prosecution to present a viable case. Our side of the case was clear, concise and factual, giving the jury a clear and honest picture of what had happened. And, after only deliberating for 90mins, the jury came back with a non guilty verdict on all charges. I hope that no one has to go through what I did, but if so, I would highly recommend retaining Garret’s services. He is extremely hard working, attentive to my texts, phone calls and emails and honest about the court system. Despite what I knew to be true about the incident, Garret never told me the matter would go away.. Instead, he said we needed to work hard and make sure everything was ready to go..And, as a result, I was found not guilty. And, as I said, I was completely satisfied with his efforts!!
