Life saver, professionalism at its best

Although words cannot express my gratitude towards Garret weinrieb, I just want to take a moment and thank him for what he did for me and my mother. Me and my mother was charged with a shoplifting misdemeanor, we were going through really hard pace of our life. Especially, i was feeling so stressed b...ecause this incident was about to ruin my whole future; the charge of shoplifting could not only harm my educational goals but also my immigration status as well. A friend recommended me of Garret and hiring him was the best choice i could have ever made. He is knowledgeable, experienced and above all he is so honest about the situation and probable outcomes of the case. He doesn't sugar coat anything and shows the clear picture of what is going to happen. After i hired him he was the incharge of my case i followed his instructions and left everything on him. He is caring and so dedicated towards his work. He puts in time and work really hard to get the best outcome for his clients. With all his hardwork he was able to get diversion and comlete dismissal of the case of shoplifting me and my motger were charged of. But as even having a diversion can harm my immigration status Garret along with his associates worked really hard to drop my shoplifting case to just a case of tresspass and get that dismissed too. Garret is really understanding and helpful, he always answers all the questions and concerns. Having him on my side put all my worries on ease. I am so glad that i hired him and saved my future. I am really grateful to him and recommend to anyone who might have took some wrong decisions and need an attorney

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.

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 :)

Great Learning Experience

Garret, Hi. Greetings to you! Finally, i can now sleep well and get rid of any worries and fears. It was such a learning experience. And of course I owe this most specially to you who never left me whenever fear conquer me. In spite of my misdemeanor, you were there to defend and protect me. I couldn...’t thank you enough. Whenever i was afraid, you were there to assure me that everything will be alright. I am only rest assured whenever you update me. So many things had happened that i didn’t expect, because you never neglected my case. The fears of being sent to jail, community service and my status as an immigrant which might be jeopardized were all abated. I want to especially thank you for spending time in taking care of my case. i thank God that He has given me a lawyer who would defend me to the end. You did not allow me to go through all the humiliation that i deserved. I assure you I really learned my lesson. Looking back at those trying moments, i think about the shame i would have caused my family, and you were there to keep this known from them. You have been sincerely my shield. What more can I say. May you continue to be a blessing to those who need your help. And as you safeguard your clients, may you implant in them just as you did to me, the moral lesson they have to learn. I am sorry for giving in to temptation but i am so thankful that i have undergone this process because I was really pruned. And most of all, i have known a person who’s desire to defend clients is so fervent that you would burn in shame and guilt for committing the act.
