Honest and straightforward

Garret was honest and straightforward with me regarding my DV case and also my concerns with my professional licensing board. Garret answered all of my questions and offered professional insight on valid issues. A huge relief during a very stressful time!

Well earned reputation

I sought references for a defense attorney from a personal acquaintance who is an Assistant District Attorney prosecuting criminal offenses. Garret was at the top of the list, and his recommendation proved to be well deserved. I could not be more pleased with his expertise, demeanor, and accessibilit...y. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome of the matter, and highly recommend his services.

What a blessing to have Garret as our attorney!

Garret was wholeheartedly recommended to us by a family friend who had been represented by him. From the first meeting we had with Garret, we were impressed by his professionalism and expertise, approachable demeanor, impeccable style, and charismatic personality. Over the span of several months, it... was always easy to communicate with Garret, as he would promptly respond to our emails or texts. He represented our son on 2 different cases where he had a felony charge for each (which we truly felt did not merit felony charges). Words can never be enough to express the gratitude and relief we continue to experience after all of Garret's diligence in our son's 2 cases. One felony charge was reduced to a misdemeanor and the other felony charge was dismissed! It would definitely not have been possible to attain these results on our own, and for that, we are completely grateful to have had Garret as our son's lawyer. We completely recommend Garret to anyone who needs a criminal defense lawyer who will work thoroughly on a case to provide the best results for his clients. Garret proved to be an incomparable choice! We feel we can breathe more easily now in hopes for a better future for our son, without the stigma of felonies on his record.

Top Notch Lawyer

Garret was amazing from the very beginning once I acquired for more information on the case by phone. He listened to my DUI for Drugs case and let me know he would be able to help. When I came into his office I saw how confident Garret was and knew he would be able to help be because of his intellige...nce on DUI's, passion to help others, and determination to get the problem solved. When I had question's he always followed up in a timely manner and made a major situation into something minor. If you're looking for a lawyer that will put all his time into making sure that the result leaves you satisfied call Garret. Thanks for keeping it real! -Kevin A

A True Mensch

Garret Weinrieb was referred to me by a trusted friend after I was falsely arrested by the L.A.P.D. in their attempt to transform my future into the posture of perpetual supplication. I knew from my very first meeting with Garret he was the suitable choice. Many defense attorneys in this city are co...wards when facing the L.A.P.D and try to force their innocent clients to take preposterous plea deals. Plea deals are a trick of the prosecution (unconstitutionally imposed on the poor in my opinion) strictly to give you a conviction on your record while saving prosecutors the headache of trial and simultaneously “saving” you thousands of dollars by not going to trial. Sounds good right? WRONG! The “savings” you get with a plea deal conviction on your record will cost you a fortune in the long run when you can’t find a job, can’t rent an apartment and permanently lose your right to vote. Because of these obvious conclusions most people don’t utilize the time to brainstorm; I decided to take a chance with a trial. Garret was brutally honest with my options and backed my decision all the way. Garret is not one of those shysters who’ll take your money and you never hear from him again. He would always respond to my messages by phone or email the same day. He worked diligently to construct my defense and get me ready for trial. I could see early on that Garret was considerably more prepared than the prosecutors. He was always ten steps ahead doing his own investigation of my case, finding and interviewing witnesses long before the prosecutors did. Garret’s expeditious and astute strategy reminded me of one of my favorite quotes from a former lawyer and the first Republican American President Abraham Lincoln, “I dared not trust the case on the presumption that the court knows everything. In fact, I argued it on the presumption that the court didn't know anything.” In conclusion because Garret was substantially more equipped for trial than the prosecutors, it ultimately compelled them to dismiss my case entirely just a few days before jury selection. Because I could never submit myself to malicious prosecution I had to find a defense attorney who was not only smart but possessed true grit. I got exactly what I wanted with the unfounded case against me consigned to the dustbin of Los Angeles criminal court history. I was extremely lucky and very grateful to have had Garret Weinrieb on my side.
