Review Neal Weingart

I can now sleep easier

Posted by

Neal helped lift a great burden off of my shoulders with his legal assistance. Once at the top of my professional career as a pharmacist, I unfortunately succumbed to burden of prescription drug addiction and ultimately plead guilty to 4 class C felonies in April, 2014. After 3 years of supervised probation, I contacted Neal in hopes that he may be able to get these charges reduced to misdemeanors. In addition, I explained that my second amendment rights were also very important to me, and my ultimate goals for this undertaking were to someday be able to practice as a pharmacist, and have my gun rights restored. First, we worked on getting the felonies reduced. We did end up having to go all the way to court but Neal was able to put together a persuasive argument as to why my convictions were unduly harsh. Through my progress in drug treatment and willingness to complete my sentence, Neal convinced the Judge and District Attorney that I was indeed, a different man than I was 4 years ago. My convictions were reduced to misdemeanors in an amended judgement approximately 6 months after my probation ended. Next came the gun rights. In less than 3 months, Neal surprised me with an order signed by a circuit judge restoring my rights to possess firearms. In less than one year, I'm no longer a felon, my civil rights have been restored, and I'm currently working on renewing my pharmacy license. I couldn't be much happier with how everything turned out. Neal made himself available to address any questions or concerns I had throughout the entire process. If you're in need of legal counsel, I would highly recommend Neal.

Neal met with me quickly and helped me to feel at ease. He was thorough in his explanations and worked with me to develop a plan . He wasn't left with many options, but he still worked tirelessly to represent me.

Mr. Weingart is highly intelligent, resourceful, and cares about his clients. He recently went above and beyond for a client, consulting with the local defense bar in Olympia to make sure an Oregon client would not face additional jail time in Washington because of an Oregon matter. He's also gone the distance for Veteran clients, which means a lot to me. I endorse his work.

Matthew McHenry, Criminal defense Attorney on Jan 4, 2012

Mr. Weingart is one of the best trial attorneys I know. If I was charged with a crime, I wouldn't hesitate to have Mr. Weingart represent me.
