Garret Weinrieb was very professional through the entire process and was more than willing to answer any and all questions that I had. He walked me through everything and made this difficult time as easy as possible for me. He definitely got me a better outcome than I expected and I’m extremely grateful that I retained his services. I’m very satisfied and appreciate his hard work and dedication. After seeing first hand the knowledge and determination he displayed, I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks for everything, Garret.

Simply said, Garret Weinrieb is one of the most experienced attorneys I’ve ever met. Due to such, I decided to use his expertise for a case and have referred him to friends. One thing that stands out about Mr. Weinrieb is his tenacity. Once he locks on to something, he doesn’t let go. He spent extra time reviewing my civil case and I really appreciate the extra effort. Additionally, Mr. Weinrieb has helped a couple friends with criminal cases, which have all turned out in their favor. One was a DUI case and another was a domestic violence case.

Above and beyond everything, I appreciate the fact that Mr. Weinrieb promptly returns calls and keeps clients informed each step of the way. The last thing anyone wants is to be in the dark about a legal matter. All in all, I would feel comfortable referring Garret Weinrieb to any of my friends and family members.

Garret is a devoted lawyer who will fight for justice at all costs, especially in my case that was just recently FULLY dismissed. I found Garret approachable and felt comfortable, never intimidated, when we discussed my case. Garret was able to work with the district attorney and lower my charges to a minor infraction. Upon taking my case to court, through hardwork and persistence Garret paved the way for the court to dismiss my case. I am extremely impressed and more than satisfied with the attention and time that this wonderful attorney has given me. I recommend him wholeheartedly and believed that he will give his best efforts and nothing less. Thank you Garret for giving me the opportunity to free myself from the situation that I was placed in, and enabling me the freedom to live my life again and focus on nursing school. Your work is greatly noted and appreciated.

Garret was my lawyer in a DUI case. Garret seems to thrive in extremely difficult situations and is aggressive with the ability to improvise and make sense of things to everyone in the room to say that I was impressed is an understatement.

Garret,

After I was arrested and jailed I was scared and worried about how a conviction would affect my family’s well being and my future job prospects.

I spoke to a handful of people who told me that my crime was a “slam dunk” conviction. They said that I should plead guilty and accept my punishment. I was even told that to hire a lawyer and fight the legal system was a waste of money because I could not win.

After consulting with you I realized that I didn’t have to “just accept” what the legal system was telling me… I had options. You took the time to listen to me, research my case and patiently answered all of my questions along the way.  And, most importantly, with you as my lawyer I was not convicted.

You did what others told me couldn’t be done.  I am forever grateful for your legal knowledge, proffessional strength and sincere interest in my well being. I will strongly recommend you to my family, friends and colleagues.

Thank you,
Germain D.

This 1 embarrassing moment when I broke the law could of been with me and affected me and my family my whole life. I am forever grateful I found Mr Weinrieb. He was professional and friendly from the start. Always kept me a breast of all changes and court dates. A lot of Attorneys like to just make there money string u along and get to you when they can.

My experience with Mr Weinrieb was a success in regards to my expulsion of my 288.1 crime. And was a confident professional experience to work with him.

To anyone reading this as a client I fully recommend this gentlemen to all future clients… I wish u and him well as he will try to make a unpleasant experience such as court and crimes as least painful as possible.

I have recently engaged the services of Mr. Weinrieb. The level of effectiveness and professionalism was head and shoulders above other attorneys that I have used in the past. Not only was he knowledgeable about the issues surrounding my case, but he also advised me about other potential issues that might arise in the future. Not only would I utilize these services again, I have and will continue to recommend Mr. Weinrieb to my acquaintances and colleagues. Thank you for all your hard work!

I would recommend Garret to anyone who is in need of a good criminal attorney. I found Garret to be intelligent, detailed and passionate about his job as an attorney. I was charged with two trumped up felony charges and a misdemeanor.

Garret met with me several times to get my story and work on a plan to prove my innocence. He consistently gathered evidence and secured witnesses to prove my innocence.

The thing I like most about having Garret as my Attorney is that “I feel that he understands me and my situation,he can relate to me as a person not just a client.” Garret is a progressive and modern young man. He socializes with family and friends often. He understands that he or one of his friends could easily be in my position and in need of a great attorney. He listens, prepares and defends his clients as if the charges were against him personally. Throughout the whole trial I felt he gave %100 to my case and presentation.

During the trial process Garret and his team presented evidence and witnesses that tore apart prosecutions scenario. Garret questioned and expertly cross examined the prosecutions witnesses and showed their testimony to full of holes and not be credible.

I was acquitted of Assault with a deadly weapon, and Assault on a Police officer. I was found guilty on a misdemeanor of resisting arrest.

I am totally satisfied with the Verdict. I as facing two felony’s that if convicted would require a major prison time sentence.

Because of Garret and his teams commitment, attention to detail and great trial strategy, I am free.

I am very thankful and would recommend Garret to anyone who wants a Attorney who fights for them.

I owe them my life and freedom.

Sincerely,

Tim Richardson


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 almost 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.

Garret, my family and I are deeply grateful for all that you have done.

Sincerely,

Elon Rubin


Working with Garret was a great experience. He is very personable, reliable, and gets things done. Will always take the time to explain everything to you step by step.

Garret Weinrieb was very professional, knowledgeable, and reliable throughout the entire legal process. He was on time for meetings, answered my phone calls, and made me feel at ease because of his relentless work ethic. He did extensive research for my case which led to it being dismissed. Hopefully I’m never in that situation again but if so, I would not hesitate to call Garret Weinrieb to represent me again. 
Thanks for everything,
S.P.
