Commendations of Attorney Weintraub 

As a federal prosecutor, Mr. Weintraub had the distinction of receiving several commendations regarding his excellent trial skills, including: 

  • Commendation from Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director William H. Webster for outstanding prosecution efforts in an 11-week long criminal jury trial in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia involving international loan fraud, which, at the time the jury verdict was returned on April 4, 1983, was the second longest jury trial ever prosecuted in federal court in Atlanta. Year: 1984
  • Commendation from the Southern Regional Director of Internal Security Division of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for outstanding prosecution efforts in a $500,000.00 attempted bribery prosecution in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia which, at that time, was the largest bribe ever attempted in the history of the IRS.

Mr. Weintraub graduated with distinction from law school at Emory University School of Law. He was also a member of the editorial board of his university’s law review. Prior to becoming a federal prosecutor in Atlanta, he accepted an appointment with the government to be an Honors Program Attorney with the Appellate Section of the Criminal Division of the United States Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. While in this position, less than two years out of Emory, Mr. Weintraub helped write the government's brief before the United States Supreme Court in the critically important case of United States v. Ceccolini, 435 U.S. 268, 98 S.Ct. 1054, 55 L.Ed.2d 268 (1978). This decision concerned the issue of the suppression of the trial testimony of a witness whose identity was discovered through an illegal search of a defendant's business.
