Howard Weintraub did a masterful job representing me.

I contacted Atlanta criminal defense attorney Howard Weintraub while police were in my home with a search warrant and confiscating all of my computers and cell phones. I was scared and unsure about what to do and say in response to the questioning of me by the police. My call to Mr. Weintraub was at 7a.m. and I expected to get his answering service but Mr. Weintraub unbelievably answered the phone! He advised me as to how to handle the search-what to do and what to say and what not to do and what not to say. I felt a great deal better just knowing he was involved with me from the beginning of my case. It is now several months later and I am happy to say my case is closed! No arrest, no charges, no plea deal, no trial, no anything. What could have forever changed my life for the worse has become a non event. Mr. Weintraub’s handling of this matter can only be described as MASTERFUL. I can never adequately express my gratitude to attorney Howard Weintraub. If you need a great criminal defense lawyer call Howard Weintraub.

Son's life and career saved

Howard and his entire team are OUTSTANDING. I can't imagine being in better hands in a court of law. He earned every penny of his fee. Howard, You saved my son's life and I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH! He put himself in a terrible position and being in the medical industry if he was convicted, in addition to facing jail time his career would have been over. I am not sure if he could have survived if that had happened. You were there for us when we most needed you. You are so compassionate that I wonder if you first went to school for social work - just kidding. You did talk me in off the ledge and and gave me confidence that you were the one to retain for my son. Your entire staff, especially Ben are OUTSTANDING. It would be my pleasure to speak to anyone who is considering you for their defense. THANK YOU MY FRIEND

A Great Lawyer but a Greater Person

Lawyers traditionally have never been my favorite class of people. Fort the most part, I have found them to be arrogant, pompous, overconfident and sadly lacking in people skills. I never thought I would ever meet one that would change that perception, but Ben did, and only those people who really know me would really know what a great accomplishment that was. I was in a situation where I had to confront and deal with some truly horrible truths about people in general; I was facing things that would make most people run away screaming in terror. Ben did not turn away; he walked with me through things that, while unimaginable, were reality. He was truthful, honest, and caring and he did not judge which was very important to me. Ben's great value to me was not that he was a great lawyer, but a greater person and I now have something I never had before - a lawyer I can honestly say became my friend.

Stop calling other attorneys!

I knew I had called the right law firm from the moment that Mr. Howard Weintraub answered my phone call first thing Monday morning following my DUI arrest that previous Friday night. Mr. Weintraub scheduled to see me that same day and I met the lead attorney for my case, Benjamin Alper. That meeting confirmed my feelings from the conversation. They were smart, personable, and incredibly trustworthy. I retained them immediately. Benjamin Alper’s character continually reaffirmed my initial feelings throughout the entire process. I have no doubt that the law offices of Weintraub and Alper put each and every one of their clients on the exact same pedestal - the top. The nine months leading up to us fighting this in a jury trial, we had the common continuances, the decisions to have the case heard before a Judge, take a plea, or take it to jury trial. Each step was clearly defined, discussed, recommended, and decided in my best interest. Ben NEVER failed to return a call or answer an email. I cannot thank them enough for how they handled me, my case, or the trial. Ben was always truthful, positive, and reassuring. I never felt for one second that I had hired the wrong attorney. Ben’s preparation and trial skills were so top notch that thankfully we did win. Although, I would have felt this strongly about recommending them win or lose based on the people they are and how they handled my case throughout the entire process . If you are in need of legal representation - DO NOT HESITATE to call Howard Weintraub and Benjamin Alper. I highly highly highly recommend The Law Offices of Weintraub and Alper!

For my family, Howard was that light.

No one appreciates light more than someone surrounded by darkness. The criminal justice system is a dark room whose floor is filled with black holes that no one wants to fall into because once you do there is no way out. You need a light to navigate the room. For my family, Howard was that light. In September of this year, I saw a great attorney who walked with us through a tremendous amount of darkness and shined spectacularly when the darkness was at its worst. There was not a lot I could give him, so I gave him the best that I had, a piece of my heart. He will always have that.

I owe Ben and Howard so much and cannot begin to thank them enough.

I am a former client of Weintraub and Alper, and hiring them was one of the smartest things that I could have done. Facing the wrath of the Federal Government is something that no one should face by themselves. If you find yourself in this situation, I can say with 100% confidence, that Howard and Ben will be by your side every step of the way. I was part of a high profile case and Ben was my lead attorney. However, that does not mean that Howard sat on the sidelines while Ben took over. Howard was always there to answer all my questions, and in the courtroom, he made sure I fully understood what was going on and what to expect from the Judge and Prosecution. I cannot begin to say enough about the professionalism and tenacity that Ben and Howard should during my case. They both fought for my rights and did not waiver when the Government was seeking a higher than normal prison sentence. They showed their brilliance in court and convinced the judge that the Government was being unreasonable. I owe Ben and Howard so much and cannot begin to thank them enough. They are both fantastic at what they do, and I would have no hesitation recommending them to anyone

Best Defense Attorney

Ben represented me in 2013. I was facing a minimum of 10 years for armed robbery. Ben and Howard came to my rescue!! At the time, I was very naive about my charges and how much trouble I was actually in. Ben was always honest with my family and me. He would always listen to what I wanted. If he disagreed with me, he would let me know that he would go forward with my request, but it may not be in my best interest, and he would ALWAYS explain the reasons why. My case was very complicated, so it did take some time. Ben never gave up and he looked into every option possible. Ben was able to reduce my charges and I ended up serving only 2 1/2 years in prison. It couldn't have gone any better!! Ben was always on my side, and best of all, he gave me my life back.

I absolutely LOVE Howard!!

Howard and Ben represented me in 2013. I was facing a minimum of 10 years for armed robbery. I absolutely LOVE Howard!! I always felt a "fatherly" vibe from him. He definitely did NOT sugar coat anything :) I don't know how Howard and Ben did it, but instead of serving 10 years in prison, I served only 2 1/2 years. Howard is the best at what he does. He won't stop until he finds the best outcome for you. I am so thankful that he represented me. I couldn't have found anyone better!

He has always been great to work with and is a truly admired and trusted attorney and adviser.

I hired Weintraub in 2005 for a DUI case. Everything seemed to be settled until I learned that my case was still open with the city in 2016 - 11 years later! Within a week of contacting Howard about this, he got my case closed. He has always been great to work with and is a truly admired and trusted attorney and adviser. I would recommend him to anyone seeking legal assistance, not just for DUI's but for any situations.

Howard sure knows how to pick a great partner for his firm.

My son was caught up in some Legal trouble almost 3 years ago. Possible charges where Felony's in a traffic accident. After I placed a call on a Sunday to the Law office, Howard personally called back within 10 minutes even he was out of state at the time. We discussed the situation in length. And later that day we met with his Partner Ben Alper in their Atlanta office. Now almost 3 years later and a lot of work from those 2 Lawyers our case got the best possible outcome. No record, no jail. no felony. And my son finally can move on with his life. What I truly value at this Law Firm is that you not only a case number, but a person there life's are at stake. And Howard sure knows how to pick a great partner for his firm.

Finally a Lawyer who understands

Almost 3 years ago my Son was involved in an unfortunately accident. Leading to possible Felony charges and jail time. After some research we called the The Law Office of Howard Weintraub and Benjamin Alper. Even being a Holiday we met with Ben that same afternoon. We felt very good about our choice of Lawyer right a way. So know almost 3 years later we got the best possible outcome in my Son's case. No Jail time and no record. Meaning my Son can move on with his life. If you work with Ben you can be assured that your phone calls, e-mails will be responded to in the shortest manner. He is very smart and has a calming personality about him. And truly cares about his clients, so you are not just a number like at some of them large law offices. Finally a Lawyer who understands that it is not just a job they are doing, but literally peoples lifes are in stake. Thank's so much...

Howard Weintraub and Benjamin Alper were sent by God to help me!

In September of 2014, I appeared in Fulton County State Court to answer a calendar call on my case. I was being charged with DUI and I have had 3 prior DUI convictions over my lifetime. I am 49 years old. My case had been continued by Judge Eady and the prosecutor for me to hire an attorney to represent me. When Judge Eady called my case I stood up and when the prosecutor asked where my attorney was I stated that I had not retained an attorney, even though my case had been continued more than once for me to hire an attorney. The prosecutor became upset and stated to Judge Eady that she felt I was playing games by seeking continuances to have an attorney and then coming to court without an attorney. The Courtroom was completely full of defendants and their lawyers. There must have been 100 cases that day and maybe over 25 lawyers in the courtroom. Judge Eady asked me in front of the packed courtroom why I hadn’t hired an attorney when I had been given several continuances to hire an attorney. I answered that I couldn’t afford to hire an attorney as I had been going through a terrible emotional time in my life due to the suicide death of my teenage daughter that had occurred just a few weeks before the court date. At that moment a miracle happened!! One of the attorneys, who was sitting in the jury box which was full of attorneys appearing that day in court, stood up and said “Your Honor, Howard Weintraub, nice to see you again. I am here on my case that is on your calendar but after hearing what this gentleman has just stated, my heart goes out to him and his tragic loss and I announce that my partner, Benjamin Alper, and I will represent him pro bono, and not seek any compensation for our services.” Judge Eady thanked Howard for taking my case for fee and Howard then came over to me, hugged me in front of the packed courtroom and took me outside into an adjourning conference room to talk with me about the passing of my daughter and the facts of my case. Oh my God, I could not believe what was happening! Mr. Weintraub was sent to me by God! Now let me tell you what Howard and Ben (his partner) did for me. Howard and Ben met with me the next day and reviewed my case with me. Due to an oversight, the Department of Drivers’ Services had suspended my license. Ben contacted the Department of Drivers’ Services on my behalf and got my license reinstated that day! Given the nature of the charges and my past history, the prosecutor initially demanded that I serve 10 days in the Fulton County Jail. I decided to just take my lumps and move on with my life and do the time. However, on the day of Court, Ben spoke to the Judge and the prosecutor and got them to drop all of the jail. Another miracle! These guys are great! I cannot thank Howard Weintraub and Benjamin Alper enough for what they did for me. Howard and Ben are the two most compassionate people I have ever known. It is a privilege to have Howard Weintraub and Benjamin Alper represent me. And they did so for free and got a great result! God bless you Howard and Ben. Please hire Howard Weintraub and Benjamin Alper to be your attorneys.

Howard Wewintraub and Benjamin Alper did a phenomenal job representing me.

In 2013, I was indicted by a federal grand jury for several drug related offenses and money laundering. Because of the quantity of drugs involved in my case and my criminal history, I was facing 40 years in federal prison. Through a lawyer contact in Atlanta, Georgia I was referred to the criminal defense team of Howard Weintraub and Benjamin Alper. What a great team these lawyers are and I am so satisfied that I hired Howard and Ben to represent me. From my initial appearance and bond hearing through the imposition of sentencing in my case, Howard and Ben did a truly superb job representing my interests, exploring each and every defense and argument that could be raised either to exonerate me or to mitigate against my punishment should I be convicted either following a guilty plea or following a jury trial. Some three years after commencing their representation of me, Howard, Ben and I agreed that a plea of guilty would be the appropriate and judicious way to proceed. The plea protected me from receiving, in effect, a life sentence. Although I was sentenced to a period of imprisonment, the length of time that I will serve is drastically less than the 40 years I could have received. I feel Howard and Ben did not fail to do anything in my defense. Throughout the three years of being represented by Howard and Ben both of these attorneys have remained true to their word in every aspect of my representation. Their task of representing me was very difficult due to my exposure of a lengthy prison sentence. Howard Weintraub and Benjamin Alper never let me down and I will remain forever grateful to the both of them for defending me and helping me. I highly recommend Howard Weintraub and Benjamin Alper to anyone needing excellent criminal defense lawyers. They truly are phenomenal lawyers.

He is the attorney you need on your side.

I can tell you that Howard is a fantastic defense attorney. I was referred to him after finding out I was under investigation by a federal agency for a misunderstanding. As an attorney myself, I knew how important it was to have a top-notch defense attorney get involved from the start. Howard did just that. I called him in a frenzy after discovering my predicament on a Friday evening when his office was closed. Normally I would have never expected a call back until Monday, but his answering service passed along the message and, sensing my urgency, he called me back that evening. This set the tone for our entire relationship. He is always on top of the issues and ready to take the next step. He is a tireless worker and skillful tactician with a mastery of the law. Within a week of hiring him we had created a detailed strategy for handling my case. This set my mind at ease and let me focus on the important things instead of worrying about the "what ifs". I knew he was working hard for me, but what mattered most to me was that I knew I could trust him with my case and my life. Within a few short months everything was cleared up and I was able to move on with my life. The intricacies of the criminal law process require someone who is diligent, intelligent and can empathize with their clients, while also fighting tooth and nail for their innocence. I have not met another attorney better at this than Howard. Whether you are charged with a simple misdemeanor or capital crime, he is the attorney you need on your side.

Very good attorney!

Ben is a very good lawyer, my son got into trouble in Spalding county and Ben came all the way down there to help us out. My son was facing a long jail time, he spent very little time in jail and everything got dropped later. Ben and my son were able to work well together and that helped out a lot. Very good lawyer.

Cannot recommend enough.

I was charged with a felony for possession of an illegal substance, immediately found Howard and was subsequently taken care of quickly and proficiently. Not only did he and his team work to get me out quick and get all charges dismissed, but they were also incredibly kind along the way. Cannot recommend enough.

Best Defense lawyer!

Howard Weintraub is one of the best defense attorneys in metro Atlanta. He recently defended my daughter in numerous cases in several counties during her wild drug escapades. He was able to coordinate and consolidate all the cases together so that she got drug treatment and rehabilitation and not time in prison. Howard is a hard working, honest and honorable lawyer. I would recommend him to anyone that needed a criminal attorney. I was very satisfied with the results of my daughter's cases.
