Weinrieb Law Firm

I found Garret Weinrieb about a year ago to help my friend’s brother when he was facing 10 years in state prison. Garret worked tirelessly to defend him, kept him out of prison, and got a better result than any of us could have hoped for. He patiently explained complex legal issues to his non-​native English speaking family until they understood and was available to answer any questions we had. Garret has years of experience in the area and has cultivated positive relationships with numerous judges and district attorneys which helped him to negotiate a better deal for my friend’s brother. While there are cheaper attorneys to be had, in the criminal justice system, you truly get what you pay for and Garret was worth every penny. In the end, what is money really worth when compared to losing your freedom and a huge portion of your life? I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Through a series of unfortunate incidents with a past employer, I received representation from Mr. Garret Weinrieb at the recommendation of a highly notable civil law firm also in Van Nuys.
For over a year, Garret and his excellent team were not only there for me as a client but also as a friend. He walked me through every step, keeping constant communication and proving why he is the best in the business. His angle and view on the case, along with the fantastic relationships he holds with the District Attorney and array of Judges, was exceptionally warming and a relief each time we were due in court. He has a phenomenal way of making his clients calm and prepared for each event.
Initially thinking this situation would ruin my life, Garret and his team in fact did the complete opposite. They gave me back the life I once had and restored my faith when I believed it was all gone.
Garret has continued to stay in touch not only with myself, but also checking in on my family as well. I recommend Garret with everything I have. He is exceptionally educated, respectful, honest, hard working, passionate about his career, his clients and will fight until the end, always making sure the client is aware of the situation.
Even if you find yourself not needing his services, I would also recommend seeking his advice or referral to another firm as he is highly respected and amongst a fantastic group of attorneys.

Since I first met with Garret, I felt a sense of confidence. Being my first time in a situation where I had to defend myself against the court system, I did heavy research on the matter at hand. Garret stood out by a mile with his approach and knowledge of the context subject. My family felt at ease with my decision and I was never disappointed through the process. Communication was excellent and when I had questions he was always willing to go the extra mile to answer my concerns. I was impressed with his ability to deal with a sensitive subject and persuade the best solution for me. I completely recommend Garret, and I would not think twice if I ever need him again.

On September 2, 2013, I received my first DUI. I was nervous, anxious, confused, and embarrassed. Thankfully I had the good fortune to retain Mr. Garret Weinrieb. He has done a perfect job of «holding my hand» in all of my dealings both with the DMV and the Court. His fee is reasonable, his expertise is unmatched, and his compassion and responsiveness are superb and professional. He secured an extremely reasonable outcome given the circumstances of my case and for that I am eternally thankful. He has my highest recommendation.

I contacted Garret Weinrieb after being referred to him by a good friend. My fiancé and I were in need of a criminal law attorney. This was all very new to us and we had no clue what we were dealing with. Upon our first meeting with Garret we immediately felt at ease. We explained our situation and Garret went into great detail regarding different scenarios on how to handle our case. He was very upfront and honest regarding the entire process
After contracting Garret’s services he immediately went to work for us. All of our emails and telephone calls were answered in a timely manner. He even responded on weekends and while on his family vacation. Our outcome was favorable and we could not be more satisfied with the service he provided.

Words cannot fully express my gratitude for what you have done for family. I understood my cousin was in a dire situation when denied bail due to the seriousness of the assault charges he was facing, and because he had a prior strike. So we hired a local attorney who promised that his extensive experience as a criminal defense attorney would provide the best representation for my cousin. However, my cousin and I grew unsure of this attorney’s ability and motivation as the case progressed.
I was in a state of despair as the trial date drew closer, but I knew that my cousin needed a different attorney. After having been introduced to you through a family friend, I immediately sensed a difference in your demeanor and professionalism that made me feel we made the right choice. I only wish we could have met you sooner.
Your tireless work ethic and meticulous attention to detail gave me the confidence that my cousin would receive the best criminal defense possible. Although I am no legal expert, it was clear to me that you accomplished much more in a shorter time than did my cousin’s previous attorney. In addition, you were easily accessible at a moment’s notice and more than willing to travel to visit my cousin in jail despite the distance and your busy schedule. You have treated my cousin and our family with such genuine care only seen among family members. Not only did you provide excellent legal counsel, you provided great emotional support for us to get through this tough period. For this, I am greatly appreciative.
Now you have given my cousin a second chance, and my restless nights are finally over. I truly appreciate your candor, integrity, and work ethic. More attorneys should be like you in an ideal world, but sadly, too many attorneys view their clients as just that and forget that they are human beings. Although our circumstances were unfortunate, I am very glad to have met you and will recommend your services with the utmost regard.

After working with Garret, I carry around his business cards with me because I would not hesitate to refer anyone in need of legal help to him. I was accused by a patient and was facing very serious charges that could have lead to prison time and sex offender registration. He was able to get the DA to not file any charges against me. My previous attorney told me to wait until charges were filed but I felt compelled to do something before charges ever get filed so I found Garret online. His client testimonials coupled with his extensive experience in criminal defense and family background in law that I felt confident he would do his best for me and prevent me from being convicted for a crime I did not commit. He knew right away that waiting was not an option and took action immediately. He compiled a package that he presented to the DA that included a strong background letter and many character letters. He kept in constant contact with the DA as well as with me, giving me daily updates. He was always available by phone or email and that gave me a lot of reassurance and comfort that he was always on top of my case and working hard for me. Garret is very professional but he is also kind and caring.
