John Weekes - Fort Lauderdale Criminal Defense Lawyer Reviews & Ratings
About John Weekes
I am a trial lawyer, with roughly over thirteen years experience in the courtroom. I know that if you are looking for a criminal defense lawyer for yourself or a loved one, you are seeking results. Furthermore, if you do not have confidence in your lawyer, you will never have confidence in the results he obtains for you. I have numerous positive outcomes at trial, and I have negotiated hundreds of plea agreements, many of which have been remarkable in their own right. I also have a notable record of dismissals, as a result of search or confession challenges under the Fourth and Fifth Amendments. Most importantly I can be reached 24/7 – I believe that if you spend your money on an attorney you should have access to him at all hours of the day. Therefore, I give all my clients my cell phone number so I can be reached any day at any time. Since 2001, I have devoted my law practice to defending people against criminal charges in Federal and State Court of Florida, concentrating on Broward, Palm Beach and Dade County
