Firm: The Weingart Firm, PLLC

4500 S Lakeshore Dr Ste 250 , Tempe , Arizona 85282

Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation

I started my career defending people accused of criminal charges,  I lived for the rush of a jury trial and the thrill of going up against the system. As it does though, fate intervened when a close friend of mine got into a nasty custody dispute with his ex-wife. He asked me to step-up as a lawyer and as a friend. At the conclusion of that matter I had found that I had a real talent for Domestic Relations law. It turns out I had the drive and ruthlessness it took to be an effective advocate in the family courts. Sometimes you have to take a few risks, that is what I did. Working with Mark Weingart, my father and mentor, I built up a Domestic Relations subsidiary to the existing Criminal Law firm. I am proud to say that now I have left my own mark on a well known and locally renowned company that my father started over 27 years ago.I enjoy Family Law because the rules are very relaxed and attorneys are afforded a great deal of freedom to handle cases as they see fit; as a proud Libertarian, I appreciate that. I am afforded a unique position in the Weingart Firm, in that while I primarily handle family law matters, I still cover the criminal calendar when I am needed, after all, that's where it all started.
