He believes that all individuals accused of a crime are entitled to a fair and competent defense.

He knows that the client’s case is the only case that matters to that client and he always has that in mind. He is dedicated to achieving the best outcome for each individual case.

Attorney Weinberg’s is skilled at creating a story about each person he represents and how it relates to that person’s case. The story enables him to separate his client from the many others who appear before the court.

By focusing on the uniqueness of the client and the case, Mr. Weinberg turns an abstraction into a reality with a real person’s life in the balance.
