Dan has always handled my legal issues and when something arouse that could literally change my life, it was a no brainer to stick w/ the tried and true Dan Weisenburger. I've NEVER seen an attorney put so much personal, time, effort and compassion into what he does. Not only will he likely get you out of trouble, but my experiences talking with him it seems most are resolved with the FIRST FEE he charges! How many attorneys can say that!??! I was wrongfully charged and got charges dropped!! This can be both good in bad in an attorney as I've seen in the past with a public defenders and lower quality paid ones, they get your money then just plea you out at the first offer from the prosecutor. Dan always was a straight shooter with offers. Pretty much would tell me whats on the table, what chance we have of doing better fighting it and the risks that come with not taking the offer. No joke, on this last case I could have done jail time. That means no kids, no work, no passing go or collecting a dime let alone 200 bucks. I was 100% innocent and without Dans insanely genius tactics and overall strategy I guaranteed would be typing a bad review on a different attorney from jail. (if you can do that? thankfully dan kept me out so I don't know!! Normally I'm not one to do reviews but I'll be 100% honest who isn't hesitant to pay a retainer on an attorney you don't know. I'm typing this up to remove all doubt that you WILL get your moneys worth. I would have without question paid him DOUBLE to represent me again. Thats how confident I am . If I pulled an OJ or Aaron Hernandez, best believe I'd be still using Dan!! lol To sum this sermon up, I have done my research about bar testing, state certifications and trial history. I found out most attorneys aren't even Board Certified!!?! When it comes to courts, they are paving roads and paying their over inflated staff / judge salaries. They stay in business by trying to make you lose and can cause you undue hardships for the rest of your life. They don't care about anything but the bottom line. Don't go unprepared or w/ a second rate attorney with a good catch phrase. Even if you're unsure as I was at first. I'm pretty sure he still does a free consultation. Just sitting down talking to him you'll see like I did his compassion for helping his clients.

We hired Dan Weisenburger and his legal team for a criminal matter. I can truly say when you are faced with a criminal charge of a significant matter, the last thing that you want to worry about is if your legal team can handle it, well I can say without any hesitation we did not have to worry. The first time I saw Dan in the courtroom I knew was no novice to the courtroom, and he has his hand on every case, and he has experienced attorneys that work with him. They will answer the hard questions , not telling you what you want to hear but what is best for you. Would like to say GO WITH THE BEST, and you won't regret it. I would also like to say Francois the paralegal, and the other staff are great. They specialize in taking every case personal .

I was arrested back in July for petty theft. After my Arrest I hired Dan. He was amazing throughout the process of this entire situation. He did everything I wanted and said he was going to do. He fought for me. He was super easy to talk. Especially through emails. He knew the judge very well. After waiting 79 days for a Walmart video he filed a sanctioned against them and the Police department. The day of Court September 29th he came to me at 10:30 and said all my charges where Dismisssed. No video nothing. Not even a witness. I literally gave dan a hug and thanked him so much for doing what he did. His firm is easy to work with also. Accepting payment options and everything. Not only did he save me from going to jail he saved me from having to switch my career all around. He’s very affordable too. I HIGHLY recommend Dan to anyone.

I was charged with something that would have been the end of my drivers license, career and potentially had me sitting in a jail cell. I was terrified. Dan was absolutely AMAZING. Most attorneys I've worked with (not all as a customer) over the years tend to only care about the final bill and anything in between is just "the judges fault". Dan was super personable and very easy to talk to. He understood my concerns and you could tell he cared just from his expressions and overall demeanor. As I was explaining my side of the story, you could just see the wheels turning as he was going through the scenario along with me. He was able to completely get the charges dropped and left the prosecutor who was just itching to add one more conviction to her belt standing there w/ her mouth wide open. End of the day our court systems are cess pools of corruption. The prosecutors are in bed w/ the officers who charge people and they all somehow manage to drink at the same bars. They are all against you and the only way to give yourself a chance is by getting someone who speaks their language. I'm the type that doesn't pay for labor for ANYTHING. I wouldn't however even consider walking into a court room w/o Dan by my side. Not to mention he's much more affordable than the lionshare of FAR less experienced attorneys!

Attorney Weisenburger has helped me over the last few years on everything from a DUI to a DUS. I have a heavy foot unfortunately. Both him and his paralegal Francois are very knowledgeable, patient, and consistent. Will be asking Attorney Weisenberger for help should a mishap ever happen again.

Mr. Weisenburger is hands down very experienced, and knowledgeable. Without a doubt I was confident in his abilities. I was so thankful that he represented me. He has a very calm demeanor, and took the time to review every detail of my case. He was able to answer any questions that I had and was very thorough when reviewing all the evidence, and case facts. I was treated with respect and I felt he truly cared about my situation. I was very pleased with the outcome of my case and I will always be greatful for his work and assistance. Also, just a side note, his staff was exceptionally quick with getting back to me when I had questions or concerns. Thank you again!

Mr. Weisenburger helped me in a driving under suspension case a few weeks back and I am more than satisfied with the outcome. I knew the minute I stepped into the lobby of his office that I was dealing with a very professional firm. The entire staff was courteous and, above all, knew how to handle my anxiety with kindness and understanding. Mr. Weisenburger is extremely knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable with the process. I was confident I was getting the best advice and that helped me make the best decision. He patiently answered all my questions and explained the situation in details in a way I could relate to. He put a strong defense for me in the courtroom. I highly recommend Mr. Weisenburger to anyone in need of a great attorney.

I acquired a OVI w/misdemeanor pot possession charge, 1st offense. Atty W and his staff worked this case for 5 months. My priorities were how to deal with current and future employment concerns at my age with a drug charge on record and long term financial effects on retirement through increased auto insurance rates with a OVI on record. These were the 2 objectives Atty W sought to minimize. My case was finalized this year (2014) through the court system a year after the charge was brought. The end results that Atty W was able to accomplish were a reduced charge to Physical Control from OVI (since my motorcycle wasn't running and I wasn't actually operating it at the time I was contacted by the police), and a drop of the charge of possession. I was totally satisfied with the outcome. The total ordeal cost me about $4K (attorney plus the other court mandated requirements). I had always hoped I'd never have to be involved with the legal system and attorneys in this capacity, mostly because I never really felt comfortable that the system worked; courts, attorneys, or otherwise. Figured the best thing is just don't get involved. I let a bit of mid-life crisis get out of control. I've reined that in. Atty W is a quiet unassuming personality, sharp looking professional presentation to the court system, and does a lot of work behind the scenes. The Weisenburger staff is very professional and friendly. There are many pros to the Weisenburger Law Office. There was one con for me though; and that was a bit of a lack of communications. There were long periods of time that I didn't get any comms, even when closing in on important court dates. I'd have to call and start inquiring about the status. One time I was misinformed by the staff about a court procedure for acquiring work driving privileges that cost me a day's work. There were times during my case that I felt nothing was going to be able to be done with the charges, and maybe that's why I wasn't being contacted. It was very stressful not hearing something for extended periods of time. I believe that should be looked at for future clients. If needed I would use again and recommend Atty Weisenburger and his staff.
