Here JmG -Great lawyer Dave is a good down to earth guy and he tells you the thing the way it is …

I highly recommend Scott Weinberg for legal representation. He is knowledgeable, dedicated, and worked very hard on my case. I was able to be heard and I am very pleased with the outcome. Thank you, Scott!

I hired Scott for legal representation and he went above and beyond to help me out! Highly recommend, best in Charlotte county!

Excellent attorney, always prepared and effective.

Terrible attorney. Period. The dude flat out lies. Upon hiring him, I very clearly and specifically detailed my desire for open communication and being semi involved, i wanted to know exactly what steps he was taking on my case and the avenues he planned on approaching the case from. He was very appeasing and accommodating during our initial phone conversation and assured me that he would do just that. Well upon paying him, in full, $7500 for a third degree felony charge he proceeded to not contact me even once and didn't return many many calls for over 8 months. Can't imagine he was particularly proactive on my case. So I began to "build a defense." (I use the term loosely) As I researched the case and charges, I began seeing gaping holes in the prosecutions chances for a conviction. As I presented these things to him, he IMMEDIATELY dismissed them....only to attempt to contact me 3-4 months later with attempts at presenting my avenue of approach as his own newly formed ideas. Kind of embarrassing (for him) to be honest. He initially purported himself to be some kind of trial lawyer of some repute....but he's not. I wouldn't even consider him necessarily competent. He's a decent salesman I will give him that; but salesmen by nature (much like lawyers, I guess) are dishonest and manipulative, so I don't count or consider that a positive thing. 2 years into my case he spoke to me (outside of 45 second status reviews AT COURT) approximately 4 times. And had to be chased down to get that. At some point during the preceeding months he decided to run for a publicly appointed position as Judge. To some that may be a testament to his ability or capacity, but let me assure you whole heartedly and with full confidence that it is absolutely NOT. My issue with his decision is that it takes a great amount of time and energy and resources (attention planning focus coordinating rubbing elbows etc) toward his new venture. Essentially disregarding the things of his past, like the cases he was handling. And that's exactly what he did. He handled my case. He did not work on it nor attempt to defend me. Maybe he didn't like or agree with me. I personally don't care. When I went to him the final time he and gave him the most basic, and also the most solid defense, that was cited directly in the charges case logs or whatever, he said and I quote "I don't know, I'll just have to take your word for it..." he didn't appear to read anything on the charge except maybe the very first citation because that was the ONLY point he referenced multiple times. Anyways if you've made it this far I can assume you are intentionally attempting to educate yourself on the type of attorney you may be hiring. Please do not employ this man. He is not objective. He is not very intelligent. He's a scam artist. He misrepresented the offers to me from the state. Multiple times. To clarify what I mean, the state made an offer that consisted of xyz; it was presented to me by Michael Powell in the form of "if the state had an offer it would be 'like' a,b,c" only to find out that the state DID in fact have an offer that SPECIFICALLY consisted of a, b, and c. I know it sounds unimportant but in a profession exclusively based around language and phrasing and terminology, to have the person responsible for defending my life and freedom misrepresent idea based on words and language and phrasing seems either intentional or out of ignorance. Neither of which will be beneficial to anyone seeking his services. Please do yourself a favor and stay away from this guy if you want an opportunity at a good defense. I'm sure I could add more and go into greater detail and share some other personal ideas or observations but I believe I accurately covered the main points, I appreciate anyone who has taken the time and attention to attempt to learn what they are getting into. Again, do not hire this guy. I am from out of state and any public defender would have produced the same results in a worst case scenario.

mr powell is very decent man i have had to deal with him on more than one occasion and he work with me i am grateful to you mr powell and i will support you, thank you

She is by far one of the best lawyer's I have spoke with about my case, even though it was not in her scope of practice she took time to listen and help me and my wife through difficult times. Her networking was a God sent and we are Lucky to have been able to talk to her. Thank you so much for listening and doing whatever you could possible to help us, it is greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Scott Weinberg is knowledgeable, excellent and professional. I have had the pleasure of knowing him 10+ years and it is always a pleasure seeing him and referring him to anyone who finds themselves in need of a dedicated and passionate lawyer. Congratulations on your success and your next venture - VOTE Scott Weinberg for Charlotte Co. Judge (August 20th 2024)
