"Highly recommend Matt Shafran and the entire Weinstein Legal Team! They were able to help me with a speeding ticket and took the aggravation and hassle off of my plate. Would definitely use them again."

"Had first ever offence for petty theft (missed scanning a few items at Target Self-checkout after getting distracted) and Weinstein Legal Team (specifically Mariana and Matt) helped clear up the issue after taking a 4-hour class and fee. Now they are helping me get the case expunged so i can put this behind me for good. Worth the $$$ for peace of mind. Can't thank them enough."

"I called Weinstein legal team to hire a lawyer after my father who was put in custody and given a 2 week reset for a parole violation on a no contact order that the victim stated was receiving unknown calls. The legal team appointed a lawyer out of Fort Lauderdale after I told them the case was in west palm beach. The lawyer Jack Palmeri was very unpleasant to work with, he didn’t try to put a motion for a earlier hearing which was my main concern as the public defenders had it reset for 2 weeks. Additionally the same lawyer I hired was siding with the victim stating “she sounded credible” he seemed bothered and blew me off when I was vulnerable and concerned for my fathers health. I would have been better off staying with the public defender who also stated her claims were weak."

"This crabby old lady was so rude I would never hire anyone that can't let me finish my sentence to my question and saying "Imam im busy" then hangs up on you when I told her I'm going to leave a review. I needed help with paperwork because I didn't want to do it myself with filing with the court I wanted to hire someone else to do it. She interrupts every thing I say and say we are not a process server like duh lady??? Such bad customer service in the beginning I can't even imagine hiring them for an actually case if this is how you treat people. If you're too busy then ok :)"

"My experience with Matthew & his team were nothing short of amazing!! I reached out to him last minute regarding my husband’s case letting him know our situation and how important it was to have him home. He assured me a timeframe that he would be able to make it happen & he definitely delivered. Not only did my husband get to home early but ALL of his charges were dismissed/disposed. Thank you so much Matthew I will continue to spread the word about you and vouch for you!"
