The best of the best!
I’ve honestly known and utilized Johnny for almost 8 years now. I met him through my ex who Johnny was representing at the time (who Johnny also helped tremendously) and ever since then I have used him for several cases that I have needed him for. He ALWAYS is there to answer the phone literally no matter how many times you bug him, he is honest, realistic and always works with you. If it wasn’t for Johnny I truly do not know where I would be. Love this man. 10/10 recommend always! Thank you J. Weekes!!!!!!

Not a defense lawyer at all!

He deceived me did not defend me at all had to do my own investigations on my case would not allow me to ask questions. One day I was in his office after 4 months of being on house arrest letting him know I was profiled and my case was absolutely self defense. So he calls the arresting officer right in front of me put him on speaker and just so happens they are practically best friends coach each other's kids and on and on they mostly talked about sports then he asked the officer about my case which the officer laughs and make a jokes saying I had no business in that neighborhood due to my ethnicity. Not knowing that I was in the area due to my wife's mother and other family live at the address I was going to.where I was unlawfully arrested. The arresting officer who unfortunately ended up being best friends with John Weekes the lawyer I hired to defend me ends up protecting the lies on the police report and Mr. Weekes continuously put me off would not listen to my statement and threaten to kick me out his office if I say anything on the day of our meeting when I had requested motions that should be filed. When I proved to him by calling my mother inlaw and verified the address I was arrested at he quickly got defensive due to the lies that the arresting officer made on the report all evidence as far as video cam were on my defense. After 5 months of house arrest and no income with a 7 year old child that I have from my previous deceiced fiancé and court date after court date with the same results every time I was put in a corner there were no victims and the BSO officer "John Weekes" good friend and coaching buddy did not appear in the court on the motions that were filed. The state said it was mandatory that he was there but no show.. So the judge gave him 20 min still no show, the show begins no witnesses,no victims and the arresting officer does not show up for a mandatory statement against me as a witness. As I was sitting there it was very obvious this whole arraignment was staged all they wanted was a conviction and me to plea out at this point. Due to all the sircumstances and dragging out the case which I was clearly the victim on the judge was going to reset a court date well how is that even legal? So my so called defensive lawyer starts negotiating pleas not what I wanted but due to the acting and staged setting I had no choice but to except to do the right thing by my family considering I had no income for five months and going deep into debt. I recommended 3 people to Mr. Weekes which I greatly regret. He will not listen to you he is very rude definitely not a defender more like a crook and works more for the state to make you plea out so you have a conviction. He works for the BSO and the state due to my experience. Also after hiring him I ended up with identity theft and all my emails and social media hacked, which was basically my business and only used social media for family purposes but it was very tragic.

He got all 4 of my charges dropped and got me off probation!

Johnny was the absolute best at handling my Domestic Violence case. My ex-boyfriend managed to get me arrested July 2017 by calling the cops and making a false report that I scratched him on his chest. Once i was released from jail on bond, my ex made 3 other police reports claiming I was making contact with him. When it came to my sentencing October 2017, I was stuck with 4 pending charges, 1 for Domestic Violence and 3 for Violating Pretrial Release. I provided my Public Defender with the evidence to prove my ex has lied. The Public Defender told me even with all my evidence the judge could still decide to put me in Jail for a year so my best option would be to take a "No Contest" plea which would keep me out of jail, but put me on 12 months probation and 6 months anger management instead. I was extremely upset with this because I know I did nothing wrong and no one would listen. So I took the Plea. January I was referred to Johnny to help me with my case, I spoke with him and decided to hire him. Even though I was past the time given to appeal my case, Johnny was able to get the Judge to listen and agree to look at the new evidence I had to provide. FINALLY May 10th 2018, Johnny succeeded in getting ALL my charges as well as probation COMPLETELY VACATED!! I am more than satisfied with what Johnny was able to do for me. For 7 months I struggled with severe anxiety having to deal with a crime I never even committed, not having anyone listen to me. I would use Johnny again and again and again. I recommend him to everyone of you going through any type of criminal issues. He is fantastic! Thank you so much Johnny.

Best Experience
John Weekes Is The Best. He Did His Best To Get My First Criminal Charge Thrown Out. You Tell Him What You Want And He Does The Best To Get Things Accomplished. I Really Appreciate All The Support From Him. One Of The Most Loyal, Layed Back And Funniest Attorney You Could Have Represent You. Thanks John For All Your Supoort.

He's the Greatest.
My fiancé was taken into custody on a warrant in December of 2016 with 11 felony charges. I hired one lawyer who didn't get anything accomplished between December and March in which the time we hired John Weeks and he was nothing but professional and stuck to everything he said he would do. John Weeks got 8 of my husbands felonies dropped and him released all within the same day. If I ever get in trouble or need a lawyer in the future I will definitely re use Mr. Weeks services very professional!!!

John Weekes, what can I say Simple the Best Criminal defense in Miami he listens well and presents your case in the Best possible way and his Results are unbelievable, got Charged with Bulk Cash Smuggling this was all new to John but he did his research and got me the a great sentence under the Guidelines, he was communicative throughout the entire time and visited me every week, he's reasonably Priced but Most Importantly gets great results.

Excellent Lawyer
John Weekes is a blessing ! My first criminal defense lawyer I've ever hired. The professionalism and sense of urgency Mr. Weekes displays makes you feel comfortable. He's humanistic, has a sense of humor, also has an excellent reputation around the court room. Appearance is key and my attorney is keen! Represents for his clients proudly and reassures you every step of the way. Excellent team Mr. Weekes and his secretary work together to find the best resolution for you. I was recommended and I would pass his number on to a friend. My issues were resolved in 48hrs doesn't get any better than that!

Excellent lawyer
John Weekes is a great attorney. I hired him to represent me for an initial trafficking case which carries a 3year minimum prison sentence. The charges filed ended up being reduced and he negotiated with the state and got me probation, no jail time. Mr. Weekes is smart, kind, compassionate, and when he walks into the court room his presence takes over. I would def recommend him.

Johnny is a no nonsense lawyer who knows how to get the job done. He is highly respected by the State Attorney's Office and the local judges. Smart and confident. One of the few colleagues that I can say will actually deliver what he says and not just talk.... I have had the pleasure of working criminal matters with John and as a result can say that I highly endorse this lawyer.
