Typrice Freeman | January 3, 2022:

I was facing 26yrs to life for a suspect of a 187, for 16 months incarcerated full of lies from authorities. Mr Weaver represented as my attorney and gave 100% effort into my case and prove my innocence beyond reasonable doubt. He is excellent in his knowledge of case studies and law. Outstanding in representation, defending, cross examining, articulate, intellectual, family oriented and great decision maker when it comes to law. Mr Weaver also stayed in touch with my family and mother while I was incarcerated for 16 months as well visiting me in jail and he explain to me if I had any questions or suggestions about anything don’t hesitate to ask. He fought for my innocence, freedom, family and civil rights with compassion. Never doubted me as a client and listened to suggestions I had towards my case. He is best in murder cases with great closing and we’ll respected as a lawyer. Best choice for you if you find yourself being accused of murder you did not commit. It takes about 2yrs to beat a murder case Mr Weaver did it in 16 months. I was found not guilty of 1st degree murder, 2nd degree murder, manslaughter, and hung jury on involuntary manslaughter then within 3 more months found not guilty right before thanks giving now Im back home with my family and my son for the holidays. Thank you Mr Weaver you save my life from injustice and racism in these hard times for us. God bless you and your family. This is the lawyer for you look no further.
