Mr. Weimer called then emailed offering a free consultation since I missed the call. so I knew something was different from other lawyers or firm I contacted. When we talk he was very knowledgeable, easy to speak to, and offering sound advices. He blew me away when he then emailed a very detailed run down of our call including a very caring option that I was praying for. Definitely recommended!

Carley and Hunter helped me with my case for almost two years. They were very professional and listened to every detail. All of my questions were always answered and they answered or returned all calls or emails about any concerns or issues. I highly recommend using them for any of your needs.

Robert was recommended to me by a friend. His short consultation (20 minutes exactly) was very professional, thorough, informative, and most importantly POSITIVE! Although Robert Weimer wasn’t able to assist me (he does not practice in MS), he gave me guidance on how to obtain counsel immediately! He didn’t waste my time, he didn’t cut corners, and he is definitely not afraid! I’ve heard more from Robert Weimer in 20 minutes than I’ve heard from 2 lawyers in 3 years!!!

I had a custody case that started almost 10 years ago. Robert Weimer took my case and was helpful every step of the way. If I ever needed help I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to Robert again. Thank you all so much for all your hard work!

I was so scared, concerned and three states away from my sister in a nursing home. I was afraid a family member was not taking good care of her. My husband and I reached out to Gary Brown and began a relationship that took care of my sister’s situation. He was so professional yet understanding to me, even when my emotional state was frantic at times. I cannot thank him enough for his availability and communication with me during a truly difficult time in my life. I will be forever grateful.

Robert Weimer IV helped me with a legal matter. I would highly recommend him and use him again in the future if needed. His services were very reasonable in cost as well. I live in Texas and would recommend him to anyone that I know here or in Louisiana that needs a competent attorney.

Carley Distefano helped me through the process of my divorce She listened to every single one of my concerns, and gave me options. She represented to me in court, and changed her line of questioning so I wouldn’t have to answer painful questions on the stand. She checked in on me during the process to see where I was mentally, and I felt that small gesture went above the business transaction of lawyer/client. It showed to me that she understood that there were lives that go beyond printed words on legal paper that gets filed.

I reached out to Gary Brown at Brown Weimer and he has been immensely helpful and patient with all my question as I try to wrap my head around estate planning for my father. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Robert Weimer helped me with a custody case. It was obviously a sensitive family matter and he was so respectful and patient with all parties, and he was even thoughtful about my expenses. It was a difficult and stressful time, and I am so grateful to have had him guide me through it and ultimately end up with the result I wanted. I happily refer him to friends, family, and clients whenever I can.
