As a little boy, all I wanted was to be wherever my dad was. I didnt understand what a lawyer was, I didn't care. Eventhough I was in them, I didnt understand what courtrooms were, I didnt care. I just saw my dad - strong, steady, and larger than life - and to me, that made him a superhero.
My dad, George W. Weaver, built this practice more than 40 years ago. He believed your reputation should be earned, not advertised. He never wanted a website, never wanted marketing, and certainly never wanted to be on the internet. In fact, he wouldn't be too thrilled about this post even.
Over time, as I grew older, I began to understand what he was really doing every day. It wasn’t just practicing law. It was carrying the weight of other people’s problems when they were at their most vulnerable. It was standing beside someone when the world felt stacked against them. Sometimes, it was quite literally fighting for someone’s freedom, safety, future, and even their life. I came to understand that responsibility — and those lessons stayed with me.
On June 27, 2024, everything about my life — our office and everything in between — changed when I lost my dad.
This past year has been my first full year carrying that responsibility without him. I’ve taken on every case, every decision, and every obligation with the seriousness he demanded of himself and expected of me. I approach each client knowing what’s at stake for them, because he taught me that no case is “just a case” to the person living it.
I am proud of the legacy my dad built, and I’m committed to honoring it every day — not just in name, but in how this practice operates, how our clients are treated, how our client's cases are handled, and the results we demand not only for our clients, but also ourselves. Anything less wouldn't be acceptable to him - nor is to me.
I don’t share courtroom results lightly, but the three "Not Guilty" verdicts (on all counts) attached to this post matter — not as trophies, but as proof of the responsibility my dad taught me to carry. Every one of those cases involved real people, real fear, and real consequences.
The results come from preparation, resolve, and standing with someone when it would be easier to step aside. That’s how my dad practiced law, and that’s how I do it now.
It turns out, my dad actually was a superhero — and not just the kind a little boy understands at first.
And yes, I guess this post does mean I’m officially putting us on the internet. He probably wouldn’t approve — but I think he’d understand the purpose.
I’m proud of where this practice came from and I am confident in where it’s going. Through it all — the loss and the responsibility that came with it, I'd be the first to tell you that this past year hasn't been without its challenges, but there are somethings that do not change.
Same standards. Same advocacy.
And, we're here to stay. Stay tuned.
