Family Mattters

We retained Edelstein for a very sensitive, costly family manner. He was carefully selected and based on his many years experience, bedside manner and vast knowledge of the matter, it was one of the best decision we've made. Travel, meetings, phone discussions, email correspondence and snail mail... were all the means of communication we've received from Edelstein and his staff. Word of mouth is the best way to recommend a service, and if we had a bull horn we'd let everyone know of Lewis C. Edelstein. The staff of Edelstein are prompt with replies, relay of messages and requests for needed documents. We were never afraid of 'being a forgotten client', which happens so often to long-term clients. Truly, only positive things will come of your relationship with Lewis C. Edelstein and his very competent staff. Being double residents, and NYC not being the primary residence- was a concern. Our minds were put to rest. There was even an instance when we could not make it to court, because of a major airline delay due to weather - boy were we relieved that Edelstein took care of everything at court, without a negative reflection on us. Thank you Lew, and your staff, for all that you've done for our family. Sincerely, The Mattos

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
