Child Support

I hired Charlotte for my child support case that was getting out of hand from the mother of my children. She navigated me through the entire process and to my surprised my child support was lowered to a payment I could afford and that was fair for both parties and we restructured my visitation and p...arental rights that was more fair and I received more time with my son. I would definitely use her again!

A God Send

Charlotte is absolutely amazing! She took on my case which was extremely complex and difficult. She kept me in the loop and kept me from losing my mind. My ex was trying to take everything from me; custody, assets, money, retirement, lawyer fees, alimony, you name it and my ex was after it. Charl...otte was able to fight for my rights as a father and secured 50/50 custody, ensured I got a fair child support, saved my assets, and most importantly saved my retirement. Without her expertise and tenacity I would have lost everything.

Disgraceful Performance - Charlotte Weinstein

I consulted Charlotte Weinstein for my divorce. She appeared to listen attentively and took copious notes about my situation. She told me she intended to get back to me with a draft separation agreement within the week. I left her office feeling confident and hopeful. The week passed. I heard nothing.... Then more weeks passed with no communication from Charlotte. I emailed her several times, politely requesting status of the draft agreement. Finally, two months later she emailed me what was clearly a boilerplate separation agreement that had not one thing to do with my situation, despite all the notes she had taken at the consult. The draft was in full-blown lawyerese, and there were gaps in sections where sentences just trailed off. I was then expected to invest time and money into trying to salvage her unconscionably abysmal work. At over $400 an hour, the corrections would easily have run into the thousands. I had had enough and realized it was time to cut my losses. I fired her and engaged an excellent, attentive attorney at a firm in Annapolis. Charlotte did not refund even a portion of my retainer, so it was a costly lesson. Don’t make the same mistake.

Mean, Scared of my Ex, abandoned me!

Absolutely do not recommend this attorney. I’m shocked at her reviews, maybe she scared people into submission. Not kidding- I’ve actually Never left a bad review before but this woman is scary. It’s taken me seven years to actually tell this story because she is so threatening. After my husband aban...doned me she actually dropped my case in the middle of everything!!
