THE ONE YOU WANT IN YOUR CORNER

I found Charlotte on Martindale Hubbard...her profile fit my situation exactly however, I have had many bait and switch type experiences with multiple attorneys-most fall short! I am a military father of three going through a situation/divorce that you could not dream up. Charlotte has proven to be T...HE FIGHTER and most powerful tool during these times. She has delivered and won, for me, every step of the way. She won't tell you want you want to hear. She will be honest and upfront, yet unafraid to challenge anything/anyone in any venue that threaten the best outcome for her client. I have custody of my three children right now, and had to cross the country to find them/pick them up from their mother. Charlotte achieved and facilitate all of this for me. Simply put, I felt helpless at the beginning. Charlotte turned the tides in my favor and protected the safety of my children and my ability to be a father. The fight isn't over yet, but I feel sure going forward that I hired an apex attorney. Additionally, her entire firm will feel like family and when Charlotte isn't available, her staff and especially her law partner, Dawn, will step in and provide the same level of excellence.

We Needed The Best

Charlotte Weinstein has gone the extra mile to help my son-in-law and I gain emergency custody of my grandchildren who were taken without authorization. Charlotte is a to the point, by the book attorney who wastes no time getting to the truth. She knows what information matters and what not to spend ...valuable time on. She is always ready to answer questions and always calms any fears with her confident responses. She is not surprised by any situation the other party creates. She’s ready to win! We are continuing to work with Charlotte as our situation unfolds. We know she will be dedicated to our needs for the duration. If you need the best, Charlotte is that person.

Thankful for Charlotte

Charlotte is a fantastic ally to have on your side during a divorce or custody case. She helped us through some tough custody issues. There’s no doubt she knows her stuff and will stand tall against the other side when needed. We are grateful for all of her expert advice and representation and wouldn...’t make another move without consulting her first!

She's the best of the best!

Ms. Weinstein is the kind of attorney you definitely want on your side and not the other way around. She's straight forward and tells you exactly what she needs from you in order obtain the best possible outcome for your case. She will tell you what's going to stand out for your case and what will be... irrelevant to the courts. In my situation, in the eyes of the court - I didnt have much of a case - but was fighting for what I strongly felt was in the best interest of my child. Of course, no lawyer can tell you what the outcome of your case will be. However, throughout my entire trial, Ms. Weinstein was by my side with both excellent and more importantly - honest legal advise. She would reassure me when I was overreacting and told tell me if I was under. With not having much of a case to go on, she fought for my child and I until a final decision was made - which was ultimately in our favor. I would recommend Ms. Charlotte Weinstein to anyone needing the best of the best kind of representation. And if you find Charlotte, then congratulations! You just came across the best!

Excellent representation

Ms. Weinstein provided excellent representation for me during what turned into a very contentious a complicated divorce. She worked closely with me on custody issues, particularly in the aftermath of the divorce proceedings. She was thorough, and most importantly, understood the details of the case... and clearly presented the relevant evidence during trial. I would offer an unqualified endorsement of Ms. Weinstein.
