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.

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!

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.

A great attorney & great results

Ms. Weinstein is truly a wonderful attorney to have on your side. She knew exactly how to approach my case and plain and simple, she got things done. After the initial consultation I was truly impressed by her knowledge and outline she recommended following, which was a bit different than a few of t...he other attorneys I had spoken to which pretty much asked me “what do you want to go after”. She knows the law very well and approached my case based on what the law would actually allow. I think that other approach allows attorneys to spend needless hours going back and forth on unattainable outcomes, while leaving you with a larger bill. While representing me, I felt like I had the peace of mind I needed to get me through this tough time in my life. She is very firm in her negotiations and was very aggressive in the courtroom. It was a delight seeing my ex getting picked apart on the stand as he was caught in multiple lies. It felt as if the courtroom was a chess match, and Ms. Weinstein was able to think 5 steps ahead. I highly recommend her, not only for what she did in the courtroom, but also for being a very fair and ethical attorney. I was not hit with any surprise fee’s, over charges, or anything of that nature. In one of the toughest times of my life, it was a blessing to have Ms. Weinstein represent me.

Opinions can be changed

After working with the legal profession for over 25 years, I was certain that attorneys are a necessary evil: they serve their purpose but are best avoided otherwise, and to never ever turn my back on them. I had retained a lawyer to guide me through what's shaping up to be a horrible divorce; that ...layer and I parted company and I was referred to Charlotte Weinstein. There aren't enough characters allowed or adjectives in the language to describe adequately what Charlotte has done for my case, and for me personally. I am now knee deep in this mess, it's not over yet, but even if my philandering spouse wriggles out of his obligations by a twist of fate, I know with certainty that Ms. Weinstein has advocated for me brilliantly. Exceptional situational awareness, remarkable intellect with a tinge of street smart, shrewd, and scrupulously efficient. Charlotte approachs legal matters with laser focus, and her fees are a bargain when I compared her invoices to her work product, there is absolutely no waste of client resources. I have yet to see a "one size fits all" paper, not one scrap of the boilerplate stored on every hacks PC to be spat out when necessary. I am certain I have been somewhat of a challenge as a client, but Charlotte representation includes not only the legal matters but the individuals behind that. She understands the symbiotic relationship of client to case, and knows both components are vital, if one is out of sync the other will not work. I also believe that appearance matters in courts of law, and Charlotte presents every inch a professional; ensemble, presentation, manner. Last but not least Charlotte is patient, excruciating to my type A, but a deadly weapon to unsuspecting opponents, who mistake what they believe to be laissez-faire as weakness, so they boldly continue on the wrong track. When sufficient line has been played out, the noose tightens- the other side never saw it coming. I still will generally distrust the profession, but I now know there exist shining examples of what the legal system is about, and Charlotte exemplifies the best of these principles with grace and absolutely killer style.
