Outstanding Attorney

Charlotte and her assistant, Melody are great team. Recently, with only two days notice they were there for me, protecting me during one of the most difficult days in my life. Charlotte's performance in court was flawless. Mel is great with of the office matters and email correspondence which I re...ally like since that is my preferred method of communications. I trust them implicitly.

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.

Fantastic attorney!!!

I had an EXCELLENT experience with Charlotte Weinstein, she and her staff did a phenomenal job for me. I can't say enough about the attention to detail and care with which they handle my child custody case. I will continue to refer Charlotte to anyone that has a family law issue.

Outstanding Knowledge and Service

Charlotte is one of the best attorneys I have ever worked with. Her quick understanding of the case and ability to get the job done with the absolute best outcome for her clients is beyond reproach. Unlike a lot of attorneys I have dealt with she goes out of her way to constantly communicate with sta...tus and updates and made me feel very comfortable that I was in good hands. I highly recommend her.

The Best in the Business

I have know Charlotte for several years! She is by far one of the best attorneys ever admitted to the bar. She is experienced, knowledgeable, compassionate and can be that bulldog in the courtroom when you need it most. I have had opposing counsel back off of cases when they find out Charlotte Weinst...ein is on the case and representing the other side. So, it's simple, if you want the best and more importantly if you want to win, give Charlotte Weinstein a call!
