Charlotte Kingsley Weinstein

First of all, the attorney is not very good at communication. She doesn't reply to client's e-mails, she'll instead write letters, then have it scanned by her assistant and send by email the next day but she won't reply directly to client's e-mails. She does conveniently use e-mail when she needs to ...reach client urgently for clarification but will not answer anything the client wants to clarify quickly over e-mail. Important case material is not forwarded to client for days at times. Since she doesn't work on Fridays, that added to my case getting delayed just due to lack of communication between me, her and the opposing counsel. Before I hired her, she sounded as though, if the case demanded, she'll work even on Fridays and weekends to get the job done but that's a complete lie as it hasn't happened once in 6 months. I sent her over 20-30 e-mails during the case asking for case updates and how I wanted to settle the case, the issues I needed clarification on or any suggestions I had. Of those 30 e-mails maybe she responded to 5 of them. Only way to reach her is to book a phone or in-person appointment and sometimes she may not be available for days. When you talk to her, the least you expect is for her to have read your e-mails and questions. But she has no clue what you are talking about on the phone because she hardly reads any client e-mails -- then you have to explain her all over. Regarding the case itself, I asked her to add one or two lines to the draft of final judgment, but, as usual she missed reading that e-mail or may have even deliberately ignored taking my suggestion into account and forwarded it to the other party and they signed it. When I asked about it later, she says "it's already done, sorry, cannot be modified now!" Given all the above issues, I honestly cannot recommend her to anyone. For $350/hr you will get a lot of good, patient and down-to-earth lawyers who actually listen to what the client says and solve clients' problems the way the client wants it.

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!
