Successful Divorce

Charlotte was outstanding in all aspects of representing me in my divorce. She helped me to navigate a difficult situation, always looked out for my best interests, and ensured closure of the case through the obstacles of the COVID-19 crisis. I recommend her as an attorney to anyone seeking excellent... legal representation.

This is who you want!

I was at the lowest point of my life and had an attorney that was failing me miserably. Then a friend recommend Charlotte. The straight forward approach to my problems and the way Charlotte handled my divorce were better then I could have imagined. Charlotte is truly a professional and loves to do wh...at she does. The knowledge and skills she possesses were the key to the outcome my children and I needed. If you want the best of the best Charlotte Weinstein is who you want.

Efficient, Honest & No-Nonsense Attorney!

Charlotte was recommended to me by a Lawyer based out of Vancouver, BC whom he had met at a Conference. I have never required legal services before so this kind of experience for me was new with no expectations. Straight away I was impressed by her no-nonsense, direct approach to my case. She asked t...he right questions, listened to my opinions, understood the approach needed and clearly stated what I needed to do to help her. Over the course of the case (2 months) we touched base once on the progress, and while the conversation was short-lived, she clearly stated how she completes her work, timeframes and what the next-steps were. Being that this case was relatively short compared to others, I was fine to deal with her assistant (Melody) whose communication was unparalleled. All in all, Charlotte got the job done with minimal fuss in an honest manner. I would recommend her to anyone requiring legal services.

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!
