Child Support
I hired Charlotte for my child support case that was getting out of hand from the mother of my children. She navigated me through the entire process and to my surprised my child support was lowered to a payment I could afford and that was fair for both parties and we restructured my visitation and parental rights that was more fair and I received more time with my son. I would definitely use her again!

A God Send
Charlotte is absolutely amazing! She took on my case which was extremely complex and difficult. She kept me in the loop and kept me from losing my mind. My ex was trying to take everything from me; custody, assets, money, retirement, lawyer fees, alimony, you name it and my ex was after it. Charlotte was able to fight for my rights as a father and secured 50/50 custody, ensured I got a fair child support, saved my assets, and most importantly saved my retirement. Without her expertise and tenacity I would have lost everything.

Child custody and child support
Charlotte is a very strong and professional attorney. She listens and truly cares about my concerns as a mom. She is very aggressive and knows the law. I have been working with her for about a year and I have full confidence in her. I highly recommend Charlotte.

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 what 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.

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 THE 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.

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 the 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.

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.

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 the 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.

Outstanding!
I hired Mrs. Weinstein for my child custody case two years ago and she exceeded my every expectation. She was personable, intelligent, well-organized, fast-thinking and extremely knowledgeable. I was amazed by how much detail she used and how relentless she was to ensure the best possible outcome for my daughter. This was a really difficult time in my life and both Charlotte and her assistant Melody made me feel so comfortable and confident with the process. I will forever be thankful for everything Charlotte and Melody did for me and my daughter.

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 really 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 status and updates and made me feel very comfortable that I was in good hands. I highly recommend her.
