Fantastic Lawyer

Michael Weinstein ended up being everything that I could ask for. I researched a couple lawyers and consulted with my top 4 to get an understanding of their approach, what they offer, for what price, and their knowledge and experience with my specific type of case. I met with Michael and got a great ...feeling from him right away. I could tell he completely believed me and would fight to correct my legal issue. His quote was higher than the others but his experience, credentials, accolades, and professionalism really made the difference. Throughout the entire legal process which was well over 18 months he was always a phone call away. Whenever I needed to see him in person he was also available. He's always ready to answer any questions, and showed that he had a full and deep understanding of my case. As well as providing legal guidance he also provided moral support. The case ended with a satisfactory result and I would recommend Michael Weistein very highly to anyone in need of his services.

Michael is an outstanding Lawyer and really cares about his clients. My case was certainly not the most complex or important legal matter that Michael was working on, however he understood that to me how critical critical the case was to me personally. He is extremely responsive and kept me inform...ed throughout the entire process as my case took over a year to be resolved. I had a case that went to trial and Michael was superb in the courtroom. His preparation, knowledge, commitment, and effort was instrumental in the correct verdict of not guilty being rendered. I would without hesitation recommend Michael D Weinstein as the only attorney that you should contact should you need a criminal attorney for either a small or large complex manner.

Professional, expedited, and personalized legal service

I retained Michael for a simple license suspension issue, however, it had become a bit complicated. I moved out of Florida and recently sold the vehicle related to this matter. I originally contacted numerous "Ticket Clinic" type law firms to handle this DL suspension problem. Not only was their staf...f unprofessional, but they clearly didn't understand my situation. I was basically told I would have to fly down to FL to finalize my reinstatement. They would not be able to help in that aspect. I finally contacted Michaels' firm. His wonderful staff understood my situation and got the ball rolling immediately. I was assured that a flight down to FL was not necessary. Not only did I receive extremely expedited legal results (license reinstated in less than 24 hours,) but his paralegal kept me fully informed every step of the way. Although they are clearly an experienced and seasoned criminal defense firm (Google them,) I was in awe by their personalized and professional service when it came to my irresponsible license problems. If only there were more firms out there like this. Michael and his paralegal make excellent team and were truly a pleasure to work with.

Fantastic Lawyer for DUI Case, Got Serious Charges Dropped

Michael has been absolutely amazing. I am a full time mom and full time medical student who found myself in a very serious situation when facing a DUI charge from a car accident. I was unable to make all the many court appearances as there was no possible way for me to miss clinical rotations at hosp...itals. Michael appeared in my defense multiple times over the long course of a year so that I could continue school and clinicals but still be making headway in my case. Michael ultimately got all the charges dismissed and everything was DROPPED! His staff in the office always returned my calls and processed all situations when I had to leave the state on short notice with regards to pre-trial intervention permission and court permissions. I would not have made it through school and obtained my degree without his help. He fought hard and made valid points in the case that ultimately lead to the final judgement and it being dropped. If it were not for his savvy knowledge of the law and positive relationships with the judges and state prosecutors I highly doubt the outcome of my case would have been so favorable. I am forever grateful for his help and would come to him with any legal situations in the past. In my experience you typically get what you pay for and I can say with confidence that hiring Michael Weinstein was one of the best investment I have made for my future career and the welfare of my family. If you need serious legal help this is the guy you want on your side!

A lawyer who cares

I have never written a review for anything or anyone, I felt compelled to write this one for Michael Weinstien. About a year ago my son was arrested on 2 counts of battery and 1 count of criminal mischief. One of the battery charges was a felony with up to 7 years in prison if convicted. Of course ...my son was innocent, he just needed his day in court to prove it. Michael only made one promise and no predictions. His promise was to work as hard as possible to prove my son innocence. From day one Michael kept his promise. In court he was prepared, confident and organized the delivery of his argument in such a way that it was easy for the jury to retain the information. Michael returns calls and emails quickly, I never felt like our case was not important to him. My son was found not guilty. In a world thats gone crazy where people generally don't care about anyone but themselves, Im lucky to have crossed paths with Michael Weinstein. I hope I never need his services again, but if I do ill know that ill be in good hands because he cares
