Do not hire this man!

If you are looking for an attorney it's important-don't hire this man. He disregarded our wishes, left my minor in a very bad position because he didn't like the pleas we agreed to. He was unreachable and barely performed any work. When he did it was usually wrong. He is arrogant and disrespectful bu...t was also grossly negligent. I have actually filed a grievance against him with the Florida Bar.

"I should have made this endorsement long ago, but it is one of those "I'll do it later" situations. Now, let me state precisely why I endorse Mr. Feurstein: First, I sympathize with him. His last name is probably mangled more than my own (I don't know how many times people have called me "Mr. Dillinger"). Second (and seriously), his criminal defense answers are superb. He actually answers questions, and he does so with specificity. That's admirable and should probably count as pro bono service. I don't know if he has endorsed me--I don't pay attention to such things--yet I hope he thinks my answers are decent. He has been practicing since 1987, and when a senior attorney agrees with my answers, I appreciate the affirmation. I certainly learn from his."

"That Mr. Feuerstein takes the time out of his days to answer questions is amazing -as most of us know, an attorney's time is money. Mr. Feuerstein demonstrates a level of experience, knowledge, and genuine love of the law that is truly impressive. I learn from Mr. Feuerstein as a fellow lawyer and always look forward to reading his responses. I highly recommend him."

"I have answered nearly 7,000 questions on AVVO and in so doing I see a lot of other lawyer's answers. Mr. Feuerstein is as diligent and dedicated an AVVO answerer as I have seen. He is responsive and responsible, knowing the law and taking the time to explain it to the Asker. I don't know the man personally but I find myself agreeing with him almost universally, and on that basis alone I am quite comfortable in endorsing him."
