Arthur Robert Winstein

I hired Arthur Winstein to do a simple prima facie case. Everything pretty much laid out for him. In the beginning he almost ruined the case by not simply writing down what the judge had already had written. He very forgetful, couldn't stay on task, arrogant and down lied about what he was going to d...o.. absolutely horrible ! And then in end said he wasn't aware of his wrong doings.. find a different attorney !!

I had a terrible criminal law experience. I would've gotten a better deal with a public defender. I have heard from others he is a great family law attorney, but strongly advise against hiring him for anything else. Specifically, he said he would get police reports and never did, disclosed irrelev...ant, damaging personal information to the prosecutor, and didn't object when the clerks imposed fines and court costs which did not apply to my charge. Basically he did more harm than good.

I would never use Art Winstein again. He is arrogant, dropped the ball on us MULTIPLE times, screwed up everything we asked for and didn't follow through on anything. I would not let this man represent me for a parking ticket!!!! He is unprepared, non professional and very rude even to his own cli...ents. He did not help us out in any way.

Art is VERY unprofessional and did a terrible job! Even though he did my case pro-bono I still would NEVER recommend him! I could've done a better job representing myself. He's very UNPROFESSIONAL and involves himself in his clients personal lives! He's very harassing and I'm not sure how he's still ...in business!

I used Arthur for my divorce in 1995, and was happy with my settlement at the time. However, in 2006 my ex-husband retired, I called the retirement office and was told they didn't have my paperwork. I called Arthur's office and was told by his assistant that they would submit another copy. I waite...d and called repeatedly, but his assistant assured me she sent it out. By now a year has gone by, I tell her to send another copy, as well as send me a copy. A week or 2 later, I receive a newly written, unsigned copy with a note attached that his assistant needs mine and my ex's social security numbers (these were in the original divorce papers). I called and stated that she could have asked on the phone at any time, and why is the QDRO just now being drawn up when they had been telling me for over a year that they were complete and filed. I received no answer to this question. So, he submits the paperwork, however I find out it was a draft and not the one signed by the court. That takes us up to this month, my ex shows up in court and refuses to sign the papers because he doesn't want to pay the last 2 years back to me (though it was my money), he wants a lawyer present and sets a court date for next month to fight having to pay me. So, due to Mr. Winstein's negligence, I may lose my retirement benefits (past and future). Plus, he actually has the gall to be billing me now for his time to clean up the mess that he created and should have been a done deal 13 years ago! It is in the divorce papers, he just "neglected" to file the QDRO.
