Arthur Robert Winstein

My father ended up with cancer. He didn't have a Will, Power of Attorney, Living will etc. At this point my father was in the hospital waiting on his first chemo treatment. I wasn't sure where to go or what to do. I checked around with some friends and they all said to call Art. I called him and expl...ained our situation. He made arrangements to come to the hospital and meet with my father and get all of the necessary documents that we needed. He was very professional. He made this very difficult time in our lives a little bit easier. I would refer him to anyone that needs a lawyer.

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.
