I am so thankful that Michael Weinstock was our lawyer when my dad was diagnosed with Mesothelioma. People think that lawyers are cold and calculating. Michael Weinstock is the exact opposite. He is warm and funny. Most importantly, though, he really cares about his clients and he knows his stuff....

Mr Weinstock answered every question and every concern I had for my relatives case. We were scared when the case began but he resolved the case better than we could have hoped for. I would recommend him for any legal issue.

"I worked with Michael Weinstock at the Brooklyn District Attorneys office. He was not only one of the smartest and most ethical prosecutors around -- but I would frequently see him working in his tiny little office very late at night. Because he took his trial preparation so seriously, he became the trial attorney that the bureau chiefs would approach when they needed someone who was reliable. I strongly endorse him."
"Mr. Weinstock is an outstanding attorney whose diverse experience ensures the highest level of service and professionalism. He has intricate knowledge of criminal law and procedure, particularly regarding DUI/DWI related matters. He is an impeccable advocate and a valuable resource in the legal community. I endorse Mr. Weinstock without equivocation."
"I’ve known Michael for more than 10 years dating back to when we were in law school. I recently observed him in State Supreme Court, and I was pleased to see the hard working young law student I knew then has transitioned into an articulate and earnest litigator. His social skills, good humor, and competence combine to make him to make an exceptional attorney, and he’s a person I call whenever I have criminal law questions, and carries my highest recommendations."
"I endorse Michael Weinstock with the highest of recommendations. He is a seasoned litigator, negotiator and advocate for his clients. He is a go-to attorney for criminal defense issues and for DUI and DWI issues, among other areas of law. Michael is valued as a speaker and teacher in his areas of law and often lectures to the public, other attorneys, and community leaders. He is always available to give advice and help other attorneys and is highly regarded by his clients."
