Michael Weinstock

Two years ago, my father was diagnosed with Mesothelioma, a rare cancer caused by asbestos. He was a FDNY firefighter for 29 years and also he did "side jobs" helping friends, and friends of friends, with construction projects. After his diagnosis, we started researching lawyers who specialized in th...is field. My sister's friend told us about Michael Weinstock.  We contacted Michael and we were immediately impressed by his optimistic nature.  Michael flew to Florida to meet with us and were were all impressed with his knowledge of the law and his warm personality.  Michael told us exactly what to expect and how long the lawsuit process usually takes, from beginning to end.  His candor was refreshing.  Sadly, we lost my father last year.  Nonetheless, I was pleasantly surprised, when the first checks started arriving.  My father was able to hold the first of the proceeds checks from one of the companies that Michael helped us recover. All he said was, "I am stunned." He was almost brought to tears. My father was initially reluctuant about contacting a lawyer.  I am so glad we did.  Most importantly, I will always remember the way my father's eyes lit up, whenever Michael's name was mentioned. 

I'll start by explaining how I met Counselor Weinstock... I had a terrible lapse in judgment while dealing with a personal crisis and was being charged with a DWI. This was my second in 9 years and I was looking at jailtime, a felony, and probation. The most devestating to my personal and profession...al career would be the jail time; 6 months. From the start the my case was at the least, near impossible to obtain the disposition of community service in leu of the jailtime I most desperately sought to avoid. I was not looking to shirk my debt for violating the law, just repay in a manner not crippling to my future. Couselor Weinstock went over my goals with me and( very accurately in hindsight) and gave me the realistic outlook of what to expect. His preparation and honest, brass tax assessment of my case reflected not only a man of integrity and character, but of wisdom, and resourcefulness. He outlined what was to come, our strategy for my defence, and realistic expectations for an outcome. I knew always what was happening, any developments or progress made, and never felt afraid or unsure of what the standing was of my case. Due to his diligence, and determination, a plea with NO, ... NO jailtime was reached. Without him, I would have been lost in the seemingly overwhelming legal system, or left wanting for a proper defender. Counselor Weinstock worked with me emotionaly, finacialy, and sincerely every step of my journey. He obtained the oportunity for me to rebuild my life and make the happy, healthy, law abiding future I desire. I would recommend him, absolutly to anyone in need of proper legal defense, and a non judgmental, non biased legal proffessonal.

Michael Weinstock defended me for a felony DWI and Leandra's Law. During a long, painful process he treated me with respect and kindness. He gave me immediate time and attention when I had concerns. My case was resolved to the best of his abilities, something even the judge noted. I highly recommend ...him.

Being involved with the New York court system for the first time as a result of an arrest was a daunting experience for me. Mr. Weinstock put me at ease immediately after our first consultation. He is knowledgeable, upfront, resolute and extremely organized. He deliberately and patiently went beyond... his call of duty to help me cope with the stress resulting from my case and thoroughly educated me about the law and how it works in my particular situation. His performance in and out of court was stellar and I am fortunate to have retained his services. I cannot say enough about the value of hiring a well-qualified, experienced, and well-connected attorney who cares for his clients and his job to the extent Mr. Weinstock does. I could not have been better represented and I proudly give Mr. Michael Weinstock my highest recommendation.

Michael Weinstock represented my daughter after she was arrested for drunk driving. He not only did an absolutely extraordinary job while in court, but he also took the time to assist our entire family during a very challenging experience. I told Michael that I believe he has the ideal personality ...and background to assist families after a young person has been arrested. My wife and I were absolutely terrified when we learned that our twenty-two year old daughter had been arrested after a car accident. Michael was recommended through a friend and he met us at the courthouse only a few hours after I called him. Nobody in our family has ever been arrested before and Michael took the time to explain the process from beginning to end. While he was careful not to make promises, I immediately knew that we were in very experienced hands. The judge released our daughter without any bail and within three days, Michael had conducted a second hearing and convinced a different judge to grant our daughter a driver’s license that allowed her to drive to her job. The entire case was resolved much sooner than I anticipated. I strongly recommend Michael Weinstock to any person who has been arrested; especially for drunk driving. His years spent at the DA’s office, combined with his good-humor and compassion, helped make a difficult experience far more bearable.
