I very lucky but also very smart for hiring the right lawyer

One of the best decisions I have made in my adult life was to hire Michael for my drinking and driving incident. It was not looking good for me. I was drunk and I had side swiped a police car. Needless to say they took me in immediately. I thought I was going to prison for sure and never be able t...o drive again. But luckily for me I hit a very understanding officer and called the right lawyer. Michael not only came all the way from Long Island to NYC on a Friday night. But he stayed many hours to make sure my case got heard and that my bail(which he posted for me) got processed. Throughout my case Michael not only showed up to all of my court dates but he made sure that I was being treated fairly and doing everything I had to do to keep me out of jail. I ended up walking away from this nightmare with not even probation. Just an alcohol education class and some fines. I know for a fact that if I had not retained the services of Mr. Weinstock I would've likely spent time in prison and lose my driving privileges. If you every get caught in a DUI situation in the NY there is only one lawyer you should call Michael Weinstock Hands down.

Trustworthy Lawyer

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.

Michael Weinstock's trial experience alone sets him apart from those with little or no trial experience.

Thank G-d I had Michael Weinstock represent me after my arrest for DWI. He always returned my telephone calls the same day and took my case very, very seriously. He worked tirelessly to get a decent plea offer and when the DA's office refused, he told them that he was "Ready for trial." Sure enoug...h, Michael picked a jury and got a verdict of "Not Guilty." I would recommend him 100%.
