Exceptional dedication and service

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.

Put your mind at ease

I met Michael after I was arrested for a DWI. He immediately put me at ease and made it possible for us to form a bond. Michael guided me through the challenges of meeting the obligations necessary to satisfy the state's demands. He was there with me at every court appearance and worked quickly to s...ettle my case minus many restrictions. I highly recommend Michael, as he is an excellent attorney.

Excellent lawyer and person

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.

Great Lawyer and Friend

We never thought a lawyer would be needed by our family; however, my son was arrested for aggravated dwi during his senior year of college. We had no idea about the process, and Michael drove out to our house to give us the picture of what he would be facing. He explained the process clearly, and ...helped us form a plan so that we would know how best to help our son. Michael was unable to get the charges reduced, mainly because of Nassau County policies, even though he gave it his best effort. For several reasons it was around a year before we ended up going to trial. Michael was well prepared for trial and had uncovered several factors, which seemed to indicate things would go our way. He requested copies of documents, took photos, researched case law, came to the house again to prepare my son and his witness for testimony, and provided emotional encouragement and support. He also drafted six different subpoenas, and the judge signed each and every one. During the trial he fought tenaciously for our son, coming up with creative and aggressive cross-examinations, while being respectful of the judge and his fellow attorneys. If you need a lawyer, we would recommend giving Michael a call.
