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.... My dad was a mechanic and he owned a small repair shop. He was also a volunteer firefighter. When he was first diagnosed with Mesothelioma we were frightened to death, and we didn’t know what to do. We met Michael through some mutual friends from the Fire Department. Michael spoke to my dad on the phone for almost an hour. That very same day, Michael booked an airline flight. He was sitting at our kitchen table, in Minneapolis, the next afternoon. Michael developed a very special connection with my dad almost immediately. I could tell that my dad enjoyed spending time with Michael. He enjoyed talking about his work and Michael laughed at all of his jokes. We were a little stunned when the first check arrived. It was more money than we expected. I encourage anybody who needs a lawyer to call Michael Weinstock. He is a good lawyer and a good person.

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 reluctant 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.
