Posted by anonymous | July 03, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Mesothelioma & Asbestos

An asbestos lawyer with a big heart!

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.

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.
