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.

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.
