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.

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.

Attorney

With about twelve hours notice I reached out to Michael Weinstock and told him that my company needed a lawyer for an emergency hearing in Suffolk County. Michael immediately accepted the matter and was able to appear in court despite an already heavy workload. He thoroughly prepared for the hearin...g and conducted great research, including finding the adversary's deleted website. Michael succeeded and persuaded the judge to resolve the matter well before lunch. Michael saved my company a substantial amount of money and corroborated my belief that he is an incredibly effective and skilled lawyer.

Dependable, trustworthy, and top quality services

Mike was upfront and open about all matters. He was easy to reach and achieved my desired outcome, despite a curveball or two being thrown his way. Highly recommended for all your legal needs.

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.
