The Weinstein Group’s transparent and collaborative approach to resolving disputes or planning in order to avoid disputes, allows clients to feel part of the process for which they are so invested. Our reputation and experience are two reasons TWG is often retained, but equally important is our reliance upon open client communication which often leads to the formation of proactive and creative strategies that have a greater probability of success. Our focus on client service includes:

 

  • Attention to successful collaboration which, in turn, provides our attorneys with the tools they need in order to proactively craft and zealously execute strategies resolving the disputes and attending to the needs of our clients

  • Loyally serving the client’s needs while maintaining high ethical standards and treating all with respect

  • Effective and patient communication with attorneys who possess experience as well as broad legal knowledge

  • Attention to detail throughout the entire transaction whether for document creation, document review, trial, mediation, arbitration, settlement, or on appeal

  • Proactive, forward thinking, and comprehensive approach to all issues that could potentially be involved with the matter.

 

The Weinstein Group, P.C. is a thriving boutique litigation firm founded in 2003 by Lloyd J. Weinstein with a vision of building a better law practice by providing extraordinary client representation centered upon a team approach with loyal, tenacious, and intelligent attorneys who provide not only zealous advocacy but also value for the services provided.  The firm handles business litigation, real estate litigation and commercial leasing disputes, employment litigation, insurance coverage matters, construction disputes, landlord tenant disputes, asset recovery, arbitration, mediation, contract execution, and appeals.  The Weinstein Group is comprised of experienced associates, paralegals, and support staff to handle matters of virtually any size and complexity.

We provide the highest quality representation while abiding by our clients’ objectives and concerns which allows our attorneys to approach the litigation in a tailored and efficient manner in an effort to not disrupt nor drain resources. Although proactive and action oriented, TWG attorneys always uphold the highest professional and ethical standards.

Labor and Employment

 

The Weinstein Group has represented companies, senior executives, as well as employees regarding all aspects of employment law.  Our attorneys have appeared in both federal and state courts as well as administrative agencies in employment related matters including prosecuting/defending claims for wrongful termination; age, disability, and other forms of discrimination claims; violation of non-competition, non-solicitation and non-disclosure agreements; sexual harassment claims; FLSA and other wage and work hour issues; and breach of severance agreements. TWG attorneys also work with businesses of all sizes on non-litigated employee issues which consist of the creation/review/negotiation/and enforcement of executive employment arrangements, company handbooks, employment manuals, personnel policies and conducting due diligence.

 

Litigation

 

At TWG our litigation philosophy is founded upon open communication with the client.  Our attorneys place an importance on being fully transparent with the client in all aspects of the litigation and there is the expectation that the TWG client is equally transparent regarding all aspects of the events, facts, and issues at hand. Such mutual transparency is essential to effective representation, as it allows both the client and firm to be confident that all angles of the action are being addressed and analyzed in order to create and carry out comprehensive solutions and strategies to all litigation disputes. Such open communication leads to effective and proactive collaboration with our clients which serves to create a working relationship where the client should always feel their opinion, advice, knowledge is welcome and valued.  After all, the client is greatly vested in the dispute (or else litigation would not be sought) and our attorneys understand the importance of every issue to each of our clients and are here to help secure a satisfactory resolution thereto. Whether the problem involves business litigation or a private family matter, our experienced attorneys form a comprehensive strategy that is reviewed and accepted by the client before going forward.  Once approved, we develop and implement such strategy while maintaining flexibility, being mindful of unintended consequences, and with an ever present effort of including the client.  With such an attentive, personalized, and proactive approach, The Weinstein Group attorneys help our clients get the results they need, in the manner they desire.
