Weinstock Levin – Proven legal professionals for criminal defense and personal injury needs

When someone is accused of committing a crime, they need to hire a criminal defense lawyer to help them. This lawyer will be working on their behalf as they represent and defend their client throughout the legal process. Criminal attorneys are critical in ensuring that innocent people are not wrongfully convicted or punished for crimes that they did not commit. A trusted criminal justice attorney often works closely with those accused of a crime and their family members to ensure that all the facts are known, any legal defenses are properly presented in court, and any possible evidence is collected.

Weinstock Levin law firm was originally founded by Joseph A. Levin (now a New Jersey Superior Court Judge), Ed Weinstock and Kirsten Levin. Joseph Levin and Kirsten Levin were partners in Law Offices of Joseph A. Levin from 2002 through 2016 and then partners in Levin Pisetzner Levin from 2016 to 2019. Ed Weinstock was the principal in Weinstock & Associates from 2009 to 2019, when the two well-respected criminal defense firms merged; forming what is now Weinstock Levin.

The attorneys at Weinstock Levin aggressively defend adults and juveniles accused of serious criminal offenses, disorderly and petty disorderly persons offenses, and driving while intoxicated (DWI) and driving under the influence (DUI) matters. Also, the attorneys represent clients in domestic violence matters (restraining order hearings and contempt hearings) and gun forfeiture and denial proceedings. Further, the attorneys provide high-level representation in civil litigation.
