INDUSTRIES


Brian Weinstock concentrates his practice in real estate and corporate transactional law, workers’ compensation, insurance defense, and other civil and commercial litigation. 

Brian’s M.B.A., coupled with his work experience, gives him added perspective in organizational behaviors. For businesses of all sizes, he provides financial and legal analysis as well as operational strategies and ideas to manage financial and legal risk.

Litigation. Brian assists businesses and insurers with managing risk and coverage options. He handles workers’ compensation, insurance defense, and various other civil and commercial disputes including many trials and settlements of high-dollar claims.

Real Estate. Brian’s legal counsel and litigation representation cover virtually all aspects of real estate transactions including due diligence, leasing, financing, management, contracts, and oversight.

Corporate Law. Advising clients proactively, Brian applies years of corporate legal experience and understanding of the inner-workings of business. He offers guidance to minimize operational vulnerabilities, consider financial implications, and develop strategic direction. He also serves as general counsel for two companies.

Brian believes that maintaining an open line of communication is essential in his legal practice. To that end, he strives to be available to answer questions as they arise and return calls quickly. These actions reflect Brian’s reliability and commitment to earning trust as the first person business clients call.

Education Law. Brian’s practice in Education Law specifically relates to the following:

  • Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
  • Individual Education Plan (IEP)
  • Section 504 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (504s)
  • Functional Behavioral Assessments (FBA)
  • Behavioral Intervention Plan (BIP)
  • Discipline
  • College students with disabilities who need assistance with obtaining and maintaining accommodations
From a personal perspective, Brian is passionate about school law issues, such as IEPs, 504s, FBAs, BIPs, discipline, etc., due to personal experiences with the Special School District of St. Louis County (SSD) and school districts. He firmly believes that every disabled child needs to have the chance to be successful in school. He knows many children and college students who need an advocate to help them get and enforce accommodations they need to succeed in school. To enhance his knowledge about these topics, Brian attended and completed an IEP and 504 Plan Legal Workshop which was sponsored by the National Business Institute and also involved FBAs, BIPs and discipline.

"Brian, I cannot explain how much we appreciate you."

Testimonial | Matthew Overcast, Attorney at Law
"I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for your invaluable assistance in securing testing accommodations from the National and Missouri Board of Law Examiners, as well as addressing the issue with my previous counsel. Your unwavering support played a pivotal role in enabling me to sit for the bar with nearly all of the necessary accommodations. Thank you once again for your invaluable support during that critical time. It has truly made a difference in my life and career prospects. If there is ever a chance where I can lend a helping hand or repay the kindness, please feel free to contact me without any hesitation."

Testimonial | Amber Ray
"As I take a moment to reflect on my academic journey, I am filled with gratitude and a profound sense of accomplishment. I wanted to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to you for playing a pivotal role in my success, especially during a challenging time when I was accused of cheating on schoolwork. Your unwavering support and belief in my integrity were invaluable throughout this difficult period. Your willingness to stand by me during those times helped me overcome the accusations and fueled my determination to excel academically. Graduating would not have been possible without your guidance, understanding, and the trust you placed in me. I am excited to carry the lessons learned and the values instilled during this challenging time into the next chapter of my life. Your support has made a lasting impact and I am fortunate to have had you by my side."
