Lindsey M. Weinstock

Lindsey Weinstock joins Brown, Goldstein & Levy from the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice, where, over more than a decade of service, she became a trusted source of both litigation expertise and technical and policy knowledge in the area of health care. With deep experience in investigations, complex civil litigation, settlement negotiations, and monitoring compliance with injunctions and consent decrees, Lindsey brings vision and creativity, along with meticulousness and experience-based judgment, to advising clients and vindicating their rights.

An experienced and successful litigator, Lindsey led and participated in some of the Civil Rights Division’s largest and most complex cases in federal courts across the country. Most recently, Lindsey was lead trial counsel for the United States in United States v. Florida, in which the United States proved during a two-week bench trial that the State of Florida was unnecessarily institutionalizing hundreds of children with disabilities in nursing homes and placing hundreds of others at serious risk of such segregation. Her leadership and strategic acumen made her a sought-after asset in training and advising attorneys across the Department on litigation and trial skills and strategy.

Lindsey also has experience providing legal and policy counsel to agencies across the federal government regarding legislative, regulatory, and policy matters relating to employment and health care services and programs. Able to navigate complex and multifaceted issues of program finance and structure, she provides a range of clients with comprehensive advice in the context of challenging and shifting funding and regulatory environments.

For several years, Lindsey taught the Disability Law Seminar as an adjunct professor at George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School. Prior to joining the Department of Justice, Lindsey was a litigation associate at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP. She graduated summa cum laude from Columbia College of Columbia University and received her JD, cum laude, from New York University School of Law.
