Jesse Weinstein didn't take a typical path to becoming one of New York City's leading employment attorneys. Before he was a partner at Phillips & Associates, he served in the US Navy, worked his way through law school, and spent years as an Assistant District Attorney in the Bronx, prosecuting public corruption and complex criminal cases in the Public Integrity Bureau.
In this episode, Jesse shares how that prosecutorial background shapes the way he now represents employees in sexual harassment, discrimination, and whistleblower retaliation cases. We talk about what carries over from the prosecutor's mindset to plaintiff side employment law, how trial experience in a DA's office prepares you for high stakes civil litigation, and what it actually looks like to pivot from one legal career to a completely different one.
If you've ever wondered whether experience in one area of law can translate into a whole new specialty, this conversation is proof that it can.
