Michael Arthur Lindstadt
Michael A. Lindstadt, Esq. was raised in West Babylon, New York, where his mother was a waitress and his father was a carpenter. From a young age he worked and had a passion for writing and justice. Like many of us early on he was exposed to several heartbreaking family experiences: a grandfather who passed away while receiving a lack of medical attention from a doctor nurses nicknamed, “The Midnight Marauder”, as he purposely visited patients late at night to avoid questions from concerned family members; an uncle involved in an auto collision that resulted in spinal surgery and permanent disability; a grandmother who tripped and fell due to a market owner’s negligence, causing her to suffer a fractured hip, surgery and long rehabilitative treatment; a father forced out of work due to a disabling health condition.
