Great Lawyer

Jeffrey Goldstein went to battle for me since my first court date after I was arrested. He was respectful, professional, and very knowledgeable and I was very nervous about everything but I instantly coul tell I could trust him and through his hard work my case was dismissed. I highly recommend Jeff...rey if anyone needs a great defense lawyer. If in the future I ever need another lawyer, I'll be calling Jeffrey Goldstein. Thanks again Jeff, Alexander Bates

Absolutely the epitome of composure and integrity

Jeff came into my life during some serious plight to represent me in my legal matters stemming from relapse into drinking and lack of health care on my part. Jeff was patient and thorough and compassionate. I think In my life I may have never met a more well put together and multi faceted attorney th...at assisted me in settling my case in a manner that both sides legally were satisfied. Thanks a lot Jeff Goldtein and highly recommend anyone needed an attorney to hire him.

MA's greatest Defense Lawyer

Jeff helped me in a case where i was blindsided, and by the time i knew what was actually going on.... I was in WAY more deep than i had thought. Jeff made sure i knew the in's and outs, pros and cons, and all in between about my case. he was up front and honest (very appreciated) and he Advocated ...for me in with such diligence & persistence that i was BLOWN AWAY! Not only did i get far better results from my case than i thought i could hope for... i was able to even propose my own thoughts on the final deal and Jeff MADE SURE that the "other side" accepted the deal. 1,000% professional- and NO Wishy Washy nonsense. Jeff's the real deal! If you are looking for a defense attorney in MA, JEFFERY is YOUR GUY!!! Thank you Jeff!!!! -Walt.

Excellent Defense Attorney!

In Jan. 2019, during a routine traffic stop which escalated due to the particular circumstances, I was detected with a 9 mm Glock under my belt. I was accused of "carrying a firearm" without a license (MGL 269-10a), which imposes a mandatory 18 mon sentence. Based my own understanding of the circumst...ances, this would ordinarily be a slam-dunk case for the prosecutor. Then Mr. Goldstein waltzed in, and did a truly masterful job of arguing the details of the traffic stop, articulating and splitting the nuances of the facts and the case law - such that he had pried a clear and heretofore unrealized logical path to my freedom. Actually, I was convinced from the beginning that "it wasn't gonna work," and was prepared to "plead the Second," and thus I maintained a critical and generally pessimistic position of my defense on factual grounds; but there's no doubt that even when viewed from this negative perspective, Mr. Goldstein's arguments at hearing were very convincing and so we won the day! Now, there's also no doubt that Mr. Goldstein did his "homework" for me, went to bat and did his best for my advocacy. Also, my impression of Mr. Goldstein is that he is very professional, and maintains a great relationship with the court, as well as the district attorneys. So ya, in short ***** (5-stars), I would definitely recommend Mr. Goldstein!

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
