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!

Gratitude and Reinforced Faith in Justice System

Lawyer Jeff Goldstein, I'm writing on behalf of my family to say thank you for your outstanding work on my brother's case. My father wanted to write to you himself but due to his limited proficiency in English he asked me to instead relay this message. On behalf of my father we would like to... express our gratitude to lawyer Jeffrey B. Goldstein. You have done an excellent job that saved my son from the Worcester Correctional Department. With your talent, devotion, and legal experience, you have done a great act of fairness, respecting the law and regulation of the Worcester District Court, that saved and helped my son to overcome a very serious lawsuit. Again, please accept our appreciation and thankfulness. May God bless you with health and happiness in life. Respectfully, Ly N. - H.N.'s father. Once again, I'd like to echo my father's gratitude during this stressful time for my family as well as convey my own. Without your help, my father would have been absolutely distraught as to what to do over this situation. My brother has gone a long way in terms of recovery, and this would not have been possible if you had not been there to be a true advocate for the rights of the mentally ill. By representing my family despite our destitute economic circumstances, you have reinforced my father's faith in the justice system and I wish you all the best. We only wish that we had more ways to thank you. Simone N. - H.N.'s sister.
