Waste of my hard earned money!!!!!

Not helpful, does NOT communication, only interested in the money. TOTALLLLLLT IVER PRICED. Does not do the work a Laywer should do. Did not do a dam thing help with winning this case. When you contacted him you feel as if you were a bother. Total waste of money. When you meet someone and they tell... you how amazing they are…. Run because it’s the complete opposite. I wish I could sue him to get my money back.

Not worth the time or money

A true pos, he is lucky I didn't unload on him. Not helpful, no communication, only interested in the money.

Terrible

Suffering a horrific accident, was hoping he was going to be a good lawyer, but I am thoroughly discusted by sheer incompetence of getting any communication, or any type of help for a serious case as I have, My life is ruined and he does not care, excuses after excuses... Should be looking for a job ...in a different field, this is one of the worst lawyers in my whole opinion, I now have to start over after years of continued suffering.

Professional, confident, and excellent communicator

When I was charged with an OUI, I was pretty overwhelmed. I was advised to hire a good lawyer, so I reached out to friends and colleagues for recommendations. The results were attorneys who turned out to be either too greedy or wanted me to plead guilty. Then Steven Goldwyn came into the picture. Imm...ediately upon our first interaction, I felt assured and was given options to fight this charge. Steven was confident, quick to adapt to my situation, always available, never late to respond, and even solicited the counsel of an immigration colleague on my behalf to discuss potential immigration implications to my case. Needless to say, with his efforts, I was found not guilty, and all charges against me were dismissed. Hiring Steven was the best decision I made. I am quite satisfied with his services and grateful that our paths crossed.

Courteous and Formidable - Excellent Attorney!

I am a New Jersey driver and was handed a ticket unjustly while driving back on Soldiers Field Road. I was very upset about it, and wanted to fight it myself; however, I soon found out that traffic tickets are handled very differently in MA than they are in NJ. At the 11th hour before my first court ...appearance, I tried to find an attorney to assist me (and also charge reasonably). I found Steven online and we talked on the phone about my case. He was very courteous and was fast-thinking, which made a positive impression - - even at 11pm! Shortly after being retained, he sent me a lengthy e-mail asking me for further information regarding the ticket. Steven reviewed my e-mail meticulously and also followed-up with me and had a very good understanding of my case. Even though I retained him the night before I was scheduled to appear, he went to court for me and was able to successfully post-pone my hearing to a later date which gave us more time to prepare for my hearing. Although Steven advised me that I did not have to appear for my hearing date, he did also advise me that it would be a good idea if I was able to make it; I took his advice and met him at the courthouse. Although my court date was initially pushed back to a much later date, Steven remembered all the facts of my case and also reviewed with me his proposed strategy. I obviously took his advice and the hearing couldn't have gone more smoothly and positively. The ticket was completely dropped! He is an excellent attorney and I would use him again in a heartbeat.
