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.

Custody Case

I felt Steven Goldwyn did not do his job made lots of promise never followed through what he said he was going to to do for me. I'm very upset he promised me to get me my son back and it never happened. I feel when a lawyer gets paid they should fight for what you want. He never turned documents on ...time to the judge always last minture then the judge doesn't accept it because the lawyer did turn it way before the court case.

unprofessional,frustrating,worst attorney

Hired mr goldwyn in march 2012 for car accident I was in that i found out I was being double surcharged on and had a ticket from a year before that and in crapachusetts 3 in two yrs they suspend your licence. He assured me that state doesn't like to double dip and that my case was cut and dry and he... saw no foreseeable reason that I would not win. Well that led me into months of the worse stress and aggravation than I had ever had. Nothing was done professionally I never received copies of anything he supposedly did or completed I had to email him for updates his responses were so inarticulate that my husband and father who is a architect could make very little sense of.I would sit there stare at my email going huh??? This is coming from someone educated and supposedly well versed no way. He was irritating to deal with in that when talking to him you never got your questions answered in a cut and dry manner you hung up confused nervous because I have paid this man a large sum of money and have no confidence that he will do as promised. Needless to say I lost. He couldn't drop the citation but I received no documentation that he even went and fought it, when the hearing came for insurance company he told me to let him do the talking I was like well that is what I am paying you for. When we got inside he literally was talking in circles I felt as though I was his first client and I knew I was done for. He kept looking to me to talk and represent myself which I was not prepared to do so being that gee I had hired mr. clueless to do that for me. It was a horrid experience I could have saved myself $1500.00 and just gone to the hearing on my own.
