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.

An exemplary attorney

I hired Steven during the course of a messy divorce, where my ex-wife falsely accused me of violating a no-contact order. I called Steven on a weekend, was very impressed by his responses and as to why I had a good case, and hired him on the spot. My case was dismissed at the clerk-magistrate hea...ring, even before a criminal complaint was issued! Needless to say, I am thrilled. Steven is extremely competent, very responsive and is very sharp. He is an exemplary attorney, and I would recommend him to anyone.

From California Mr Goldwyn took care of us!

I took my chances and called an attorney I know in Boston and he referred me to someone else. I felt $4500 was too much to represent my daughter in a auto citation for not having Mass Auto Insurance (She did have California Auto Insurance) she got one day before she moved from Boston to LA. So I did ...my own investigation on-line. I found Mr Goldwyn on-line and I am so glad I stuck it out with him. He was polite, truthful, honest and he actually cared. My daughter did not have to appear in court for the arraignment, Mr Goldwyn represented her, they dropped the charges and we paid $100 to the Cambridge Court. I will recommend him to all the people I know in Boston!
