Corte criminal y servicios.

Un exelente abogado , súper profesional y un gran ser humano que en momentos super difíciles tubo las palabras correctas para sentirnos protegida y respaldados mi esposo y yo. Y en el momento de hacer su trabajo fue magistral para un veredicto en corte totalmente favorable. Dios lo bendiga y le de la...rga vida para continuar su gran labor día a día . Agradecidos infinitamente con usted y su personal de trabajo por el servicio brindado.

Great Experience

Steven and his firm were great. I had a lot of unpaid medical bills that they took care of for me. He got the bills reduced and put more money in my pocket. I highly recommend him and his firm. They were great.

Steven was Fantastic!!

Besides being a great lawyer Steven is a wonderful caring person. He took my case to trial and they settled right before jury selection. He is the real deal.

Excellent Attorney

I was rear-ended in an accident in 2011. My car was totaled and I sustained back and neck injuries that required surgery. Mr. Goldstein was there throughout the whole process. He went the extra mile calling me after my procedures. After choosing not to settle, we went to court and we won a larger se...ttlement from the jury in part because of Mr. Goldstein’s opening argument and overall presentation. I’m grateful for all the work he and his staff. did on my behalf.

Steven was awesome

My car was T Boned. I missed work and had surgery. Steven filed a lawsuit immediately and settled my case in under two years. He is aggressive but personable. I highly recommended him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
