Highly recommend

Mr. Goldman represented me in a case a few years back. He is a great listener, straightforward, and provided me with info and options to come to a reasonable settlement. He also took the time to share career advice to my then young daughter. Thanks to M. Goldman my daughter is in her 3rd college ye...ar, Nursing program in a high-ranking University (top 6 in Nursing) hoping to pursue a career as a Physician Assistance or Nurse Practitioner.

Worst Experience Ever

Hired this lawyer to handle my employment related issue based on his supposedly good reputation. From the beginning, Mr. Goldman was an absolute nightmare to deal with. He was unresponsive in communicating and gets defensive when you question him about anything. Could not believe the horrendous attit...ude he had. He not only did an extremely poor job filing my case, but also did it incorrectly under the wrong statute. After trying to quickly settle for a low ball figure, I decided it was time to go our separate ways. Again, he tried to make this as difficult as possible by bad mouthing me to the new attorney I hired. Luckily, I was able to hire an amazing attorney afterwards who corrected Mr. Goldman's mistakes and helped me settle for an amount that exceeded my expectations. I would strongly advise anyone with an employment related case to not hire this lawyer.

I recall this specific client. She had a good case, but wanted her boyfriend who was not involved in the situation to handle everything including the negotiations. I do not work this way, and suggested that she obtain another attorney. She did and that attorney did get her a good settlement.
