Regarding my car accident on 2/10/20

I could not have made it through through the struggles of this accident without this team. They were patient & helped me through every step of the way.

President of NJ Aid for Animals

Drinkwater & Goldstein demonstrates exceptional responsiveness, promptly returning all calls and maintaining punctual appointments. Their staff is not only efficient but also friendly. What distinguishes them from other firms is their commitment to exceeding the typical scope of services. When ...they represent you, the attorneys go the extra mile, providing value that surpasses the cost. A lawyer must possess not only a comprehensive understanding of the law but also excellent detective skills. It involves delving into every nuance of analogous cases, conducting thorough investigations, and unearthing precedents relevant to the legal matter at hand. This law firm extensively searches for specialists in the relevant field of each case, ensuring comprehensive coverage for their clients. Just like when my dog needed an X-ray at a local vet who although had an xray machine they did not employ a radiologist, my vet sent it to a specialist. Despite not charging extra, this expert radiologist identified issues the local vet could not read revealing our dog had a tumor with limited time left. Thanks to this expertise, we now have a clear course of action and will proceed accordingly. That's the level of service you receive with Drinkwater & Goldstein. Their expert opinions and collaborative approach ensure informed decisions for their clients so you can “proceed accordingly”. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

Excellent and Professional

Each time I spoke with Mr. Drinkwater he was always courteous, professional!! He is kind hearted treats you like a human being and not a number and that was very important to me. Lawyers are known to be called "sharks" but not Stanley he is amazing and so his his staff. They always kept me informed ...and never gave me the run around.

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.
