They had my back !!!

From the first phone call to Mark to the last email with Francine: there was nothing but steadfast focus on getting my daughter back to me. They fought for me like it was their own daughter. In less than a week the whole mess was settled and we were reunited. They guided me every step of the way. The...y were in contact several times a day. They respond to emails and calls within minutes. This firm is the only place you need for custody, divorce and other matters!

Great Law Firm!

I had child custody issues with my ex wife that span more than a decade. The Goldstein Law Firm took care of my needs. Hillary Brower was my attorney from the firm. She was EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE about custody laws and how the courts deal with the types of issues I was having. This led to an exc...ellent outcome for me and my child. We are very thankful for what the Goldstein Law Firm and Hillary Brower was able to achieve in the courts for us.

Amazing

Mark and Francine are amazing! They treated myself like I was part of the family. I have used them twice once for custody of my daughter and the other for a support order. Each appearance was flawless and as painless as possible. Court is never fun especially family court but if you need a great ...attorney that will treat you like they actually care, please trust me and use Goldstein law.

When you need the best, look no further...

If you are looking for strong representation, especially in high conflict cases, then look no further because you have found the right law group. I had been divorced for several years when I retained Goldstein Law Group to represent me in seeking a modification to my custody and support order. At t...he time of my divorce, the combination of my emotional state and the weak representation from my former attorney led me to sign what was, for me, an unfair, unbalanced custody and support order that didn’t benefit my children or myself in any way. Although the language of my order left the door open for me to have additional parenting time with my children, it was opposed by my ex-wife at every turn despite my persistent requests. This led me to Mark Goldstein and Francine Galante. Mark listened to my story, reviewed my poorly written property settlement agreement from several years prior and solidly advised me on what I was in for. It was the fight of my life. He was honest with me about the time, energy and money that would be involved. I was given opportunities along the way to settle, which would have cut my legal expenses, but would not have given me the fair agreement I was seeking. I spent 15 long months in litigation with my ex. As expected, she blocked every attempt at negotiation, despite being represented herself by an attorney, despite multiple rounds of mediation, despite telephone conferences with the judge, culminating in several days of testimony at a plenary hearing. Francine and Mark worked diligently on my behalf communicating with the opposing counsel, the mediator and the judge. I am happy to report that I was successful in my quest to obtain 50/50 shared residential custody of my children. My new order is fair, balanced and affords my children the opportunity to share equally in the love and affection of both parents. The resultant financial aspects of the new order were fair and clearly written to avoid future misinterpretations. I cannot be happier with the outcome. I never could have come this far without the strong representation by my attorneys Mark and Francine. They were there for me every step of the way. Was it expensive? Of course it was. Anyone who thinks that aggressive litigation is cheap is sadly mistaken. However, you get what you pay for. I learned that the hard way. I never could have come this far or attained this outcome by myself. Don’t make the same mistake. If you are faced with the need to hire an attorney to represent you in your divorce or custody case, you MUST do it right the first time. My only regret is not hiring Mark and Francine sooner.

mark goldstein is an awesome divorce lawyer

I went to Mark because my ex-wife filed a bogus motion for primary. mark went right to work by immediately firing a letter to my ex-wife's attorney (Weinberger law group) and clearly stating their claim had no merit and was totally bogus. then he arranged a 4 way sit-down meeting where he made it c...lear to my ex-wife that she has absolutely no evidence whatsoever to support any of her claims. then he had my children meet the judge which further supported that my ex-wife was making up every one of her allegations. my ex-wife and her attorney backed down and custody remained exactly the same! great job by Mark and attorney Julie Katz as well.

"I have known Mark for several years, and I gladly endorse him. We were bitter adversaries in a very difficult divorce matter. Mark was extremely knowledgeable about the issues presented in the case, and fought very aggressively for his client. I recommend him fully for any person who feels downtrodden and needs a strong voice."
