Posted by anonymous | December 26, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

Reliable and Efficient

I was wrongfully terminated by an employer who was discriminating against me for a long time. Jeff Goldman was willing to take my case and defend my human rights. He asked me very good questions, the complaint statement got done very fast, and we even negotiated a settlement. Jeffrey is really smart... and great lawyer, and I would highly recommend him to others.

Hard working attorney

Excellent attorney. Worked very hard on my cases. Really trusted him to take care of me. Would use him again! Great guy.

Posted by Chris | February 05, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Discrimination

Strongly recommended

After several weeks of thorough research and many consultations, I selected Jeff Goldman as my attorney for my discrimination lawsuit. Without a doubt, I believe that my selection of Jeff was pivotal to my win. From day one, Jeff was able to identify the most effective approach to guarantee the highe...st probability win. While I don't have a background in law, I did discover through my research that employment law is can be very complex and complicated. The correct strategy can make all the difference in the end. Two of my former colleagues selected a different attorney who chose a different strategy, an attorney whom I also met with for a consultation. Their verdict was not positive. The lawsuit took two years and throughout these two years, Jeff and his team worked incredibly hard to keep my case going a steady pace, regularly updating me, meeting with me to discuss strategy, and finally prepping me for the trial. I would strongly recommend Jeff Goldman to any client.

excellent labor lawyer

Jeff has been an invaluable employment law resource for me and my family. Any matters I come across in my legal practice that deal with employment issues, I consult with Jeff and retain his services, when necessary. In addition, Jeff has advised my wife's small business on a wide variety of employmen...t law issues. Jeff is a trusted colleague whose knowledge and experience in employment law is outstanding.
