Amazing is an understatement

Professional, fights hard for clients, goes above and beyond to get you what you deserve. Jeffrey and his team were great, excellent communication as well. My case did not make it to court and was settled in a short time. There's not much else to say; except that this lawyer is a champion.

Posted by Shanya L | November 25, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

An Exceptional Lawyer

Mr Goldman worked on my wrongful termination suit. My experience with him was amazing. Both him and his team, went above and beyond, to get me the outcome I wanted and that they knew I deserved. Mr Goldman works for the client, he does not do things without your approval. I was treated like more of... a friend than a client. He is driven to get results for the clients, with him it's not about how much money he charges if there are extra things that needs to be done in your case. I will certainly refer him to friends and will use him in the future.

Expat Employment Arbitration

Jeff was very straightforward and responsive with very little followup from my part. The whole case was seattle within two months which is short and stress free.

Over and above professional

Jeffrey was so professional and really took the time to explain every step in process. He proved to be extremely knowledgable about the area of law pertaining to our case and we couldn't have felt better represented. We felt heard and understood throughout entire process. I would absolutely recomm...end Jeffrey E. Goldman to represent my friends and family if they should require representation.

Trust and Competence

I met Mr. Goldman while I was having a wage dispute with a former employer. He took my case and worked tirelessly on it until we recouped all our losses and changed policy in the company so future employees would not be taken advantage of like I and my co-workers had. Jeff Goldman made a huge diffe...rence in my life, kept me in the loop during the whole process, was trustworthy and honest, and got us our money back. Could not be happier with my relationship with Jeff, and rest assured, if anyone needs a lawyer, Mr. Goldman is the first person I recommend them to.

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.
