An expert legal mind, and a caring and compassionate attorney

I first contacted Jeff upon the recommendation of two good friends, one of whom is also a lawyer, and the other a former client. Jeff and his firm were outstanding in helping me to navigate a difficult situation. It was my first time experiencing such stress and I knew I needed expert legal advice.... Jeff took the time to listen to me and understand my position. He explained the issues in a way that I, as a layperson, could understand. He was also incredibly supportive and responsive throughout the process. With his warm style of partnership, I knew I was in really good hands. And thanks to his excellent legal mind, he successfully crafted a strategy that improved my situation. I highly recommend Jeff and his firm.

Successful Completion of a complicated legal matter

I was involved in a long arduous legal battle where I hired one set of attorneys who worked on the case for several years and that set of attorneys split ways before the matter was completed. Then the original attorney hired another attorney to work with her on the case. Both of whom had to work on t...he case with the work that had been done by the first attorney. I was not getting anywhere with case so I decided to switch attorneys again and hire Jeffrey Goldman. Jeff took on the case with an energetic zeal. He took the case in a much more aggressive direction and filed a meticulous and well thought out counter-complaint against the other parties thus ending years of litigation quite rapidly and successfully. His knowledge of the law and ability to apply it to my case was far more extensive than the other attorneys that had been involved in the case. He successfully out maneuvered the opposing council from the outset and I can highly recommend his services.
