My Highest Recommendation

I do not have a simple divorce. It has been ugly, painful and relentless and I could not imagine any of my hard-fought victories without Elyse at my side. Elyse has a style of absolutely committed personal advocacy. She steps in my shoes. She helps you see what you care about and what you don't--a...nd she constructs the strategic plan to get there. Her seasoned experience as a litigator and a negotiator has come through for me especially in those moments when I have had to decide whether to seek compromise or whether to turn to litigation. On both paths, I have been in the best hands but just as important was her seriousness in guiding me toward the best path. Elyse is always responsive, always explains and answers questions and always makes available her extraordinary team at Goldweber Epstein. You are never alone. My child and my child's well-being are the most important elements in my life and in my divorce. Along every step, Elyse has achieved outcomes that I could not have imagined and I feel that she cares about me and my child as if it were her own family. Elyse Goldweber is a blessing during this horrible chapter of my life. It gives me a peace of mind to know that I am in such expert hands.

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.
