Steven Howard Goldman

Unprofessional, bearly made the court appearances, and has not returned my property pertaing to the case.

Talks very nice and calm, to get your money/ retainer fee. Its all down hill from there. Beware hire at your own risk.

You always think that getting arrested is something that only happens to other people. But it isn’t. It can happen to you, just like it happened to me.

One night we invited another couple to our house to watch the Super Bowl together. We ate dinner and watched the game. And of course we drank. Too much. The evening was a lot of fun. At some point I passed-out. When I woke-up I was in my bed. I didn’t remember getting into the bed, but that’s where I was. I looked over and my friend’s girlfriend was lying next to me. I didn’t remember her getting into the bed either, and I was more than a little surprised to see her there. After some awkward conversation she got up and left.

Some weeks later the police called and asked me to come to the precinct. I asked why, and they said that I was being accused of trying to rape the woman who was at my house the night of the Super Bowl. I couldn’t believe my ears. It didn’t seem possible. The officer assured me there was no mistake and said I needed to turn myself in. That began the nightmare that would last the next 14 months.

I hired Steven Goldman. He made sure that bail was set at an amount that I could afford to pay so I didn’t have to sit in jail. He also kept me calm. That was not easy, especially because I was being charged with attempted rape – a felony! – and the DA wanted me to plead guilty to a crime that would have made me a registered sex offender. I knew I was innocent, and there’s was simply no way I would ever do that. Thankfully I didn’t have to. I was able to resolve the case without pleading guilty to a crime. Thanks to Mr. Goldman, I’m not a registered sex offender for a crime I didn’t commit. I really believe that if I had used another lawyer the outcome would have been very different. Because of Steven Goldman, the nightmare that was these criminal charges is now behind me.

One day while shopping at a department store near where I live in the Bronx, I was arrested and charged with petit larceny. I had never been arrested before and was terrified at the possibility that I might go to jail. Worse, in less than a month I was scheduled to realize my dream and be sworn in as a US citizen, a dream that could now come crashing down as a result of this arrest. I was frightened and had no idea what to do, so I called Steven Goldman. He answered all my questions and immediately put my mind at ease. After discussing the case in depth, he explained how we could resolve the case without jail and without affecting my ability to become a US citizen. He did exactly as he promised. Thanks to him I can happily say I am now a US citizen. From the bottom of my heart I would like to thank Mr. Goldman. I also want to thank his wonderful office manager, Karina, who was very supportive whenever I came to their office, and who literally held my hand while I nervously sat in court waiting for my case to be called. Without them I would not be where I am today.
