Steven Howard Goldman

After my experience with Steven Goldman, I feel obligated to speak up. From the start, communication was terrible—i had to be the one to follow up just to get basic information. There was no real strategy, no urgency, and no sign that he genuinely cared about the outcome of my case. I paid $40,000 f...or his representation, and it felt like it all went down the drain. Honestly, I could’ve had a public defender and received the same—if not better—treatment. What hurt me the most, though, was something he said to me as a father. When I expressed my concerns about being away from my 4-year-old daughter, Steven told me she’d be fine and that she wouldn’t even notice I was gone—that she’d eventually forget as she got older. That comment was cold, heartless, and showed zero understanding of what it means to be a parent. It’s something I’ll never forget. Now, I’m currently doing my time—and I can’t and won’t get over the fact that I’m far away from my family. This has taken an emotional toll on all of us, and I truly feel like Steven did nothing to fight for me when I needed it most. I hired him expecting support, effort, and professional guidance. What I got was neglect, careless remarks, and the feeling that I was just another case to close. I would never recommend Steven Goldman to anyone—especially if you value your family and your future.

I spoke to Mr. Goldman about a legal matter that was causing me a tremendous amount of angst and sleepless nights. His advice put my mind at ease and I was greatly impressed not only by his professionalism, legal erudition, and thoughtful handling of my particular concern, but the compassion with whi...ch he treated me as a person. I unreservedly recommend Steven Goldman.

I have worked with Mr. Goldman on several occasions and can vouch for his skill, professionalism and reputation. His knowledge and dedication are overall unmatched. Mr. Goldman is a pleasure to work with, he is helpful and will give you the best possible outcome. He is professional and will al...ways make sure to research and get the best outcome for you. I truly appreciate his work. I must say you become more than a legal case, a lawyer that truly cares for his clients.

Steven Goldman has actually saved me from a situation which could have been very dangerous to my career, and my life as a whole. I was going to be wrongly implicated in a rape case which would have messed up my whole life. I first contacted Steven on a Sunday night at around 11:00 PM, after I was con...tacted by an NYPD Detective. Steven was very prompt in his response even that late in the night. We set up an appointment immediately for the next day, Monday afternoon. I went to see him at his Columbus Circle office in Manhattan and explained everything as it happened. He listened to it very patiently, diligently noting down all the details. Then he spoke to both my accuser and the detective, and de-escalated the matter quickly. Were not for Steven Goldman, I am sure I would have been in handcuffs by now.

I was convinced that I was going to go to jail or get a felony for selling drugs to an undercover cop. Mr. Goldman managed to negotiate it down to a misdemeanor. I don't know what I would have done without him. He was extraordinarily competent and professional but also really nice and relatable. I kn...ow he actually truly cared about helping me. He went out of his way to use every resource he had and made sure I didn't ruin my life over such a dumb decision. Basically, the way that I sold the controlled substances to the undercover was extremely sketchy and most people told me that there was no way around a felony. Mr. Goldman was very honest with me throughout the process. In order to avoid jail time or a felony, I thought I might have to enter an intensive year-long drug rehab program. I cried every day thinking about that reality. It would have required many hours a day, every day, in rehab for a year with addicts when I'm not one at all. I didn't know how I would have time for work, how to tell my loved ones, how taxing it would be for my soul. Mr. Goldman managed to work out a deal with the DA by working some magic only a grade A lawyer could achieve. I ended up just getting a misdemeanor and having to do community service. I owe him everything and am enormously grateful. You should absolutely hire Mr. Goldman if you are in a bind. I really think that if I had hired another lawyer, I wouldn't have been so lucky. He knows what he is doing and is an exceptional lawyer!
