Landlords can lose thousands of dollars a months from each tenant not paying timely. Fortunately that money does not need to be lost forever. The eviction option can insure timely payment. Or at lest you will be able to move the non paying tenant out, so you will be able to get a new tenant in.

Lifesaver!!

Got a speeding ticket on the NY 17 West (more than 30mph over the limit), & also ticket for uninspected vehicle...Mr. Goldstein worked miracles, ended up paying $240 fine( what could have been over $1,000), & only 2 non violation points which doesn't affect my insurance ( could have been 8 points on... the license!). The second ticket was dismissed! (had the vehicle inspected afterwards of course) Needless to say I'm very grateful for Mr. Goldstein's prompt , courteous & professional help, would definitely recommend his services!....& I learnt my lesson, I do not speed anymore!

Well done!

We came upon Mr. Goldstein by chance - I had my secretary look for someone who could handle the New York City Administrative Court System (a kangaroo court if there ever was one where motorists' adjudication rights are different/fewer there than in the rest of New York State!), and thankfully she fou...nd him! Dealing with Zev, Dina, and his staff was a pleasure, and was all handled effortlessly,professionally, and quickly -- all the paperwork and materials were submitted, his very reasonable fee paid by credit card, and confirmation materials sent back in about a day. From that point on, Zev dealt with the horrid NYC TVB "Court" System, and managed to get the ticket dismissed! In my work I have to deal with legal matters and thus attorneys on a regular basis, and rarely has the process been so well handled with so little demands on my time (which was pretty much none!). And, although it wasn't applicable in my specific case, considering all the fees, surcharges, "driver improvement" (read: "we're broke and we need even more money") assessments, and whatever else the State of New York seems to have no problem piling on the tickets they write, I recommend seeking competent representation such as Zev's to give you the best odds that the State of New York doesn't manage to yet again part another motorist with their money! Thank you for the excellent work!

I recommend Zev Goldstein!

I used Zev Goldstein to represent me for a cell phone ticket. He had the entire ticket dismissed and no mark on my driving record! No points were taken! Thank you!!

Awesom job

I got “Following Too Closely” 4-point ticket. Zev was able to reduce it to zero points and parking ticket. I’m pleased with awesome outcome. Also, I am impressed with prompt attention, courtesy and efficiency of his staff. I was able to ask any questions and was always getting comprehensive explana...tions. They never let me feel that I’m taking too much of their time. The matter was settled in couple weeks as all needed actions were happening right away. I paid the fee and they did the rest. It was great experience with Zev and his firm and I would definitely recommend Zev to anyone.

All my worries are gone...

When driving from New York to Montreal, how could you not want to get there any faster? I have researched more than a few attorneys in the area to defend my impatience. Some seemed dismissive, non-focused, and treated my inquiry with a slight of hand. Zev understood that even a speed ticket is a seri...ous matter for his clients (especially someone like me with 100% clean record) and promptly responded in detail, walking me through the possible outcome of the process. Dealing with Zev was a complete pleasure, because I never felt as if I was being taken for another ride. I will highly recommend him for all of your troubles [but secretly hope that I'll never have to do it again ;) ]
