Paul B Goldhamer

Divorce is never easy...even when both parties know that they should no longer be married. That is the situation I found myself in several years ago. After a brief marriage, I knew that it was necessary that I seek a divorce. When I asked around, I kept getting the same recommendation...Paul Goldh...amer from Chestnut Ridge. My husband at the time had a lot of anger and resentment towards me for wanting the divorce. I met with Paul and immediately I knew that I wanted to retain his services. He came highly recommended and from the moment I met him, I found him to be very professional, a good listener and I also knew that he was going to work hard for me. In addition, his entire staff was impressive and extremely supportive. Without all of the details, I will summarize in saying that the divorce, which should have been easy considering we had no kids and I was willing to walk away from the house, was a disaster. My husband at the time was hostile and very downright nasty. In truth, his ego was hurt and he, therefore, was going to hurt me where he could the most...my wallet. The case dragged on and on because of my husband, including my ex closing our bank accounts and taking every penny we had. It was emotional and upsetting. Paul was excellent at keeping me relaxed and prepared throughout the ordeal. Whenever we went to court, I felt I was very well represented. We had to answer to many foolish and expensive motions, which was frustrating to me because of financial restraints. But Paul always told me that he would work with me in regard to the financial aspect. He gave me very sound advice on a financial aspects and in ways to handle myself in regard to contact with my husband, his family, in court, etc. To watch him in the courtroom, he is a bulldog, but also a man with a great heart. He knew that because of my teacher salary, it was going to be upsetting and financially straining for me to go to trial and we spoke extensively about that. Paul convinced me that I deserved the best and that a trial was necessary to get what I deserved. Scared of the cost of his services and his staff, I was hesitant, but after we discussed it, he worked out a deal with me that I was comfortable with and was able to move ahead with preparation of trial. As Paul suspected, my husband settled before trial. I can't say enough about Paul Goldhamer and his entire staff. I could not have asked for better representation. On a personal level, he was also very good to me. I know that he always gives back to the community, as I have sponsored him for Multiple Sclerosis Bike Rides in NYC. If you are looking for an attorney that will fight to the end for you and also has a heart of gold, Paul Goldhamer is someone you should make an appointment to see. You will not regret it.

Before my divorce I had never known Paul. I didnt have a huge settlement, I didn't have a ton of money to back me...he didnt care. He treated my case like it just as important as any other he had. He tried to save me costs as much as he could and was upfront it which I appreciated. Through my entire ...process he was honest (even when I didnt want to hear it), truly caring (even though I didn't know why), and kept me calm (when I thought I couldn't take anymore). He gracefully helped me through one of the toughest times of my life when I needed a rock and had no family to support me. Paul's experience is second to NONE. The man knows his business and has always been an amazing professional every step of the way. He was there for me (and still is) anytime I need him.

I went with my sister to consult with Paul when she was in need of a matrimonial attorney. He was extremely knowledgeable, patient and caring and responded to all our calls and e-mails. Besides providing us with excellent advice, he was extremely concerned with my sister's well being and mental heal...th. He is the attorney to go to when you need the best. In the long run, my sister did not go through with a divorce but Paul is still on speed dial!
