Fantastic Law Firm
Simon and his associates always treated my case as if it were the only thing they had work on that day, with personal interest in how I was doing. Using his knowledge of the law he was able to give me all of my options and then together we decided on a path to proceed!

Debt settlement

Sharp, Professional, and Helpful
I had successfully run my business for 15 years, all of them profitable and without any loans or paying a penny in interest. Then lock-downs came and I had a figurative gun to my head: either take on debt in the form of an EIDL from the SBA or watch my cash reserves continue to dwindle without knowing when I'd be able to operate again. I chose the former, and it kept me alive and allowed me to retain my excellent staff. Now the bill is due and we're still only at 50% of where we were before (even with most of the competition already out of business) and inflation has hit us hard. The government couldn't care less about the situation they put people like me in, they just want all their money back or else. In looking for help, it seemed like every attorney/SBA advisor/guru out there was short on specifics and just want to slowly bleed you of whatever money you have left. Mr. Goldenberg was the opposite - very helpful and knowledgeable in options right up-front the others didn't even mention. His staff was compassionate of the full weight of my situation: it's not just about the loan, it's about potentially losing a business I worked so hard in and figuring out how I will be able to provide for my family. Mr. Goldenberg lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. It's still going to be a long and hard road ahead, but I have hope now. Thank you.

Discover card law suit
From the initial phone call the staff and Mr. Goldenberg were more then professional and caring. They made this process extremely quick and easy. I’ve never met any of them personally. I only spoke to them on the phone and via email but I feel like we have been working together for years.

He Takes the Time to Listen
I reached out to Mr. Goldenberg for assistance with a landlord-tenant related case. Although this was outside the scope of his services, he still took the time to listen to all the details of my case so that he could (a) let me know if it was worth pursuing and (b) give me a referral as to who could best assist.

Great Experience
I was looking for and prepared to hire an attorney to look into and handle a debt judgment made against me, and when I called Mr. Goldenberg's office, not only did he pick up the phone himself, but he gave me a consultation on the spot and was honest enough to advise that I didn't need his services to remedy my situation. I really appreciated his candor and willingness to deal straight with me vs. taking on my case just to make some money. That goes a very long way in my book - at least one other larger firm wouldn't even return my calls. Integrity and professionalism are everything, and I will definitely start with Mr. Goldenberg in the future if I need legal assistance in his practice area in the future.

Friendly, Efficient, and Knowledgeable
I reached out to Simon regarding a collections issue, unsure of the steps I would need to take to get the charges removed from my credit report. He responded promptly via email with detailed information and the steps I would need to take - FOR FREE - to get these items removed from my report. I am grateful for his time and for saving me time/ headaches trying to resolve this properly. If you have any time-sensitive issues I would recommend reaching out to him. He responded to my inquiry quickly and personally and did not try to persuade me to hire him, but I would have if I needed to. Strongly recommend for good business practice, helpful advice, and for a referral if your case is not relevant to his practice.

Great Service
Simon was very professional and helpful in resolving my debt issue. I did not know it was possible to get a court summons for debt and the stress and shock of it weighed me down. I am glad I found this firm and for their professional service. He negotiated a fair payment plan and dealt with the other side so I didn't have the stress of dealing with all the paperwork or court things.

Exceeded expectations!
I had a student loan go in to default a few years ago and had not heard anything about it until they served papers notifying of a lawsuit for the balance. I had reached out to the Law office of Simon Goldenberg for assistance as I understood they’ve handled cases like this before. Thanks to them, we were able to settle for 75% less than what was originally demanded and truly lifted a great weight off my shoulders! I can’t thank them enough for the work that they did.
