"I have known Neal in a professional capacity for my entire legal career. We have worked together on countless cases. I would handle the workers compensation or social security aspect and Neal would handle the personal injury aspect of the case. This is far more difficult than it may seem. Often times our respective positions could be at opposites. However, Neal's integrity is truly beyond compare. When we work together on a case there is only one thing that matters at all - the best benefit of the client. No matter the situation, that integrity is what stands out and allows me and Neal to work together to reach the BEST result for our mutual client. It is not about whose case is better or who gets a larger fee, it is about doing what is right for the only person that really counts under the circumstances, the client. For that reason alone I highly and professionally recommend Neal A. Goldstein"
