Rude very very rude

Tried to call for the first time and man he was just rude off the rip. Answers the phone and was like "David goldin" David.. a very angry and low toned voice. I'm like what...hello I'm trying to reach david..he's like "i'm david" in a angrery voice as if he's mad at me for trying to use his service i... told him ill find someone else I immediately hung up and now will be reporting his services to legalese, take him off their roster he doesn't belong on a list to help people through work insurance. Do not recommend as his behavior is unpredictable and could backfire on your specific case

Knowledgeable and Attentive

I had an excellent experience with David as my attorney. He was extremely prompt in returning my calls, very knowledgeable of the system and what to expect. The outcome of our legal issue was much better than I had hoped for. I would recommend David to anyone in the Albany area for legal services.

Review

I hired this attorney to do a simple legal transaction for a family matter. Not only was he unresponsive, he took several months to get everything processed. The real treat, however, was when I got the feedback that there were a litany of mistakes in the paperwork filed with the courts. Now we have t...o go back to him to figure out why he couldn't get things like name spelling, gender and addresses right, so he can re-file everything.

If you want to just throw money away- then he's the lawyer for you!

He did NOT do his job. He never returned my calls- He didn't care about our situation- When he came to court he seemed irritated that he even had to be there and never turned in ANY evidence that pertained to our case. He didn't even go over our evidence so when it was time to go to trial...we had to... tell him things...he wasn't orginized at all...When we had to testify he asked the wrong questions and it seemed like he was working for the other lawyer. My husband and I feel like they were in cah-hootz....like we were rail-roaded between him, the other lawyer, the judge and the law guardian. Of course the outcome wasn't what it should have been....So now we have to appeal and...We are now looking for another lawyer.....We basically just threw our money out the window! I wish I would have found these reviews before I called him and did my research!

HE WILL SELL YOU OUT

I had never been in trouble prior to meeting Mr.Goldin and when I obtained him, I had edvidence proving my innocence but that did not stop him from treating like I was guilty.I told the man tell them to take it to trial because I know the jury would not feel sorry for a nurse who was addicted to pain... pills but he kept trying to scare me saying there was a chance I could do time,I was wondering how when they had NO EDVIDENCE ONLY HER WORD.I feel he was trying to help the D.A convict me.Based on the edvidence I obtained myself I felt I had the wrong mouth piece because it took two years of my life and why that long to be found not guilty I still burns me a little.I never recieved my certifcate of the dispostion and I paid for this man. He treated me like crap and did not listen when I said "let them take me to trail".He kept me going back and forth,that was fustratind considering I had moved out of state.No, I would not recommend him.
