Exceptional criminal lawyer

Corky Goldstein , where do I start. A couple years ago I was charged with a serious criminal offence facing numerous years in prison. At the time I had no lawyer so I called and asked everyone who was a good lawyer and of course everyone referred their lawyer and said they were the best blah blah bl...ah. Because I was in jail and couldn't research or review lawyers I was very sceptic of who I should hire. A friend of mine also a client of Corky Goldstein, came to the jail to visit me and talk me into hiring Corky, and god am I thankful I did. After hiring him, and getting his name I started to make calls and ask around to find out about him. Shortly after I found out from many sources he is actually considered one of the top criminal lawyers in the country ! When he is described as a A-list lawyer he really earns that reputation. After Corky took over my case he wasted absolutely no time getting to work, literally memorizing my case to a T. Corky Goldstein is a criminal defence machine, watching this guy in the court room really shows his experience, he the crowns worst nightmare, and I feel sorry for anyone being cross examined by him. I cant begin to describe how sharp this guy is, you can tell when he coming to a dead end or not getting anywhere in court or with the crown that he is already thinking of new plan of attack or simply bringing out his next move, and he does it with such ease and finesse that you never see him sweet or be intimidated or feel like he is confindent in your defence. He really knows how to approach every situation as if he's done it a million times. Ultimately Corky Goldstein had all my charged acquitted and withdrawn. I have used Corky a few more times after that and referred at least 3 people to him and everyone has had the same results. He's never lost for me or anyone I have sent him to, and that really show he does care about EVERY client no matter how big or small the case is. He takes every case serious that why his reputation follows him. Corky Goldstein is at the top of his game and I would refer him again and again to anyone in trouble with the law. If you've already made a mistake and have been arrested don't make another mistake, HIRE CORKY GOLDSTEIN

The Best Lawyer in Town!!!!

My name is Mickey and last year my wife and I found ourselves mixed into a giant criminal investigation. We were upset and scared. The law threatened us with jail for the rest of our lives. We didn't have a lot of money nor did we understand the charges. A close friend told us that he researched lawy...ers and found Corky Goldstein with a highly reputable reputation. We called and made an appointed. Mr. Goldstein took the case and immediately helped us. Also, he did it pro-bono. He explained that sometimes an attorney must set his fee aside and must give b ack to the community, to people who need his legal assistance. I feel that if he did not help us we would not b e celebrating 23 years of marriage. Respectfully, Mickey

If you're in a bind, don't waste time, Call Corky Goldstein he is an exceptional and trustworthy Lawyer!

First of all let me start by saying ''Thank You Corky Goldstein for everything you have done for me." I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my sentencing. I had 5 felony counts forgery , 5 counts of fraud, 3 counts intent, 3 counts of possession of prescription medication and a handful more charg...es racked up against me. After being misled by my first choice of legal representation, watching my first lawyer, tank my preliminary hearing, almost getting more charges added to my case, and possibly arrested for allowing a police officer to badger me, in her presence, about hearsay accusations for things I had nothing to do with. Due to them having similarities to my current charges. Before getting to trial, She advised me of nothing, never answered my calls and charged me for every single missed call and voicemail that she never returned. Then I realized I needed a real professional on my side who would fight for my rights and respect me as a person and client. I was scared and expecting the worst until I met Corky Goldstein. This man is the most attentive and dedicated lawyer anyone could hope for. Even when things looked the worst and halfway through a mess another lawyer created, Corky stepped right in, told me what my options were, and took care of everything... I had made every wrong choice in the beginning of my defense because of my first lawyer. She took most of my money without putting any real work into my case. Corky Goldstein knew I couldn't afford much after what happened and helped me with what money I had. This man called me personally at least twice a week to advise me the headway he was making, what steps he was going to take, and guided me through the things I could personally do to help my end result be as beneficial as possible. Out of all the miracles I hoped for, in this my lowest time, Corky was much more than that. He was a god sent, He treated me like family and took care of me in my time of need. He is upfront, right to the point, honest, and always makes time for you. You should be upfront about everything he needs to know, so he can block any punches that could come your way when he is defending you. You can trust this man to always have your best interest in mind. When you are in need of help because you made some mistakes and the law isn't holding any punches, Corky Goldstein is the one you can trust to fight back for you with everything he's got. Corky got me a second chance to live past my mistakes and he can do it for you too. I have forever found a trusted friend, confidant and true to his word fighter for the people in Corky Goldstein. Don't waste anymore time if you're in a bind call Corky Goldstein. He works with Mooney and Associates and his personal cell number is listed. Thank You Again Corky Eternally Grateful, ~ Meranda ~ By the way the outcome of my case , THANKS TO CORKY- 3 years Probation and 200 hours community service. WITHOUT CORKY - 40 to 112 YEARS IN FEDERAL PRISON and about $140,000. dollars in fines. Herbert Corky Goldstein you are a miracle worker and the very best choice in legal representation anyone could hope for!

Very big criminal matter,very complicated

I am from out-of-state--not from Pennsylvania, but the criminal charges against me were lodged in Pennsylvania Federal Middle District Court. It was a very complicated criminal matter, and it was a large scam---my part in it was very minor, but I got caught up in it. It woould have ruined my life, m...y career, and my marriage. I went to AVVO and read about Attorney Corky Goldstein, and I can only say, Corky was fantastic, not only as my advocate, but he truly cared about me and my family. I was so lucky to find him. Thank you AVVO, and again thank you Corky. Your outstanding reputation was well-earned.

The Best Criminal Defense Lawyer in Pennsylvania!

It is hard to express my gratitude to Attorney Herbert Corky Goldstein. I can't imagine where we would be today if it weren't for his expertise and care. When my cousin was arrested, our whole family went into shock. His parents wanted us to hire a criminal attorney and my attorney friend recommende...d Herbert. We called and met him that very day. He gave us amazing advise and helped us get my cousin out of jail. He didn't pass any judgment and were truly compassionate and professional. He calmed everyone down and told us the felony arrest wasn't that bad. When the case was done, he even helped us with issues with his nursing license. I would highly recommend their services to anyone who needs a criminal attorney. Amazing Attorney if you need the best criminal attorney in Pennsylvania!
