Scott B. Goldshaw

I was represented by Scott Goldshaw and his partner for more than 12 years as a whistleblower. Over that time, they got to know my character well—something even recognized by the judge during trial. After prevailing in the case, I lost my job, career, health, and safety to retaliation. When I sought ...their help again, I was told to “move on,” left completely abandoned while they collected nearly a million dollars in fees from my case. Since then, I have faced further violence, blacklisting, and threats, and made every effort to provide them with documentation and updates about my continued struggle for justice—including filings before the Supreme Court of the United States. Scott refused to even review what I had filed or learn what has happened to me since, dismissing my request for a simple statement or amicus letter. I now know that the abandonment I felt after my case was not just a suspicion—it’s now confirmed by his unwillingness to acknowledge the harm or even review the facts. If you are a whistleblower or civil rights plaintiff, be warned: this firm profited from my work, then left me alone and unheard. Justice shouldn’t end the moment a case concludes. As seasoned civil rights and whistleblower advocates, they know exactly what retaliation looks like. Scott knows better, and his response is morally bankrupt.

I engaged/retained this firm after having trying to engage 3 other attorneys — who ghosted. My first contact was with Andi Paul who explained the process and set the tone that Id be working with decent human beings who would not merely treat this as a transaction. Scott Goldshaw was the only person I... had to recount my situation — no repeating over and over. Scott provided some education that facilitated our having a common language and expedited our work. He consulted with me — establishing goals and expectations. We worked out an efficient process of collaboration where we shared resources and documents. Scott has a breadth of knowledge about the law and also various organizations in Phila - he is also known for litigating in court - which is a distinct advantage. But what was most important to me at this time was that, as Andi foreshadowed, this was consistently a human interaction. Importantly, it was reassuring to work with a lawyer who was familiar with PTSD. Every interaction was humanistic, trustworthy, and kind. The conclusion met our goals quickly.

Simply put, Scott is the lawyer you want by your side in a very stressful time in your life. From the moment I called his office, Scott has always made me feel that my case is the only case he was fighting for at the time. Of course this is not true, but he never rushed me off the phone, was very r...eceptive to my concerns and replied to EVERY one of my emails in a timely fashion. At times, I had to remind Scott that I also needed a healthy lawyer fighting for me and reminded him to not to work 24/7. Scott anticipated their every move and was always one step ahead of them. He carefully explained everything to me, both sides, and the risks involved. He fought for me when at times I couldn't fight for myself. Not only did it end in a settlement and resignation rather than termination, I felt like I won the day I hired Scott to represent me. Thank you Scott for leading me through a very difficult time in my life. I appreciate all the hard work you put into my case. Anyone who hires you will certainly not be disappointed.

I have relied on Scott to review two complex Pharma/Biotech employment contracts and was extremely pleased with the process and outcome. Scott's legal analysis and advice was spot-on. Additionally, he explains issues clearly and is very responsive to client questions. I have recommended his legal se...rvices to other colleagues who have had the same excellent experience.

Scott Goldshaw took my case back in 2006, he was always honest with me about my chances and stuck with me patiently explaining why and what he was doing and reassuring me when I needed it. My case took years and he had a way of making me feel like I was the most important client he had. We ended up ...resolving the situation with a great outcome that I think even surprised Scott. Now, years later I reached out to Scott again on another manner. He took the time to speak to me immediately. His advice was spot on even though I was uncomfortable with it. He walked through the scenario more than once until I was comfortable with our path forward even going through every line of the document to show me how he came up with his advice. The situation is not over but I feel confident with Scott by my side. Scott is always aware of the costs involved, making sure I do not spend more than I have to. I wish I didn't need him but when I do I sure am glad he is on my side. He is one of a kind!
