Upwards !

Where to begin? I was an American ex-pat stuck in Doha, Qatar. When I found out that I was essentially stateless (since I didn’t have domicile), I began to lose hope. But then I found Steven. He immediately offered a creative and intelligent way to navigate my case and find a way home and, more impor...tantly, to keep the kids stateside. By the time we were, and the real battle commenced (over jurisdiction and other messy matters), his abilities shone. In the end, his professionalism, intelligence, compassion, and meticulousness won negotiations: that, and his ability to work well with an outside expert on international law. Additional gratitude to the front staff and his assistant. They, too, were professional and warm. My girls are back on American soil, and so am I, and there is no looking back. Upwards and onwards. Thank you, Steven!

Steven Goldman is an extremely skilled divorce attorney - he is adept at quickly assessing a difficult & emotional situation in a professional and somewhat detached fashion - yet not so detached as to cloud a professional level of compassion and the otherwise real focus of his work. His financial an...alysis skills are superb, his ability to see the big picture, one step at a time is outstanding. Steven can carefully present options & assist with "+'s/-'s" . His response time and communication skills are excellent. Yet, his wry sense of humor can come into play at just the right time. We had a challenging situation to deal with and Steven was polished and professional at all times: phone consults, emails, meetings and in the courtroom. His ability to research and even consider creative options revealed his depth and strength as a well-qualified domestic/family law attorney.

One of the most compassionate honest lawyers one could find.

Retained Steve for a matrimonial case and he was a gentlemen from start to finish. I have referred Steve to numerous friends and colleagues and they have stated the same feedback to me about him. You will not find a better lawyer out there!!!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
