Greedy

As my ex-wife violated the Custody and Visitation Agreement on 2 counts I decided to use a service of Ms. Goldenberg to file for Rule to Show Cause. She assured me that my ex will reimburse all of my legal expenses. As a result I lost legal custody, $30k attorney fees and my visitation was reduced ...from 3 to 1 day per week. Devastating experience!

Debra Goldenberg is Nasty & Money Hungry

Debra Goldenberg is a horrible lawyer and has a reputation in the legal world for being mean and nasty to everyone. She over litigated my case and ran up bills to make money for her pockets. She turned on me. She gave me bad advice. She was overly dramatic and frequently exploded and threatened. Do n...ot hire her ever!

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.
