Speeding Ticket

Leaving St. Thomas More Church in Chapel Hill I was unaware of the posted speed. I received a citation, was to appear in court two months later. I was unable to attend, I live Cape Cod Massachusetts. The citation caught up to me two years later, on the renewal of my Massachusetts driving license... I... contacted Attorney Goldston. He returned my email promptly and reassured me not to worry. Not only did he reduce my speeding violation, he stop my suspension. Thank you Attorney Goldston for your professionalism.

Review

I hired Mr. Goldston based on the information on his website and a short telephone interview for a traffic violation. Note that I am experienced in hiring lawyers for personal, business, and real estate dealings. I also have two immediate family members that are lawyers in Atlanta. Mr Goldston has ...my highest possible praise for the way in which he: (1) Handled my case. (2): Conducts the business affairs of his law office. (3): Responsiveness of his communications with me as his client. I will positively hire Mr Goldston in the future if I have the need for an attorney in Durham.

Traffic violation

Attorney Goldston was very professional. He discussed my case strategy with me and was able to get me a lesser charge with no insurance points. Mr Golston was easily available by phone or email and responded to my questions. He was able to represent me in court and I did not have to be present. I wo...uld recommend him to anyone.

Great Service!

Mr. Goldston was very knowledgable about my case, what to do to help me and for a great price. He helped me at the cheapest cost compared to other lawyers I had talked to. He always contacted me to make sure I have everything I need for court and was very professional. Great service and I would recom...mend him to anyone looking for a lawyer in the NC area.

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.
