ONLY THE BEST

Steve Goldstein was a beacon of hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh on impossible. Not only was he able to defend us from an unjust accusation, his calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and... those I care about most. My children and I are eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Mr. Goldstein reservation

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Considerate and professional...

Even though I have decided to file my petition by myself for purely personal reasons, I would have definitely hired Goldsteins if I had decided to go with a lawyer. Even though they have no shortage of clients, they are courteous and considerate enough to offer free consultation session where they tr...eat people with utmost empathy and care. At that session, you become sure that you can rely on these people for your case. Free consultation plus genuine interest plus a big systematic company. You would not find this combination anywhere else. Being a perfectionist, I did a lot of search for a company/attorney and found out that Goldsteins stood out among many.

Most professional and dedicated Attorney

I wanted to thank Mr Goldstein and his firm for their experience and attention to details in my case. The staff at Pozo Goldstein was very courteous, responsive and knowledgeable whenever I had any question and would always get back to me in a reasonable time, sometimes even on weekends. Also wan...ted to mention Teresita Rodriguez who was the original paralegal on my case and now one of the associate lawyers at the firm. Mr. Goldstein and Ms. Rodriguez your professionalism is excellent and thank you once again for the personal attention on my case.

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"I have worked closely with Mr. Goldstein on a wide variety of immigration cases as his paralegal before I attended law school. Because of his professionalism, patience, and attentiveness to clients, he was a great mentor for me. I often assisted Mr. Goldstein with intake appointments, where he treated clients courteously, and candidly explained their options for proceeding. I believe that he has a sincere desire to help clients, and he has an extensive knowledge of immigration law which allows him to effectively guide clients through oftentimes daunting legal processes. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Goldstein."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Steve is a great friend and even better lawyer. I have referred countless cases to Steve where I need his expert advice in handling my non-citizen client's criminal cases. As a former prosecutor with Homeland Security, I have complete confidence that with him on board I am effectively and competently representing my client. I am on the phone with him at least 2-3 times a week either seeking his advice or referring him a client. I would recommend Steve without hesitation to attorneys, and clients who have criminal immigration issues."

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.
