Steven A. Goldstein

I was sent to the immigration court for deportation proceeding due to fail maintain the non-immigration status. Mr. Goldstein and his professional legal assistant have been there for me all the time, they are professional, knowledgeable, patiently, they are fighting for the clients, they have clearly... strategy and process all the required documents with cautious and careful.all the efforts go to the better direction. I'd highyly recommend Mr. Goldstein. Thank you for the great support, I am very happy with the result!

I called to schedule Pozo whom I knew from prior case with exellent results. Today when I went in I was greeted by Goldstein (IDK why) but the guy was uninterested, overpriced and careless to the point of not even asking the specs of the case. Came across as money seeking and nothing else. He came i...n, stated a price, and advised I needed to up front half of it without even asking if I was ok with number or if able to pay it. Not a person I wound entrust with a personal issue of immigration caliber. Nicer office from 10 years ago when I first met with Pozo, but heck of a decline in service. Not recommended. Mr. Goldstein, you arrogance cost you $4K in my case, plus all the future customers I will no longer refer to your practice.

If you are looking for a top-tier, professional law firm - the best money can buy - Seven A. Goldstein and associates is not a good fit. My girlfriend is transferring schools and needs to re-apply for a Student Visa. She is from Venezuela and her residency has been approved. But, she needs to main...tain her legal status for another year while she waits for her permanent residency status to become official. Going back to Venezuela is not an option as they may not let her leave. I called and explained the situation clearly and outlined that things were time sensitive. I also mentioned that I wanted the best lawyer money could buy. Marian, the receptionist, scheduled an appointment for two weeks from the date of my call. My girlfriend took the day off work. I took the morning off to Skype in from Silicon Valley. Ada Pozo was 25 minutes late. She walked into the conference room for 45 seconds, told me and my girlfriend that there was a mix-up. Wires were crossed and their end and they had scheduled an appointment for a marriage consultation. Before either of us could get a word in, she walked out. Marian informed us that their Attorney that handles Student Visa cases was out of town and wouldn't be available for 3 weeks. There wasn't even a hint of an apologetic tone, let alone an apology. When I reminded her of our situation, she was rude and dismissive. I could care less about bedside manner. I just want a law-firm that can keep my girlfriend in the county until her residency becomes official.

First and foremost, I do not work for any attorney or para-legal. Just like you I was looking for attorney than can help with my case. Well, it never got that far. The biggest problem with Mr. Goldstein is his office staff. Apparently they are continuously overbooked as my appointment was reschedu...le three times (!), one time because there was religious holiday (I'm fine with that but why his office would be scheduling appointment week in advance without knowing the attorney will not be present?). On the final third appointment date they never called and 2 hours later I did call myself. After 10 minutes waiting on the line the attorney took the phone. He was unfamiliar with my case, did not know who I am or wasn't aware of any documents I have sent him over 2 weeks earlier, despite the fact I did have numerous correspondence with his over the e-mail. Nothing. Finally, it turns out that there was some animosity between him and the other attorney that got involved in our case and for that reason mr. Goldstein told me "I'm sure they are other knowledgeable attorneys that would be willing to help". Totally unprofessional, not to say childish, in my opinion. When looking for reliable, fast, mature and knowledgeable attorney, I would not recommend Mr. Goldstein, because it was simple a waste of three-weeks of time. I cannot say much to his knowledge, but what's the use of your superior immigration-law experience if you do not know how to handle and work with your clients? Oh, by the way; he said multiple times he will refund my consultation fee, then he said he already did refund it. Up to this day, I have not seen any refund coming, and I will have to go through the bank to get it resolved. I am sure Mr. Goldstein is not in a business of taking someone's $ without rendering a service, but again it just shows how he and his staff are disconnected from maintaining fair relationship with customers (God only knows how he would handle my payment if the fee would go into thousands of dollars). You have been warned and do yourself a favor and comply with what Mr. Goldstein told me: "I'm sure they are _other_ knowledgeable attorneys that would be willing to help".
