Excellent Attorney. Honest and reliable!!
We have no words to express how happy we are to have hired this firm and Mr. Goldstein for my bf defense with Inmigration. After searching and interviewing with a few lawyers in Miami, we decided to stay with them and we have not regrets. With their defense we could vacate a criminal record from 1998...

Excellent
As a previous client I can tell you that I am more than satisfied with the outcome of my case and the services that were rendered by Pozo Goldstein. In my view, my case for Citizenship was stacked against me, almost to the point of deporation. This did not occur and today I am a Citizen. I beleive yo...

Do not go to Goldstein
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...

Replied last April 18, 2019Dear Anonymous: I will do my best to address your issues although it would have helped for you to identify yourself so I could check our records of your visit. Because your feedback is anonymous, I can only respond in general. Every client consultation I conduct, which are always free of consultation fees, is detailed where I learn the complexities of a prospective client's case and provide the client with a plan going forward if something can be done to help. Of course, there are some instances where we cannot assist a prospective client or the better option for the client is to do nothing. I mention the cost of legal services when the prospective client asks or at the end of the free consultation. You were scheduled with me because Ms. Pozo had an urgent matter and was out of town for at least a week. Our record in helping clients with their immigration matters speaks for itself and one only has to look at the other AVVO reviews as evidence that we are one of the premier immigration law firms. We pride ourselves on the work performed and our customer service. Your description of the free consultation you had with me is not accurate. If for some reason, your perception of the consultation was as you describe, then I am sorry you perceived things the way you did. All the best to you. -- Steve Goldstein P.S.I do, however, appreciate that you approve of our office improvements.
