!!!!!!!The Best Immigration Attorney!!!!!!

If you are looking for a great immigration lawyer - please, look no further! Mr. Goldstein and the entire staff has been absolutely Amazing. When we were hit with immigration, my family and I did not know where to start. We spoke with about seven attorneys & had phone consultations. When we spoke wi...th Mr. Goldstein we felt at peace, comfortable and knew he would be the one that could help us on this journey. We fault the courts for 3 1/2 years and each time Mr. Goldstein was right by our side to answer any and all questions that we had concerning the case. He was honest by telling us what he could do and what his firm could offer us. The staff really made us feel as if we were family. If we had questions on the weekends Mr. Goldstein did not hesitate to call or text us with answers no matter what time it was. Not only is the firm knowledgeable but friendly and ready to fight for what is right & what's in the best interest from the client. Not only he is extremely experienced in immigration field -he is super attentive and dedicated and will treat your case/problem as his own. What I absolutely liked the most he was always available via email or phone, answers all the questions in details. I think that's what caught us the most was the COMMUNICATION during the process. After court he would always follow up with phone call, text or email giving details of what we didn't understand during the hearings. He was always prepared and ready he & the firm never made us feel like we were rushed when we had questions and would talk with us until we fully understood the process. I say all of this that Mr. Goldstein is a true fighter for his clients & with his consistency & him always being prepared we WON OUR CASE & MY HUSBAND IS BACK HOME WITH HIS FAMILY!!!! I say all of this to say he will not just collect your money & treat you like you don't exist, he's a true attorney at his word & he's shown us that his clients come first. If you are ever in need of an attorney that has you & your family in his best interest please don't hesitate to contact the firm. #MrGoldsteinRocks*****

God first, Mr Goldstein did his job as my lawyer and I’m so blessed to have him as my lawyer. Thanks Mr. Goldstein/family

When I first met Mr Goldstein and explain my situation, he was very honest with me and told me not to go ahead with my case and wait a while if I wanted this to be a success. I waited the time he gave me and the next appointment he went over my case and he started to work on my case after I hired him.... The system was slow and things dragged on but I was a lil patient and and Mr never left my side and kept updating me. If you don’t understand something and needs help call his office, you may not get Mr Goldstein right away but he does return your call n his staffs are nice or they will pass your msg to him and he will call you even if it’s the next day. I’m very grateful to God and Mr Goldstein and his teams for their help and time they give to my case. My Advice to anyone who wants Mr Goldstein office to help you with your case, pls follow his instructions or advice you will have better success with your case and patient counts. He doesn’t own the immigration system but knows his job and will make sure his client have the best outcome. Thanks so much again to the office of PozoGoldstein and teamwork. Your client Gifty who was tire and helpless but didn’t give up because of your encouragements.

Steven Goldstein delivered results! The proof is in my cancellation

In 2013 I found myself in deportation status. I was completely terrified, as I have lived in the US 30 years. I have children here, a business, a home and a life. Steven Goldstein came to me very highly recommended. He did not disappoint! he was with me every step of the way, and was immensely kind ...and understanding. He answered questions, returned phone calls and emails without hesitation and truly made me feel as if he cared. I was a human being, and not a case number. We won our case yesterday and a cannot say enough about my amazing experience with him!!

Steven Goldstein and Team Complete Success

Today Mr. Steven Goldstein and his team after a lengthy but really professional a thoughtful process delivered not only for me but my Family but to me a great outcome. Due to common mistakes of not hiring a professional immigration Lawyers to handle my immigration matters before. I thought I was go...ing to lose it all and remove away from this country after leaving here more than 18 years and being able to work and live legally. Mr. Goldstein fought for my rights to have a second chance and succeeded very successfully on getting my 237 (a)1(H) approval by making very clear to the U.S Government and the Judge in a professional and accurate way, and not only a second chance was given to me, but I'm also now on the way to become U.S citizen, Thank you Mr. Goldstein and his team From now on any immigration question, advice, needed to everyone close to me will go to Mr. Goldstein and his team. To Mr. Goldstein and Team forever grateful

An incredible and highly competent attorney! FIVE STARS!

An incredible and highly competent attorney! He cares very much and he is very available for the ongoing communication processs that is necessary for a successful outcome! Steve Goldstein represented my husband during his immigration process and now he is a U.S. citizen! My husband and I intervie...wed many firms before we chose Pozo Goldstein! It was necessary to have the best because this was going to be his second try for citizenship after another attorney in Miami messed-up so badly on not covering the bases all the way through including the last and final official Immigration interview for citizenship. You don't have to spend the time to find the best...you just did!! We did it for you!!! My name is Susie S. and We live in Broward County, FL where Mr Goldstein also represented my husband.

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."

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.
