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...u'll receive the best that they can do in your case.

I was in good hands

Mr. Goldstein is personable, knowledgable and really cares. His expertise and professional judgment was instrumental in obtaining a favorable outcome for my case. The immigration system can be beyond frustrating and having an attorney like Mr. Goldstein on your side can make all the difference.

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...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.

Dear 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.

Stole my money

I was referred by his review which they seem to be accurate but I have the worse experienced with him. First appointment charge me $2500 for just getting my record and gave me hope as we spoke first time then 2 or 3 month after I got a phone call from another lawyer from his office asking me about my... case which I explain all to Steven at first and which he gave me all the hope I can get. after that phone call I got very disappointed wasn’t Steve who spoke with me cuz that’s what I hire for. Time pass and no cal or any thing from them. I went to his office retreat my court paper and just call it loose.. please be advise this can happen to you Finally my money was taken from them for just a 20 minute interview with him to not do nothing.

Joel, I reviewed your file and it appears that we were able to retrieve your records as promised. As you know, your case is complex. I've sent you an email at your last known email address so that we can discuss this matter. I too am disappointed that you feel you did not receive excellent customer service because that is what we strive for every day. I am willing to discuss your case with you further if you like. You can reach me directly at sgoldstein@pozogoldstein.com.

Student Visa - Very Concerned

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.
