Wonderful attorney!

Mr. Goldfarb was referred to us by a friend. After the loss of my son during a routine surgery, my wife and I were destroyed emotionally. We went to Mr. Goldfarb and met him and his staff. From the beginning of the case, they treated us like we mattered and most importantly, the loss of our son... mattered. We never even knew why a young man had died following what everyone called a “routine” surgery. From the first meeting we knew that we had found the right man to stand behind us and to finally tell us what had happened to our son. Alan spoke to us honestly, caring and down to earth. He was confident in our case and the ability to get justice for our son. During the entire case, Alan diligently fought for us in every conceivable way, he got my son’s records and had them reviewed by very qualified experts who helped Alan obtain an amazing result. But more important than the result, we got justice for the untimely death of our son. Despite the many years Alan has been practicing law, he maintains his love of the law, his respect and empathy for the suffering of his clients and an thorough knowledge of the law. These traits are vital in guiding a wrongful death case to a successful conclusion. My wife and I were extremely satisfied with every aspect of our treatment, not only by Mr. Goldfarb, but by his entire staff. And we are more than satisfied with the ultimate outcome of our case. I’m confident that I had the very best representation possible. He is an amazing man and an outstanding attorney. MARTA We were referred to Alan Goldfarb for a medical malpractice case. We spoke with many people about pursuing a case but when we met with Alan we knew that we were in the right office. Alan and his staff helped us throughout the whole case in a caring and professional manner. We were kept informed during the case of any developments and obtained a great settlement for our family. He handled my case expertly and was always there for us emotionally. This was a very trying time for us and he got us through to the end. I highly recommend him to anyone that needs the help of a lawyer. He is #1 in our book. Professional, caring and knowledgeable.

Alan Goldfarb - Superb Miami Attorney!

In August of 2012, I was in a car accident where a car ran a stop sign and hit my car. I retained Alan Goldfarb as my attorney upon a high recommendation from my employer, Dr. Richard Souviron. It was one of the best decisions I could have made. Mr. Goldfarb was not only knowledgeable and extrem...ely effective as my attorney, but he was also very caring to my needs including physical, emotional and financial. His quick responsiveness to my calls, questions and concerns made a difficult time much easier and his legal expertise was extraordinary. My settlement outcome was the best it could have been financially due to Mr. Goldfarb's legal skills, and the entire experience and process was made easier because of his and his staff's superb abilities. I would highly recommend Alan Goldfarb to friends, family and co-workers.

Best LAWYER 2014

If you are interviewing for Personal Injury, look no further. Mr. Goldfarb and his firm were highly recommended to us to represent us in a personal injury of a minor due to a boating accident. He is a remarkable attorney as well as human being surrounded by an impeccable team and could not have aske...d to be better represented. They showed genuine concern for our case tending to every detail and following up continuously on the recuperation while keeping us informed during the entire process. The case was resolved quickly and with our total satisfaction achieving a sizable settlement. We recommend Mr. Goldfarb and his firm without a shadow of a doubt to represent anyone in their time of need.

Best Of The Best

I’ve dealt with many attorneys over the years, but usually in routine matters. So when I suffered a serious injury last year I knew I needed someone special to handle my case. I sought advice from friends on who would be my best choice to handle such an important matter. The name that rose to the top... was Alan Goldfarb. Upon meeting Mr. Goldfarb for the first time (he suggested we meet at the scene of my accident) I knew he was the one. Alan has a down to earth and confident manner that put me at ease immediately. Over the months that followed, Alan diligently fought for me in every conceivable way, seeking records to help my case, negotiating with representatives of the insured to get me the best possible settlement, and at all times keeping me in the loop on the status of my case. He frequently called just to see how I was doing, through two surgeries and many months of rehabilitation. This man has been practicing law for more than 40 years and it shows. He knows the virtues of patience. He knows the law. He knows the courts. He knows the system. That kind of knowledge is vital in guiding a personal injury case to a successful conclusion. I was extremely satisfied with every aspect of my treatment, not only by Mr. Goldfarb, but by his entire staff. And I was more than satisfied with the ultimate outcome of my case. I’m confident that I had the very best representation possible. Alan Goldfarb is an outstanding attorney.
