Adam Steven Goldstein

To be upfront, I was on the opposing side of this attorney. I can't speak on his ability with other areas of law, but regarding Family Law, I can give you full insight. Mr. Goldstein is not the most intelligent attorney on this matter, but his aggressiveness, ability to manipulate and come up with st...ories are his strong suits. This worked out well for him in the beginning of our case; however, I learned how to handle Mr. Goldstein's tactics soon enough. As a result, Mr. Goldstein was easily handled going forward, both while being represented or just representing myself. The key to dealing with Mr. Goldstein is to just make sure you keep EVERY piece of communication involving Mr. Goldstein because he always tends to shoot himself in the foot during his cocky emails. By doing this, I submitted his communications to the judge as evidence and used case law Rosen v. Rosen which shows that a party is being difficult and intentionally delaying a solution and as a result, the judge awarded me $2,000 in attorney fees. Mr. Goldstein attempted to manipulate the child support calculations by submitting only half of his client's annual income, committing potential fraud. When he got caught red handed as we had all the W-2s in our possession, comically provided to us accidentally by someone from his office, he continued to deny and lie. Needless to say, not only did Mr. Goldstein look horrible in the eyes of the court, but Mr. Goldstein and his client (my ex) parted ways immediately after. Just be prepared for a circus show when going against this attorney.

Adam worked above and beyond on my case – a complicated modification to a parenting plan that went to a three-day trial. Three areas where he really was worth his weight in gold: 1. Intelligent. He demonstrated a strong understanding of family court and laws – and the best approach to ensuring my v...oice was heard. 2. Patience. My case was very emotionally charged and Adam was able to balance passion and professionalism. 3. Dedication. While my case took nearly two years to conclude, he never wavered and spent the time necessary to ensure my case would win. Adam Goldstein is a lawyer I trust and I would strongly recommend him for anyone needing legal help.

I'm currently going through a modification of a parenting plan. I had to replace my previous attorney of over ten years because things were not getting done effectively. I then decided to hire Adam after consulting with other attorneys. I'm so glad I did! That was the best move I have ever done. I ju...st wish I would have hired him from the very beginning. Adam not only had to undo the previous mess (things were not going my way), but we have accomplished in a few months what my previous attorney couldn't do in 10 years! Adam is aggressive, but fair. So far, he has worked hard to make it a fair and positive result. The other positive thing is he won't sugar coat the outcome. He has been up front and very decisive with me. Yet, Adam has told me the best course to take and the options available for the best outcome. One last thing that I almost forgot. Adam has been available on Saturdays when necessary. I personally have never seen that from most (if any) attorneys in family law.
