Mr Goldstein was very helpful. I had no idea of what to expect. I was on a car accident and did not know what to do or where to begin. He patiently met me and my husband on a Saturday which was his day off but better for us. He explained what he would do, how much it would cost, and a timeline. Of course covid happened on the middle of all of this. That slowed down things but not him. He kept in contact with me, called, emailed. I knew what was going on and he told me what to expect in myself as well. You are greatly affected by a car accident in more ways than injuries. There are mental and emotional issues that arise too. I saw and felt them and with him talking about that I was able to handle them when they hit. You think all you have to go thru in doctor visits and physical therapy. There is much more. And then the bills roll in. And everybody wants payment and insurances not responding. Andy handled all of that. Andy takes a lot of pride in his work and it shows. You will be very lucky if he has the time to help you with a life problem. Very professional, kind and smart.
Mr. Goldstein and his team were a pleasure to deal with and provided sufficient information regards the steps, time course and outcomes of our case. He successfully represented us in timely fashion, was always promptly present for feedback and advice throughout the process. I would highly recommend him.

Termination of Property Lease Agreement
I reached out to Mr. Goldstein as my family and I relocated to the TN area into a site unseen rental which turned out to be not as advertised. Needless to say, my family and I were very disappointed with the condition of the property and after three months of poor living conditions we decided we no longer felt safe in the home. Andy was receptive to my concerns and he was able to effectively address these with the property manager and demanded that the they terminate the lease without any financial repercussions. The property manager quickly agreed releasing my family of the agreement and any type of financial penalty. I would highly recommend Mr. Goldstein to anyone looking for both quality and effective legal counsel.

Ms.
In July 2019, we hired Andy Goldstein of the Cole Law Group to defend us from Ghertner & Company and our Harbourtown Condominioms Board of Directors who had signed a construction contract contrary to TN Law. He did an amazing job, and now Ghertner has resigned as our HOA management company and we are going to have the first Special Meeting in our 50-year Condo history to replace the Board who have totally ignored their responsibilities. Andy is one heck of a good young attorney, and we highly recommend his law firm. This was written by Doug and Sallyann. I am Chris another homeowner in Harbour Town Condominiums, I also hired this attorney with Doug and Sallyann. I fully agree with what they have said about this great lawyer Andrew Patrick Goldstein. He was very honest, has great integrity and I think this young lawyer has a very bright future. I highly recommend this lawyer for anyone that may need representation in his area of expertise. Chris

Great lawyer!
Andy was a great lawyer on my case. He listened, cared and warned me fairly about possible outcomes. He was more concerned with my needs than his personal billings. He researched thoroughly laws that bolstered my case and wrote a tremendous demand letter that solicited a response from the defendant. When representation ended, he wrote a great summary of everything that was done and accomplished and gave me options to move forward with my case in another state.

I came to Andy with not a lot of notice nor a lot of time to prep and prepare for a hearing that was a very serious matter. We meet with him one time in person and he was very easy to talk too and took care of business professionally and in a timely manner. I highly recommend him as a lawyer!!

A well-versed & highly competent young professional
It’s my great pleasure to strongly recommend Mr. Andy Goldstein. Initially, I had few consultations with attorneys at Cole Law Group related to several interrelated complex issues. It was then when I was introduced to Mr. Goldstein for advice on my visa related issue. I was completely amazed with Mr. Goldstein’s ability to simultaneously consider several interrelated complex issues and identify the most urgent task needing immediate consideration within client’s resources. Eventually, I hired Mr. Goldstein and he delivered quality services as agreed upon in the contract. I found Mr. Goldstein an amazing professional who not only greatly understands immigration law, but also enabled me to understand complex legal matters through his charismatic delivery techniques. On top of that, he is very sensitive to agreed-upon deadlines and put in extra hours of work (even on weekends) to compensate for any delay that may happen. As one example, due to a sudden, completely understandable and unavoidable professional commitment of Mr. Goldstein, one of our meeting scheduled for Friday could not be done. Mr. Goldstein immediately communicated to me and in fact scheduled the meeting on Saturday out of his personal time. He respects his client’s time and is very flexible in making up meeting arrangements in a way that best suits his client. Finally, I was very impressed with Mr. Goldstein’s unique writing skills, enabling him to synthesize not only complex legal issues in an effective manner but also to summarize multidimensional yet seemingly unrelated complex technical science-based information.
