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

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.

Friendly & Professional

Andy reviewed my inquiries regarding my South American girlfriend's visa woes. He gave us easily digestible advice that focused on getting results as top priority. Highly recommended attorney and his paralegal, Linda was great as well.
