A Top Attorney

I fully recommend Robert Goldstein. If you are in need of an attorney than you want to be protected by the best. Bob has a wonderful legal mind. I didn't initially realize all the different types of law he practiced, but he was was so helpful to me during my difficult divorce. He understood the situ...ation and knew the best way to attack the problem and come up with a solution. I feel very lucky to have had him in my corner working for me.

Unbelievable

I must say that I was so impressed by this attorney. He was the second attorney I had tried to use. The first was uniformed and incapable. Mr. Goldstein could do more for me in fifteen minutes than my other attorney did in 6 months. He also did all of this when not many other attorneys understood ho...w to work my case. After losing much before hiring Mr. Goldstein, I even received a refund of left over funds that came to fruition due to his cost savvy.I have never heard of that before and thank him for resolving my case without ever going to court. He is a great attorney and I can't express my gratitude enough for his work and helping me to begin to take the first steps in rebuilding my life back after a debilitating circumstance. I give my best wishes to his office and secretary for their capabilities and responses. I highly recommend this attorney and his staff. Thank you Mr. Goldstein for a job well done.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
