Excellent lawyer

Michelle helped me get my foot in the door to see my son. I had no knowledge on beginning to get legal help. Michelle is very upfront and Aggressive when it come to custody deputes. When she says that father's have rights, that's what she focuses on. I also worked with her paralegal (TL) She is v...ery helpful and has the best heart. Both of these ladies are amazing and understand what it is to want what best for your child. I recommend this lawyer to anyone who wants rights.

A father has rights!

I went to see Michelle and wanted to end my rights to my son. The mother had said she wanted nothing to do with me and I would never see my child. She threw me out when she was 8 months pregnant. I went to see Michelle and while I was waiting her secretary was talking to me about why did I look so sc...ared. I said this isn't for me and I don't think I should be here. She said hold on dont leave, with that she pushed back her chair went into Michelle's office, next thing I knew Michelle walked out and said come with me and let's talk. I was 19 no money working at Burger King and Living with my mom. I told her what I wanted to do and she said no. I said why she said because we are going to get you visitation and Fathers have rights too. She has been in my case and still is on my case making me and helping me to be the GREAT father I am today. If it would not have been for her secretary asking why was I so scared i would have got up and walked out. Now I know I always have Michelle to fight for me and my son. I can never thank her enough, she told me once I am not Attorney who wants to get rich, I want to see justice for everyone equally. She always makes you feel you more then just another paying client. You might not like the truth but with her you get the truth and justice.

A Lawyer with a heart!

Michelle Goldstein is a fabulous lawyer that truly helped us get our children secure, safe, and stable. She aided in our custody case and has continued to be a valuable part of our lives. She is warm and "no-nonsense". She wont talk down to you and takes the time to make sure you understand all your ...options. She puts the children first and really helps you keep your head clear and free of the "tit-for-tat" nonsense that can come with highly emotional cases. She throws herself into your case as if it were her own. You will not find a better lawyer that puts the welfare of the children above ALL else. We are thankful to have had the blessing of having her on our side and more importantly, on our children's side. Without her I shutter to think the state the children would be in today. Thank you Michelle for continuing to help and for being our light in the dark.
