Best Attorney!

Michelle is an amazing attorney. I love how she keeps in touch with you and informs you on what's going on with your case. Also she is reasonable, and her payment plans are great. I'm glad that I found the best attorney there is. I would recommend her for everybody. I just have to thank her for all t...hat she has done for me this far, without her I wouldn't know where I would be with this.

Best Attorney

She is an awesome attorney. She keeps in touch with you and keeps you informed about your case. She doesn't mind alot of questions and is just a great attorney. I am very happy with my decision to hire her. I would recommend her to everyone!I only emailed have not met with her yet but she responded q...uickly, hopefully everything else will go rapidly,she seems to be interested in helping in all areas of need!! I went in to see her when my daughter was 4 months she is now 10 and I also have a 4 yr old daughter..she has been by my side for 10 years and is still here by my side... I would recommend her to anyone!!! She is very reasonable in prices and has great payment plans as well..She also has a Spanish speaking interpreter in the office now!!!

worst decision

When I met with her she said with confidence I had a great case, When it went to court, she advised me to go with joint custody before he even finished his time on the stand. She didn't even do a cross examination. I agreed because she scared me into it saying I could lose all custody. Her legal ai...d contacted me when I missed a payment. It was so unprofessional. She made me feel as though my child custody case was of no importance when it finally came to court. She seemed like she just wanted to get out of there and get it over with.

I believe this reviewer should post a link to her public record docket, which is available and simple to do, so the public may see exactly what happened in this case. I believe an informed person would think I did an excellent job in this matter. :)

She is the best!!!!!!!!!

I had a attnorey who recently retired and she was amazing and it was so hard to find an attnorey like her and an affordable one as well. I just wentered back to court almost 2 years ago and spent some much in court not one but twice. At the time when I spoke with mrs. Goldstein I had an attorney a...nd he promised me everything I wanted. I was just so strain and stress trying to find an attorney that I went by my emotion instead of taking to find one. I spoken with Mrs. Goldstein a couple of times through email and she was always straight up forward with me not promising me anything but let me know that she would it be there to fight. I was just too scared to change because I had a court hearing and i did not know what to do. I knew I had to make a decision quick because my attorney was not going to fight for me. My attorney I had was not doing nothing for me I was the one given him date of my hearing and so on i felt like i had to be on top of him. I went to conciliation meeting I feel like I had no voice whatsoever ma do it was a waste. After speaking with Mrs. Goldstein and her assistant they were just so loving and caring and really had the heart of gold and they were passionate to help me and others. She put me on a payment plan that was very affordable and showed me by her action she is not in this for the money but to make a difference and to help. I'm glad I made the choice to hire Mrs.Goldstein. if you haven't read her assistance story please r ew ad it back from 2011 the 1st review and on how much is Goldstein fault for her was and was on her side was a true inspiration. Anyone that goes through a custody battle knows that it's the most hardest and difficult thing anyone can go through and I would definitely recommend this is Mrs. Goldstein to anyone not only is she a great an attorney but she has a great assistant who goes above and beyond to make sure that someone is fighting for them and that you have a voice.. Thank you ladies! Christine
