Michelle Ericka Goldstein

When you walk in to an Attorney's office you get a coldness because you know the situation is really bad and ask why did it have to come to this. Children are in the middle of the tug of war between parents. We met Attorney Godstein and we wanted guarantees about outcomes. She stated I am here to gi...ve you options and facts, I am not like other attorneys who have to sale themselves. I am not a car dealership and there is no warranty or guarantee of outcomes. I was shocked by the statement because she asked very simply do you love your child and your wife. I stated yes and will protect them no matter what then she stated I feel you both should proceed this way. You have to understand I was in the Military and I want truth bluntness and being direct about outcomes, I do not want the BS especially when it comes to my children and my wife. IF you are wondering if these are my step children you would be correct. Michelle stated you are in these children's lives and have influence on them. I stated to me they are just like my own and if we have to enter into court then I want you to represent my wife. I feel you would advocate for her and protect my childrens interest at the sametime. Needless to say she got us the outcome we needed and we are better and stronger as a family unit because we had an advocate who stood with us.

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.

I was already involved in a custody battle for my daughter in york county when I went to see Michelle. I had an attorney prior to hiring Michelle was not representing me the way I heard Michelle would. I was already scared to meet with another attorney because my former attorney charged me out the no...se for just attending a conference. And wanted to have another $4000 for a hearing which did not include attorney correspondence, emails, phone call, or letters to keep me informed about my case. I was broke and had no one to help me until I went to the office and met with Michelle on a Saturday. She had made the time for me and worked with my schedule. She greeted me at the door with a warm smile and assuring me she would help. By the end of the meeting I had a first class attorney by my side and knew she would fight for my daughter and I .She setup a payment plan to fit my budget and was honest with about what she could do and would do for my case.She wasn't like my former attorney who promised me I win and talked about how good she was. Michelle explained everything to me in detail. She explained every step she would take and why. When it came to court she was my advocate and got the everything heard the way I wanted it. She got me primary custody of my baby. Everytime I would have a question she would respond to me right away through email or texting. She gave me her personal number and in case of an emergency and said to use it if nescessary. She made me feel like I was more then just a client who paid her money. I realized she had a big heart. I asked once why did she take my case and just charge me a flat rate when any other attorney would keep on charging their clients. An Attorney of her caliber usually would be worth so much more. She laughed and said I love my job and knowing I make a difference . She said that is why I do this because every deserves to have justice especially people that can not afford it. So if you want an attorney that is aggressive and think that you can't afford the best well you need to come and meet with Michelle. Her and her staff are ready to help you and treat you the way all attorneys should. They treat you like your a friend and work with any situation and any budget. And believe me when I say this you will not find anyone more honest blunt and truthful then her. She puts her heart into every case to get the outcome her clients want and won't quit till she feels they get justice. So your want the best come and setup a meeting with Michelle she didn't let me down and she won't let you down either.
