Michelle Ericka Goldstein

Michelle Goldstein is absolutely the most caring attorney around! Knows her custody law and uses respectful ways to help you and your child! Not like other lawyers in the area that use bullying tactics to intimidate people ! Her assistant is also a wonderful person and a great asset to the Goldstein ...team. Knowledgable and helpful and cares out about your child!!!!!

I went to Attorney Goldstein at her office expecting to listen to another Attorney making empty promises and grand standing about the creditenials they have. I spoke with TL her Assistant and she was gathering the information for Attorney Goldstein. We spoke for more then an hour for she ran a bac...kground check on the mother and her boyfriend. By the appointment I expected to have a bill for the work her assistant did to prepare for the consult. To my surprize Attorney Goldstein does everything for a flatrate and explained she chose this career to see that the children are protected. I was impressed, by the end of the consultation I had an Attorney and she had prepared the complaint after i had left and it was sent out the very same afternoon. The following week I attended the Family Business Court and Attorney Goldstein conducted herself with elegance and got a temporary order granting me primary pending the conference. She did not grandstand for the gallery, she stated the facts. Needless to say I realized she was a blessing to the legal profession and child advocate. She explains every aspect even down to how a situation may look from a child's point of view. Currently I primary of my children, I also have a new outlook on Attorneys and the Justice System. The mother and I are coparenting and attempting to do what is best for our children. Thanks Attorney Goldstein for rising above the standard and prove skeptics like I was there are Great attorneys still out there who believe in what they are doing.

Went and met Ms. Goldstein and Teresa back in November of 2013 with a child support issue. My child's father who left when she was 4 months was paying support but refused to pay medical expenses or give current pay stubs. After me trying to fight him for 10 years by myself I went and seen Ms. Golds...tein she assured me she would take care of it. 4 canceled court dates later we finally got our day today and I couldn't be any happier i left there feeling like I finally won she had 50 percent of her medical billed paid today and got my support to what it should be plus some!! And now is going after the other 20 percent he is ordered to pay! Her next step is finally getting my daughter adopted by her Daddy my husband who stepped up when her biological father left 10 years ago!!! She gave me hope and so much more a truly great lawyer who fights for what is right for the child!!

My review is a little different, short and to the point. As stated in other reviews Attorney Goldstein is all of those things. The only thing missing is mention of the dedication and time she spend answering endless questions and preparing for each case. In my case it was pushed to a hearing, I had s...o many questions and emailed them all as I thought of them. She answered them and explained she was working on my case with a flu. This was a Saturday. Wednesday of the next week was the hearing. I was so nervous, Monday came the opposing Attorney sent her everything asked to settle the case. I was awarded primary custody and he got every other weekend. I went to office and spoke about the stipulation. I looked at her and stated none of this would be possible without the time and dedication you kept through the process. We sent the signed documents over and I went to pay the remaining balance , I ask her what is my bill expecting to be charged for all the correspondence and hours of work she had done. She stated you paid your balance in full there Is no other charges. Attorney of her caliber should be working in a big law firm as a partner, that was also the time I realized she is not your typical Attorney. Thank you Attorney Goldstein from all those like myself you have helped.

Here is my story, I was 19 living with my parents had a 2 year old son. The father did not want anything to do with my baby until he got with his current wife. They threatened to take my child and the filed for custody and made me out to be a bad mother. Attorney Goldstein met me on a Saturday with h...er secretary TL taking notes. They found a whole bunch of things on the internet within the first 30 minutes I was there. They started working even though I had not paid them a dime. Attorney Goldstein stated even though I had brought the consult fee I could make payments on the account and she would go into court with me. She got me custody of my son. She fought with their attorney. I still make my payments and I still update her even though it is 2 years later. Now I am in my own place and have my son with me. I felt she was more of a friend and I still take my son there to visit her. Not everyone goes above and beyond like this Attorney. She expects justice and she will fight for you to get it.
