Michelle Ericka Goldstein

Being an attorney you would expect her to be attempting to sell herself and give false promises that she can not keep. I met with Attorney Goldstein and she was very professional and did not attempt to give false hope in my divorce and custody. She was upfront about what the possibilies and what the ...outcomes could possibly be. I had met with 2 attorneys prior to her and they wanted $200 to $300 for just walking in their office. I went to her office under the same mindset of paying this huge amount for the consult and ended up starting the retaining process. I did not want to have a battle so to speak with my wife, Attorney Goldstein discussed and gave me a detailed resolution to propose to my wife. My wife accepted the proposal we emailed Attorney Goldstein and she had everything filed the very nexted day. 90 days elapsed my ex wife and I were divorced and the children have equal time with both families. Attorney Goldstein was caring and understanding with the situation that my wife and I were only married for the children's sake. She helped to show us another way and there are Attorneys out there that truly try to find the best way to resolve matters. Attorneys like this special lady take their time to listen and have an understanding that not all people are out to battle over material items and using their children as pawns to attempt to destroy the other parent. I am a office professional with old fashioned values, I thought getting a divorce was taboo but the way Attorney Goldstein handled my case was more then you can ask for in an Attorney.

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.

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.

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.

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.
