Michelle Ericka Goldstein

She was hired for a child custody case. The one time she showed up to court , she did not say a word, she simply allowed the hearing to take it's course with no defense for my case. Her and her so called assistant, have a habit of not returning calls nor working on cases. She sat on my case with the ...audacity to assume her needs came before my child. If she does not have the time than do not take money for new cases and have you sign an agreement. She had an excuse for every error , no show and no response. She would not take responsibilities nor be accountable for her lack of counse ans rudenessl. I strongly suggest you seek an attorney elsewhere. She clearly displays her vindictive mannerisms on here. Read her responses to anyone writing their review she sees as a negative . The truth hurts. Unfortunately, she knows nothing about truth only in getting her money. Her attorney skills are unprofessional and she is not active in her cases. Move onto another attorney! Your case is too important to have her waste your time !

Ohhh where to start with Michelle... let's see I hired her for a child custody case because my sons mother won't let me see him, and after a down payment was paid she then proceeded to tell me I have to pay her another 500 bucks in travel fees. When I questioned it she got real nasty and then ignored... me. I'm new to the process so I questioned a 500 dollar travel charge, IM SORRY! The complete disrespect was unbelievable. Shortly after that she just ignored me. Going on 4 months now and haven't heard anything back. Lovely. Thanks! Stay away from this person. She's a horrible person with no desire to help people. Stay far away from this lady she's as cold as they come!

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.

Michelle is a very nice person however her law skills are very questionable. She has an aid that works with her that has no legal background, she does not deal with issues in a professional way, the only thing she cares about is payment. If I had kept her as my lawyer I would not have the custody tha...t I have today, I'm confident that i would have lost all custody due to her lack of knowledge of PA law. If you have a complicated case that look somewhere else, if a lawyer and her price seems to good to be true then it IS! Beware..

Michelle is a very nice person but is not a very good custody attorney. I trusted her with my whole case but the truth is the farther involved my case got.. The more I realized that I had made the biggest mistake by hiring her. I do not usually write reviews but I know there will be someone out there... that is going thro the same custody situation an is looking anywhere for hope. UNDERSTAND that their are other attorneys out their with just as good $ rates and way better representation.. You just need to keep looking. Custody cases are stressful and the last thing you need is an attorney that truly doesn't represent her clients the best way possible. I advise the next person who reads this review to take a moment and really think twice before you hire this attorney. Wish you the best of luck.
