A dads fight

I cannot express how greatful I am for meeting Michelle. I contacted her after I received a letter that I needed to attend a criminal history hearing as part of my custody complaint. I was concerned that my past would come back to haunt me as I fight for custody of my daughter. I'm not much of a talk...er and I needed someone to be my voice. Michelle was so wonderful and answered all questions and concerns i had about my case. My wife and I walked out of her office with a weight off our shoulders and an attorney by my side not only for the criminal history hearing, but for the entire custody case. I'm so blessed to have Michelle by my side as I go through this journey. I look forward in working with her.

If it seems to good to be true it IS! Beware!!

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..

Former client

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.

two people that genuinely care for your children...not money!

I Am so glad I hired Michelle! She is compassionate and cares about the child!!! I was very scared about custody and I know my case is a tough one but she goes above and beyond for her clients and her knowledge is impeccable! She is fair and let's you what is what .she answers any email I send her an...d talks me through everything. What a wonderful trusting attorney she is! Her assistant Tereasa, well i can say will do anything for her clients as well! She gave me her personal phone number so I could always have contact with regards to questions or concerns. she is very professional and has a heart of gold and knows her stuff. These two ladies are the perfect dynamic duo... Custody issues ate never easy I found out and the law is confusing and hard but Tereasa and attorney Goldstein make it look easy , they ARE that good. Trust me you will not go wrong, honesty compassion and knowledge is what these ladies bring!!!!

wow ! amazing!

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!!!!!
