Criminal Defense 34%

Sometimes, a criminal case needs to be fought and won. Sometimes, it needs to be disposed of quietly. I have many years of experience in both. You need someone to help you through this process. When your family and your liberty are at stake, you can't just go with the first name in the phonebook.

DUI and DWI 33%

Whether you have never been charged with this sort of thing before or you have been without your license for years, it is not necessarily true that all DUI cases result in conviction. Some of the cases need to be worked out but some need to be fought and won. Call me so we can discuss the difference.

Speeding and Traffic Ticket 33%

Should you fight your ticket? Absolutely. Even if you were wrong. The points will haunt you for years but with the right lawyer, you could negotiate your ticket down to fewer or even zero points!

Very good Lawyer

Mr. Goldman handled my case with professionalism and tact. Very good listener and adviser. Felt non- stressed during our appearance before the Judge. When I had problems using "Zoom" for the court case Mr. Goldman was sure I was able to communicate with the court explaining the problem. A ver...y good person. I would recommend his services.

Amazing!!

Ezra is an amazing attorney! I inquired on a Sunday about an issue I got into and he called immediately. He was understanding, reached out through text messages and never had me waiting. He made me feel like I was his only client. Ezra even took payments from me due to my circumstances Hands down he... is someone who I will always refer a friend or family member. Thank you so much for helping me!

Very Efficient!

Ezra represented me for a traffic ticket - which he got reduced - no points - and I did not have to go in front of the judge. I would recommend him anytime!

He saved my life!

How do you come up with the right words for someone who saved your life? That’s exactly what Ezra did. He saved my life. I was accused of unspeakable crimes, facing the rest of my life in a prison cell. I had no hope. Then a family member called Ezra. He was the answer to my prayers! From... day 1, I knew I was in good hands. He dove head first into my case and never slowed down. He explored everything, going further, and doing a more thorough investigation than the police. Ezra made me feel like I was his only client. He is brilliant, fierce, and compassionate. Watching him in the courtroom, you will truly see a warrior. Judge and jury respect him and the prosecution fear him. Six charges, three of which were capital crimes that carried life sentences - and six NOT GUILTY verdicts! Mr. Goldman saved my life and will fight until he very end for any client.

"I endorse this lawyer as a valuable member of this forum. Attorney Goldman, who participate in this forum, unselfishly provids useful information to those in need and should be commended. Further, the type of information conveyed is in the true spirit of professionalism where information is provided to help those in need which is the underpinning of the legal profession. Often the users of this forum are given second opinions that expand on information or provide contradictory information. Providing information empowers the uninformed to go forward with confronting their legal problems and possibly find the right lawyer from those who contribute information. I recommend and endorse this attorney for all listed areas of practice in his profile."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
