Mr. Goldman, I wanted to say thank you for helping to resolve my expungement case. I was completely dazzled by your communication skills and courage at the court hearing. Mr. Goldman, I know it's your job, but it's my life and I feel you went above and beyond and I just want to express my appreciati...on. Thank You so Much!

Excellent

Great lawyer, very thorough and explains in detail all options. As someone accused of a criminal offense it can be overwhelming. Robert walked me through the process in detail, never feeling rushed, giving me priority and responding fast whenever I contacted him. At the time of sentencing he ...was able to reduce my sentence, and even presented to the judge on my behalf and argument on why some needless terms the prosecutor added needed to be removed which the judge did agree to. Recommended if you are looking for someone who loves helping others successfully navigate through a complex judicial system.

AMONG THE BEST!!!

I've never met a more competent and compassionate Attorney. I am thankful to Robert Goldman for helping secure my absolute and total FREEDOM from the criminal judicial system. Robert is a previous Assistant Prosecutor and I cannot stress how vital this experience is when representing you in court. R...obert is literally brilliant, sophisticated, and totally focused on adjudicating you victoriously regardless the legal matter. This is especially when the State is adamantly objecting you, as in my case, in court of law. I was in a legal catastrophe due to ANOTHER Attorney failing to defend me. I always heard of these "nightmare Attorney stories" but never experienced it first hand until this incident. Robert Goldman with Lewis & Dickstein cleared all the issues up from my previous Counselor's failures. The level of detail, case law, interpersonal skills, and zealous representation placed into my legal victory, Mr. Goldman is deserving of another 5 Start review. Robert Goldman is the BEST among the BEST at Lewis & Dickstein, one of the MOST EFFECTIVE and PREMIER legal firms (TOP 10) in the United States of America.

Expungement

Mr. Goldman represented me for an expungement hearing. I am happy to say the motion was granted . He was knowledgeable, professional, and explained the process very well. I would recommended him if you need similar representation.

Relationship: Co-worker

"Criminal defense attorneys regularly talk about how they try not to take things personally. If I were ever in a situation where I needed counsel, I would want my lawyer to take my case very personally. That is what a client gets when working with Robert Goldman. Robert cares for his clients and fights for them like an old-school defense attorney. He is relentless, intelligent, fearless, and will do whatever it takes to achieve the best possible outcome for his clients. It is without hesitation that I give my categorical endorsement to Robert as one of Michigan’s top criminal defense lawyers."
