Treats my kids like family

Ilene Goldstein is an outstanding attorney. I was very impressed with her knowledge of the law and her ability to anticipate issues that could impact my case. It seemed as if she was one step ahead. In addition, I was impressed by Ilene's compassion. She always was there for me, ready to answer my qu...estions and address my concerns. Ilene become a major part of my kids’ lives and was available 24/7 to ensure their safety. She has spend many a night at 10:30pm helping my kids. The phone is always picked up.

I would highly recommend Ilene.

I was very fortunate to have Ilene as my attorney. Since going through my divorce a divorce is very difficult, it always felt good to know that Ilene was there for me. Her priority was to get the best resolution to my case in an efficient manner. And she did that very well in my case. I was very p...leased and would give Ilene Goldstein my highest recommendation. I actually have, by recommending her personally to family or friends when they needed a referral. Unfortunately, I had to go back to court several times for post divorce work over an extended time as my children grew up and I knew I could always count on Ilene to give me excellent advice and get me the best outcome possible. She made me feel so comfortable I consider her a friend as well as my attorney.

Advocate for only her wallet

Could not keep information straight on my case. Not an advocate ffor women. Her quality of work does not justify her high fees.

Terrible, will do nothing and drain your money

Argumentative to your detriment. Does not work towards resolution, actually made my divorce more contentious than it needed to be. She ripped through the retainer and in the end, nothing was done. Didn’t care about my family at all. I found someone else who was able to conclude all issues and eve...n repair good communication with my co-parent spouse. Ilene set us back years. She will only serve to annoy the other party and inflame an already difficult situation.

Dissatisfied former Client

Ms Goldstein is knowledgeable but lacks in street smarts. When dealing with the other attorney, she was unable to conclude any outstanding issues. I had to hire an attorney, who was not a divorce lawyer, to finalize all of the outstanding issues. If I had not done this, I feel that my divorce wou...ld have continued to be prolonged and add to my already astronomical bills!
