Jennifer S. Goldman

Jen and Kris were recommended to me by some friends and after a brief meeting with them I immediately hired them to handle my divorce. They were very thorough, timely and offered thoughtful advice each step of the process to ensure I understood everything that was happening. Document review was very ...fast and they were both great about making sure I knew what was standard vs. what was not standard and what my options were throughout. I will definitely recommend them to friends/colleagues in the future.

Jennifer guided me through the process of a very tense divorce modification. While the outcome was not perfect I was very comfortable with the modified decree. I have a much better quality of life after the fact. I continue to seek her council whenever I am challenged by my ex. Her rates are fair. ... Kris Ryan, is amazing with following up!

I hired Jen back in 2011 to represent me in a case with Child Protective Services. She exceeded my expectations and helped me reach an agreement I was happy with. I had an especially complicated case and in fact I felt like we were forging new ground in family court. A few years later we terminated t...he parental rights of my child's father and had my son's name changed and removed the father from the birth certificate. Jen and Kris are so compassionate and truly care about me and my family and that was evident from day one. They always return phone calls and emails in a timely manner (usually within a few hours ). I have recommended them to a few friends. They extended me grace and treated me with dignity and were very professional and competent.

Jennifer Goldman and Kris Ryan go above and beyond to help with any situation. About a year ago I started to get threats from my daughters biological father. Once the threats got really bad I knew I was going to need some legal help. I was referred to Jennifer from a legal friend of the family. I met... with Kris shortly after I contacted Jennifer. I sat with her for almost an hour going over what the threats entailed and what course of action needed to be taken. We decided that the termination of parental right was what was in the best interest for my daughter. So Kris explained in detail what we would need to do to achieve this. The first step was we had to establish child support since the attorney general had been trying to serve the father for the past 5 years with no luck. Kris was awesome with this because she did some research and actually located where the father worked so we were able to get him served. Jennifer attended the child support hearing with me and we were able to set up what he owes. Next was to file a petition for termination, once that was filed with the courts we had to wait 30 day to see if her father was going to answer the petition which he did not. Throughout the waiting process I did have some questions and anytime I emailed Jennifer or Kris directly I would get a response within that day or first thing the next morning. That was awesome to me because I am sure they have plenty of other clients and both of them made me feel very comfortable and at ease when talking with them. While we were waiting for the fathers answer Jennifer stated that since my daughter father is registered with an indian tribe that my case fell under the Indian Child Welfare Act and that we needed to draft a letter to the tribe to make sure that they didn't want to intervene in the case. We got a response from the tribe fairly quickly and they stated that they did not want to take action, so that was excellent for us. I really appreciated the fact that Jennifer and Kris were on top of every possible thing that would need to be done. Jennifer explained to me that we really needed to take that step just incase in the future the father decided he wanted to bring up that we did not go about the case correctly. Now that we contacted the tribe got their response it was just a waiting game to see if the father would respond. The 30 days went by and he never responded so Jennifer and Kris contacted me to let me know when my court date would be. Which was basically for the judge to approve our termination. Jennifer and I went to court for the termination and there was a person from the attorney genera there to ask some question basically due to the fact that we were terminating it needed to be on record that the father would not owe any current support and only back child support. Once the child support representative asked me questions Jennifer asked some questions and the judge ruled in our favor and the termination was complete! I am so thankful for these 2 women. They stayed in contact with me the whole time and made sure I knew every step of the way. Also when the letter to the tribe and the termination letter were drafted they were emailed to me first to make sure I agreed with what was stated. Kris and Jennifer were such an inspiration to me throughout this whole process I decided that this was something that I actually wanted to look into as a career for myself. I then enrolled into a paralegal college and started my first class today so I can be on the road to getting my bachelors of science in legal studies. I will be changing my daughter last name as well and am just saving up the money to do so. As soon as I can I will be contacting Jennifer to get this process going! I definitely recommend Jennifer Goldman to anyone that needs legal help. She is awesome and so is Kris Ryan and they always made sure that whatever we were doing was in the best interest of my child which I believe is very important!

Jennifer Goldman is an outstanding custody and family law attorney. Over the course of 3 years, she worked diligently to resolve issues in a very high conflict custody case involving my son. She stayed calm and resolute, and kept me calm when tensions were high. She is very professional and knowledge...able about the law and how the family law judicial system works. After a long, drawn-out process, she achieved the results I wanted, which were in my son's best interest. I would hire Jennifer again and highly recommend her to anyone wanting a top-notch attorney for both high conflict and cooperative family situations.
