More Focused on the Clock Than the Case

I scheduled a paid consultation with Mr. Golub for $725, which covered up to 90 minutes. I was fully aware that time beyond that would incur additional charges, which is exactly why I was carefully monitoring the clock throughout the meeting. Around the 70-minute mark, Mr. Golub noted we had 20 mi...nutes remaining. At no point did I consent to going over the 90-minute limit. In fact, I specifically brought up time again as we passed the 1.5-hour mark at 1.70 (because he kept talking and I tried to find a way to interrupt without being rude) to try to wrap things up. He acknowledged my concern and said he would “stop the meter”—but still continued talking, and then charged me for an extra 0.3 hours, bringing the total to $930.50. What shocked me most was what he wrote afterward: “You then said something about having only $725 on your card… But I see that you provided an AMEX card, not some kind of debit card, and so I have gone ahead and run the actual charge on the credit card you provided.” That felt incredibly inappropriate and exploitative. I had clearly explained my financial limit, and to override that because the card technically allowed it—not because I agreed to it—crossed a line. To make matters worse, Mr. Golub had not reviewed the detailed case summary I submitted in advance, which diminished the efficiency and value of the time spent. Compared to other attorneys I’ve consulted (some paid but few was less or completely fre—many of whom were MUCH better prepared and more empathetic—this experience felt transactional, disorganized, and tone-deaf. I also found it disappointing that he admitted he hadn’t reviewed my materials in advance, despite receiving a detailed key documents. For a paid consult at this rate, I expected more preparation and better communication. I ultimately chose another firm who was better aligned with my case and financial situation.

Unfortunately, I left this consult feeling like my limited resources were taken advantage Would not recommend if you’re looking for transparency, professionalism, or integrity in legal consultation

I am disappointed when any client is disappointed. However, these comments are not entirely accurate. My consultation fee agreement says, expressly, that "Andrew S. Golub charges a $725.00 flat rate fee for an initial consultation lasting up to 1.5 hours. This fee represents an approximately 30% discount off Mr. Golub's regular rate for a 1.5 hour block of time.... Any time beyond 1.5 hours will be charged at a rate of $685/hour." I will not get into specifics here about what was discussed during our meeting except to say that the comments about time are not accurate. Nor was there ever any assertion that, notwithstanding the consultation agreement, we had to stop at precisely 90 minutes. I ultimately charged this clilent for _less_ time than actually used, and nothing after the client realized that we had gone 20 minutes beyond the flat fee period. I regret the client's disappointment about my not having reviewed materials before our meeting, but it is not my practice to do so in advance of consults. Indeed, my form confirmation email asks clients to "bring" relevant materials with them to the meeting. While it doesn't say so expressly, implicit in that is that such materials will be reviewed during the meeting, not before. And even if they were reviewed before -- without context or the client available to answer questions about them -- that time would still count towards the total consultation time. In sum, I regret the client's disappointment. I certainly cannot change their feelings, but I believe that I bring transparency, professionalism, integrity, and respect for clients (and their difficulties) to every consultation meeting I conduct. With respect, Andrew S. Golub

Save your Money!

Mr G walked into the room with his credit card processor in his hand, very tacky. After making sure we signed the forms acknowledging his very high fee per hour to hear what we would like his help with, he started going on and on about what a judge would say in court. I repeatedly told him, we had n...o interest in going to court, we were simply looking for mediation. Realizing this may not be worth his time, he advised to do nothing. When he saw that I was ready to leave after this and he had only talked for 30 mins of the 90 he charged us for, he asked us to wait while he went to his office to google some things. Still not giving us any advice of value we left. I went home and did some googling myself and within 10 mins knew more than I had learned from him.

absolute crap

Andrew represented me on an FLSA case; one that could not be lost. Needless to say I walked with a judgment which was substantially less than it should have been awarded in a settlement. I told him the defendants playbook regarding a rule 68 motion... that they would file one, and that per the courts... it did not apply to my case as a "prevailing party" could not have been established prior to the end of my case. Andrew tried to get me to settle for a measly 11K, I said f' No!. Ultimately I was awarded between 70 and 80k, but this is a fraction of the recovery I would have had if I had a competent attorney handling my case.

Knowledgeable, Professional & Compassionate

Mr. Golub helped me settle a harassment/hostile work environment case against a (former) employer. After initially discussing with many lawyers, I decided on his firm. He was very detailed each time we spoke/met, and always remained extremely professional. Mr. Golub gave a very thorough explanation... of what to realistically expect and took time to patiently listen. He is truly compassionate and very knowledgeable of Employment Law. I have highly recommended him numerous times, and definitely recommend him if you are looking for the one of the BEST Employment lawyers.
