Excellent Law Firm

I didn't know this was such a powerhouse of a law firm until after I retained them to handle my divorce. The thing I liked best about dealing with them was they always treated me like a person, not just an account or client. The entire staff is that way. I especially enjoyed meeting with Mr. Goldstei...n because he was very understanding and compassionate. Regardless of how bleak I thought my situation was, I felt reassured and confident after meeting with him. During the process of my divorce I also learned that G&S worked in many other legal disciplines including wills, trusts and estate matters, Immigration, and criminal law. The attorneys assigned to my case handled all of it competently and professionally. In addition to handling family law, one of them had been a prosecutor, another was well versed in immigration. About the only thing they don't handle is real estate. I highly recommend this firm. Regardless of the type of legal matter, if it's handled by Goldstein & Scopellite I don't think you can retain anyone better.

Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Goldstein helped guide me through a difficult time. Custody battle of my 2 kids. He was very knowledgeable and helped me legally as well as gave some great personal advice. He definitely seems to really care about his clients.

Excellent Attorney who cares!!!

I hired Mr. Goldstein to handle my legal matters including my business formation, my family law case and a state agency case. I had hired other lawyers previously who did not do what they said they were going to do. Mr Goldstein was able to implement, resolve and win all of my cases. He redponded t...o my calls and did not drop the ball in redponding and submitting evidence as needed. I would hire him again. Thank you.

No Knowledge of Law, lack of ethics in practice and billing

No knowledge of law and just filling meaningless motions to charge client but nice tie and car. Check his education and then you would not make same mistake as me. His best artistic knowledge is that he field to exclude a marriage property in CA a community property state in divorce case in TX anot...her community property state. You should be there to see how he made fool of himself in court and judge's laugh

This person was not a client of our firm. The comments stated do not match any case we have had. This is a fraudulent review.

Business case

Our small firm was based in Washington State. We were named a third party in a lawsuit filed in Texas. The two main contesting parties were a 24 billion dollar firm and a 3 billion dollar firm. Our firm sold 1 million dollars worth of products a year. We were ants among giants with only Goldstein a...nd Scopellite to protect us. Following is the email I wrote to Sheldon upon completion of the case in 2015. Hi Sheldon: This message is overdue. This is because it is hard to find the words to express our gratitude for protecting us during the last 3 ½ years. To say that the entire experience was foreign, stressful, scary and financially devastating would be an understatement. We have never been directly involved in any kind of legal action and so did not know what to expect at any stage of this entire proceeding. We were able to take a great amount of comfort in knowing that you were there, standing in front of us, as a protector. I know from my visit with you that you do this for battered women and I assume all kinds of other legal proceedings. I hope you take immense satisfaction in knowing that you are bettering, and protecting, the lives of people. Anyone can make money. To me, it looks like you are doing well and deserve it. Still to help others is a great service that not many perform. Though it was stressful, I look back fondly at the two days I spent with you. I consider you a unique and talented individual. To have succeeded in two very different careers is quite an accomplishment. As a sales person for many years I have met many people. I count you as one of the most interesting and nicest people I have come across. My wife, Gena, wants me to pass on her gratitude. She saw the stress in me and also took comfort knowing you were helping us. I know that you always have a full case load and need to move on. That said, I hope you will not forget me and count me as a friend as well as a past client. Finding words difficult, let me just close by saying Thank You. Mike and Gena
