I worked with Joshua for a very short period of time, but it's clear he's a leader in the field and highly knowledgeable regarding the immigration process.

JOSH IS AN ANGEL AND MIRACLE MAKER

I don't know where to begin . But Josh is a miracle maker and a gift from God. After waiting for over a year and half for my son, who was under Administritave,to be issued a visa , the consulate called him to bring in his passport only after Josh filed a writ of mandamus. Only one week after Josh fil...ed in the lawsuit. I cannot beleive it. HE IS AN ANGEL. As soon as I signed with their office, the lawsuit was filed, same day. SAME DAY !!!! One week later the consulate called !!!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU JOSHUA

One of the best lawyers in Boston

Josh is not just very friendly and sincere; he is a human! He gives the most attention to help families and people, follows up and checks on how you and your family are feeling and are doing. He helped me a lot until I finally got my paperwork approved! Thank you so much Josh and your amazing team fo...r everything you're doing for us!

Green Card and Citizenship assistance

Josh is efficient, knowledgeable, and collegial. He helped me 10 years ago on my Green Card application, and now I am working with him again on my Citizenship. He always responds promptly when I have a question, and knows every in and out of every process. Additionally, a few years ago, my Green Card... was stolen, and Josh helped me navigate the stressful experience of applying for a new card and managing travel during the interim. I feel reassured by having him in my corner during the immigration process.

Highly recommended, the most supportive lawyer

Joshua Goldstein helped me with my very complicated immigration case when others said it’s impossible. He is the best lawyer in Los Angeles. He is a very experienced, competent and very helpful lawyer. He and his team are true professionals, who have the best strategy for your case. Everyone that I h...ave met and worked with during my complicated divorce, my provisional waiver I-601a for unlawful presence to my green card approval and citizenship was supportive, courteous, and helped guide me every step of the way. I highly recommend Joshua Goldstein law firm to everyone who is looking for professional knowledgeable and trusty immigration attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
