Great lawyer — great person
Dorit helped me to register my photography/documentary business, and she made several custom, easy-on-the-eyes contracts with my specifications. She is a friendly, knowledgeable, and creative person and it shows in her work.
Dorit Lieba Goikhman's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have worked as opposing counsel on multiple prenuptual agreements with Ms. Goikhman. She does good work. While I would have liked some different terms in at least one of the agreements, the terms she put in made sense and were in for good reasons. Further, her communications with me were always accurate, on point, and direct. When I refer out prenuptual agreements, she is the first number I provide."
"I endorse this Dorit. I routinely confer with her on matters of family law and mediation. Her approach invariably involves making strong attorney-client relationships, which is something I apply in my own practice."
"Dorit is an excellent attorney who is dedicated to her clients. I highly recommend her services."
"An excellent lawyer who treats clients with patience, care, understanding, and utmost professionalism - an even better person and I wholeheartedly recommend for future services."
"I endorse this lawyer. Dorit and I work together on several matters and she is conscientious, writes well, and is very responsive. I would have no hesitation referring clients to her."
