Highly Skilled Experienced Attorney

James Goldstein handled a very difficult divorce case for me. My case went to trial and, and after a full day in court we prevailed. He is very honest, gives very realistic advice, and fights hard for his clients. I felt very comfortable and confident with him throughout the process. His staff is ext...remely professional and hard working as well. I highly recommend James Goldstein!

Great Attorney!

Mr. Goldstein was a tremendous help to me! He had a lot of patience in answering all of the questions I had and always responded quickly. He was flexible and able to come up with a way to help me within my means. If I ever need help again in the future, I know who I can reach out to.

Helping people

Jim did an exemplary job working in my defense on a protection order. He understands that there are two sides to every story and that when dealing with people there can be emotions and accusatory language confusing a legal system that generally lacks accountability when placed in a compromising scen...ario. Jim has an expertise as a defense attorney and quickly understood my concerns, the law, and the best path forward to help me. Over the years I figured I called 50+ lawyers until I found Jim. I needed Jim's help and I just wish I could have found him sooner.

Jim Goldstein was excellent

I contacted Jim Goldstein regarding developing a prenupital agreement; my situatiuon was complicated because my fiancee is in Central America and does not speak english. Jim worked with me to design a prenup offering me protection in the event of a divorce and also walked me through the process of h...aving the document translated and assited me in finding a spanish speaking atty to represent my fiancee. Jim was very responsive to my questions and responded to emails quickly. I highly recommend him.

I highly recommend Jim Goldstein

I have had three lawyers in my life and Jim was easily the best. In a extraordinarly difficult situation he brought about what was probably the best possible outcome for myself. Jim always returned my calls, always, I felt did his best for me, and in the end provided me with a succesful outcome.... If anybody is looking for fighter to represent them in court I recomend Jim Goldstein.

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.
