A True Advocate Who Goes Above and Beyond

I cannot recommend Dan Goldstein highly enough. When I found myself navigating a challenging legal situation, Dan provided invaluable advice and insight with genuine care and generosity. His willingness to guide me through the complexities of my case—offering his wisdom freely—speaks volumes about hi...s character and commitment to helping others. Dan’s communication style is both motivating and empowering. He didn’t just tell me what to do; he educated me on the process, shared critical resources, and helped me understand the path forward with clarity and confidence. His mentorship inspired me to face my challenge head-on rather than feel overwhelmed by it. What sets Dan apart is his wealth of experience combined with his authentic investment in his clients’ success. He truly cares about the people he helps, and it shows in every interaction. Thanks to his guidance, I’m now pursuing justice with the knowledge and tools I need to see this through. If you find yourself in a legal circumstance and need someone who is not only exceptionally knowledgeable but also genuinely dedicated to your well-being, Dan Goldstein is the attorney you want in your corner.

Home construction contractor nightmare

We had unfortunately hired a “crooked” contractor for a major remodel. He over-charged us (per the contract), did some shoddy work, and then when I called his bluff on the over-charging, he put a lien on our home. Dan understood the situation, got his head around the case, and took us on quickly. ...They only did the necessary work, but they did it right! End of the day, the court ruled in our favor, with everything going our way. Dan and his team are fantastic!

Property line dispute resolution

I had a property dispute with neighbors of mine, and was put in a state of panic from not knowing what my rights were or what I could do. I contacted Mr. Goldstein on a referral from a paralegal friend of our family, and he was more than helpful. He set up a meeting while on vacation and thoroughly... reviewed all of my supporting documentation. He even dug deeper on specifically referenced documents to make absolutely sure we were in the right. He was reassuring and precise, and made the process much less stressful than I anticipated it to be. I would absolutely recommend him for any type of real estate council as well as work with him again in the future should such a need arise.

Dan Did an Awesome Job Resolving our Builder Defect Case!

As part of a group of homeowners who purchased townhomes unaware there were unknown defects, I was very skeptical when I found out that the HOA didn't have funds set aside to cover the cost of the needed repairs. We, the current homeowners, were going to be responsible to pay for the repairs, and ti... was determined they were builder defects. Dan was hired to represent myself and the other homeowners, and through his thorough fact finding and persistence in representing our cause, he was able to quickly set up an arbitration appointment and at that first and only meeting, we reached a settlement! I had no idea this case would be resolved so quickly and to my satisfaction. Throughout the duration of our case I was kept informed of all steps taken as well as costs incurred. I recommend Dan to anyone needing quality, professional help, provided with the highest integrity, when faced with any type of case he is qualified to handle. Thanks Dan!

Construction defect mediation

My wife and I, along with several other homeowners in our HOA found ourselves in a very frustrating and seemingly helpless situation. We were told on a few occasions that it would not be worth it to pursue legal action as an effort to recover significant repair costs resulting from construction defec...ts in our homes. Then we met Dan Goldstein. He turned everything around for us and explained the position we were in and what our options were. He gave us reasonable expectations that let us make informed decisions. Before we even decided to hire Dan he had already put in meaningful work to strengthen our case and get us on strong footing. He spent hours sending letters to involved parties, researching historical activity, identifying relevant details in the insurance policies etc... We decided to hire Dan and pursue a track to recover some of our construction repair costs, it was quickly determined to be a great decision. Dan was professional, approachable, practical and always accessible (responded personally to an email from me at an unreasonable hour). Dan worked diligently to understand the moving parts that made our case viable. Dan contacted our expert witness on several occasions to verify details, confirm understandings and narrow down ambiguity. Ultimately we ended with the most favorable result possible. We were able to avoid a lenghty trial and received the outcome we hoped for. My wife and I (and presumably the other homeowners involved as well) wholeheartedly appreciate what Dan was able to do for us. We would recommend hiring Dan to any of our friends and family needing an attorney specializing in construction-related matters.
