This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Thank you!!

Five stars!! No, ten stars!! The legal help we have received from Goldstein Law Office has been incredible in every way. The staff manages to be both professional and personal at the same time. The environment is very welcoming and pleasant. The desire to help you as clients and as people needi...ng legal help is genuine—it is obvious that the entire staff wants to and will do their utmost to provide expert legal guidance. We have been working with Ms. Christi Goeller, and she is top notch. There are not enough positive adjectives to describe her expert legal advice, her ability to advise clearly and concisely, her empathy, her kindness, her people smarts. Ms. Goeller knows how to size up a case!! I enthusiastically recommend Ms. Goeller and Goldstein Law Office to those seeking help and justice. I am so happy to have this opportunity to share our excellent experience with whoever reads this review. What a joy to be happy and grateful for such outstanding legal representation. Thank you.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Not all attorneys are the same!

When I first emailed Mrs. Goeller, I was expecting a typical response any other attorney would cut and paste into a message. Her message was reassuring, knowledgeable, and very rewarding for my conscience. She went above and beyond when I sent her a few inquiries about my case and made me feel comfor...table enough to represent myself and obtain the results that I wanted. If this is the type of customer service I will get from a few inquiries, I can only imagine the level of confidence and assurance anyone else would receive by having her represent you. She is very personable and trustworthy with her knowledge and meticulous attention to detail. I hope I never have to reach out to her again, unless it's under better circumstances :)

Professional, knowledgeable lawyer for small business

Christi helped our business resolve various legal issues in the last two years and was always very professional, knowledgeable and responsive. She reviewed business contracts, consulted on employee/employer labor issues, and general contract review. We would definitely use her again.

Extremely Competent and Knowledgeable

Christi Goeller has the unique combination of professional demeanor and approachability, not to mention that she is as smart as a whip. When my wife and I were named as defendants in a frivolous law suit Christi helped us develop a strategic path forward. If you find yourself in need of a strong an...d confident defense attorney you are going to want her on your side of the table and not the other way around. I highly recommend her.

Highly Recommend!

I worked with Christi Goeller on an employment case. She was very knowledgeable and effective. She responded to my phone calls and emails very promptly. I decided after speaking with her not pursue the claim for personal reasons. She was very understanding and trustworthy. I would recommend he...r to my closest friends and family. I had a great experience working with her. She helped me very much, and I greatly appreciate her. I cannot thank her enough. She is an extremely ethical person.
