Terrible experience with this firm. Rarely returned my calls or messages. I had to file my own motion 2 hours prior to the deadline as they couldn’t get it done in time. The attorney Agreed to things without my consent. I now have to start paying child support after 7 years of not paying because of their unilateral decisions without my consent.

Paid this firm 12.000 for the attorney to not even know when the court dates were. So I ended up settling out of court just to see my child. Because my ex took him for 6 months with no custody order. Goldman was no help to us whatsoever except the steal our money.

Seek representation elsewhere I spent around $15,000 on their representation and it would be one thing if we lost the case but that wasn't what happened, they failed to even file the paperwork right to set up a court hearing. so I spent $15,000 to get a hearing date that i never got, because they fail to file in a timely manner, and then once you fire their attorney they send you a bill for $400 to sign a paper saying they are fired. seek representation elsewhere save your money. They may be great people and this may have just been a bad couple of months for them, but in my experience very poor performance over all. Also I have the I have the court document and invoice to prove I am not slanting the facts Hopefully their business practices improve in the future.

These people are why God created Hell. They are they pad their bills. Refuse to give communications. I will be filing a comlaint and hiring another lawyer to sue them. They lied and do not represtent your needs. Do not use them. They actually mocked my custody situation. Refused to communicat with other law firm so they could drag out the suit and make more money. Now they refuse to hand over communications, Because there isn't any. Burn in Hell.

This place stole almost 10 grand from me, didn’t do anything for me AT ALL. Adjournments and delays, nothing was done. My lawyer was extremely negligent. Part of my case was increasing child support and my lawyer managed to have it decreased. Hiring this law firm ruined my life, messed up my case horribly, and then they withdrew leaving me literally STRANDED. Also billing department is borderline harassing. I am so upset with this law firm. They have been reported

I worked with fanfan he is one of the worst lawyers I have ever worked with. I called this place they charged me $200dollar just to talk to someone to see if they would take my case. Then they said yes thier take my case but I need it filed before Dec. I sent them the $3500 retainer the same day. Now this all is happening at the end of September. Now they know I already have a 50/50 court order saying when I get to call the kids and everything. I found out my ex wife put her new bf on my kids school paperwork as they dad. I tell this Attorney I want the kids for the summer but if I could get them outright great. He then tells me I need to get my name on the kids paperwork at school now guess what once that happens I can't use it in my case. This guy is the worst if you get a sign him leave because he charged me the hold retainer plus for 11 hrs of writing paperwork he messed up on and charge to current it. Fanfan had to cheat the bar because no one should be that useless.

They do not represent you. They will bill you. Unethical group. I gave multiple ways to settle the case early. They stretched the case out longer then they needed to, to extend the billing. They did not offer advice when asked. left me vulnerable to physical abuse.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
