I called the contact number I found online, and this man not only called me back after I left a message, but walked me through the website on the phone how to find the issue (which seemed to be to just pay the fine). He then told me to have a good day, without any ask for a payment or an upsell. He helped me tremendously for nothing, I will definitely be using him and his firm if I actually do have a more complicated situation. If he is willing to take time out of his life help with a small issue for nothing in return, I am sure he will do an amazing job if he is needed for something larger. I am a busy physician and help like this never happens, so I am exceedingly thankful and the least I could do is write a review about this all. We need more people like this guy and him firm in the legal world!. DM

I was convinced that I was going to go to jail or get a felony for selling drugs to an undercover…read morecop. Mr. Goldman managed to negotiate it down to a misdemeanor. I don't know what I would have done without him. He was extraordinarily competent and professional but also really nice and relatable. I know he actually truly cared about helping me. He went out of his way to use every resource he had and made sure I didn't ruin my life over such a dumb decision. Basically, the way that I sold the controlled substances to the undercover was extremely sketchy and most people told me that there was no way around a felony. Mr. Goldman was very honest with me throughout the process. In order to avoid jail time or a felony, I thought I might have to enter an intensive year-long drug rehab program. I cried every day thinking about that reality. It would have required many hours a day, every day, in rehab for a year with addicts when I'm not one at all. I didn't know how I would have time for work, how to tell my loved ones, how taxing it would be for my soul. Mr. Goldman managed to work out a deal with the DA by working some magic only a grade A lawyer could achieve. I ended up just getting a misdemeanor and having to do community service. I owe him everything and am enormously grateful. You should absolutely hire Mr. Goldman if you are in a bind. I really think that if I had hired another lawyer, I wouldn't have been so lucky. He knows what he is doing and is an exceptional lawyer!

Steven Goldman has actually saved me from a situation which could have been very dangerous to my…read morecareer, and my life as a whole. I was going to be wrongly implicated in a rape case which would have messed up my whole life. I first contacted Steven on a Sunday night at around 11:00 PM, after I was contacted by an NYPD Detective. Steven was very prompt in his response even that late in the night. We set up an appointment immediately for the next day, Monday afternoon. I went to see him at his Columbus Circle office in Manhattan and explained everything as it happened. He listened to it very patiently, diligently noting down all the details. Then he spoke to both my accuser and the detective, and de-escalated the matter quickly. Were not for Steven Goldman, I am sure I would have been in handcuffs by now.

Facing 9 felony counts in an alleged domestic violence case versus his Ex-wife in the middle of the…read more"Me Too" movement, with a prosecutor who was trying to "make her career" on this case, my fiancé was facing potentially half a lifetime of incarceration. The "deal" the DA was offering was close to 10 years. We were referred to Jay by an attorney who said Jay was worth his weight in gold. That was an understatement. Jay's sense of what was plausible led him to discover innumerable false statements made by my fiancé's Ex several years prior. His superior knowledge of police protocol allowed him to eviscerate nearly all of law enforcement testimony, using it to his advantage and disclosing potential collusion. Jay's unparalleled knowledge of medical matters (+ the use of medical experts) enabled him to counter the allegations of violence. And his superior knowledge of the legal process allowed him to use the rules to my fiancé's advantage, in ways that few attorneys could. During the trial, Jay's background and abilities earned him the immediate respect of the court, the judge and, especially, the jury, who seemed to look forward to his times to speak almost like avid music fan at their favorite concert. I believe it's rare for the defense attorney to have far more credibility than the actual prosecutor, but Jay earned that respect each day of the trial. Perhaps what impressed me most about Jay aside from his skills was his diligence. The volume of material ended up being 3x what any of us anticipated, to the point where it was onerous. While Jay wasn't happy about it, after having made a deal with us, he never asked for more money even though he well deserved to. In the final three weeks especially, when things got intense and the trial was underway, Jay worked day and night, preparing for each days' opposing witness and for those he brought, discovering more and more inconsistencies in the complainant's story and the alleged facts raised by the prosecution. At the end of the day, my fiancé was found not guilty of all the violent felony charges and was convicted of only minor charges. It was a "slap on the wrist" vs. what he could have faced. Jay Goldberg (along with our own conviction in his innocence) wouldn't let that fate stand, despite odds which seemed insurmountable. And we will always be grateful to him.

Reviews are not a reliable way to determine if an attorney is good or not…read more Rely on referral from family and friends. The reviews on here are not a good reflection of my experience with Julie Rendelman. I am a Persian Gulf/ Iraq Freedom Veteran and was framed when my sons mother made a false race based 911 call against me. Unfortunately I did not record her with my cell phone to prove that. Moreover, I was relying solely on my attorney to give my case the attention it deserved. This incident happened on March 11th. It is now August. COVID did more work than her. She did absolutely nothing besides ask me if I would accept my charges dropped down to a violation. And dump her load onto a lesser experienced junior attorney. I made it clear in the beginning that I would not accept any plea. I explained to her over and over about being empathetic to my circumstances of having my son kidnapped from me using the corrupt broken system. They seemed so dull, close minded or blinded by the court room politics. Institutionalized by the court room that they forgot what it's like to be a human being. And what really happens when people are going through a custody battle. Take your head out of the law books and put your eyes and ears to the streets and pay attention to what really goes on. My experience seems very similar to the other bad review on here. She seem to be better at accepting deals with the DA. Conflict of interest rather than doing what's best for the client. I question the integrity of the reviews on here. They seem exaggerated, fabricated and a misrepresentation of this firm. I certainly did not have a five star experience and would like to inform others of that so you are not fooled by it like I was. She did not do any work in the court room as all of my dates kept getting adjourned. I still haven't received my detailed invoice, so I will be taking further action including filing a grievance. I think it's very important that the public stay informed on this. Enough is enough. #BLM
