Elana was a godsend for an awful situation my family and I found ourselves in. Thankfully, the case was dismissed before going to trial and the criminal side was closed. Elana was diligent and extremely responsive as we built a defense should things proceed for the worse. In fact, she became a good friend throughout the process, and I cannot thank her enough for her kindness and compassion as we navigated an extremely distressing situation. Her kind words and encouragement throughout the ordeal gave me hope and energy to push forward, and that is something rare to find in my opinion. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you for being our “knight in shining armor,” Elana.

Words truly cannot express how amazing Elana was with me, every step of the way. She was truly my angel, both legally and emotionally. Really like a lawyer-therapist combination, all in one amazing person, she was reassuring without over-promising, always uber-responsive and available, and just simply the best as an attorney. She made my legal nightmare basically go away, almost like magic. She just is so amazing in that she knows her stuff and she is ON it like nobody else. A million thank-yous to Elana for all her top-notch help & kindness. Truly an Angel!

Elana is like a angel. I’m very lucky to have been referred to her. She is very professional and knows her way around the court rooms and legal processes to help you(me). She put in a good amount of work with my case. I had to email her sometimes late at night and she was always prompt at all my cases, on time and ready with evidence to prove my innocence. She was very helpful throughout the case and managed to get my case dismissed after many court dates. If you haven’t hired her you should. Thank you Elana

Elana, you saved my butt. I was looking at 6 months in Jail ( that I don't think I would have survived, if I'm being honest with myself). You helped me get through one of the toughest couple of months I have ever had to deal with. With you on my side, I felt like there was no possibility of losing. We didn't get me off the hook completely, but there was nothing you could do about that. We pled out and even got the record expunged! I love you so much!
On a separate note, I have been trying to obtain a business license and there was a bunch of legal wording I had no idea what I was reading. I picked up the phone and was able to call her and ask for help and she just gave me her legal aid. I am so grateful to have found you Elana! You are seriously an angel.
She even helped refer a lawyer to my friend who was having separate legal issues. Got him off the hook as well. Elana Goldstein is THE go to lawyer for any of your needs! If I ever need your assistance again (which, to be honest, I hope i never do) you are the first person I will call.
Thanks again for being there whenever I needed you!

Elana Goldstein was hands the best lawyer I could have chosen to help me. When I first approached her we discussed my options and decided to settle for one and she followed with what we decided. Zero complication with communication and super easy to reach. She even checked up on myself and my family before and after, in and out of court dates. Words cant explain of how great a job and person Elana is.

Ms. Goldstein is second to none. Ms. Goldstein took my case to the California Court of Appeals, and didn't just get me a new trial. Her expertise and diligence was the reason why the appellate court actually reversed my conviction, and the trial court was remanded with instruction to DISMISS my case.
I was present during the oral argument phase of my appeal. Ms. Goldstein TOOK NO PRISONERS. Ms. Goldstein knew my case inside and out, and quite frankly, made the attorney representing the State look like a rookie.
I would refer any client, either for a criminal case, or an appeal with full confidence that the client would receive the best counsel, with confidence to win your case.
THANK YOU Ms. Goldstein, YOU ARE THE BEST!

I am a psychotherapist and was arrested for a misdemeanor. I hired elana to represent me. In addition to my court case, my psychology license was in jeopardy. From the beginning, Elana was friendly, respectful, and professional in all ways. She handled my case from top to bottom. As a result of her efforts, my case was dismissed, and the governing board of my license dropped the case. I highly recommend Elana for any type of criminal defense. You will be glad you did!

I have never met a lawyer as detail oriented and organized as Elana Goldstein. Not to mention, Elana is like an encyclopedia of criminal defense information.
On time, excellent with communication, and a real grasp on our system and how it works, Elana helped me through my cases in a way that made me feel confident time and time again, enough to hire her more than once.
I would definitely recommend the legal services of Elana Goldstein!

Things happen in life, and when they do you want someone by your side that has the knowledge and experience to handle the situation in the best way possible. Elana is not only professional, but kind and easy to communicate with. She is very thorough, and will make sure you have the best defense possible. Her calm and precise demeanor, come across in the courtroom, and I have nothing but respect for the way she handled my case. I would highly recommend hiring her if you are in need of a defense attorney, you will not be disappointed.

Elana is amazing! There are not enough stars to show how much I appreciate what she did, and I highly recommend her to anyone. She came recommended from a large employment law firm that I have worked with for years. I was not disappointed. From the minute we met her, we were impressed. She handled our family situation with a kind but straightforward approach. She was amazing in the courtroom and handled everything professionally from beginning to end. I have referred her to several people with very positive results. Hire her you will not be disappointed!

I begin by saying that Elana Goldstein is a super star lawyer. Her skill level as a criminal defense attorney is tenacious, strategic, and focused. They say "First Impressions" are important. I felt very confident from day one and had no doubt that I had great legal representation, and truly felt that she was the right person to have my probation terminated early and conviction dismissed. Elana Goldstein came highly recommended by her colleagues. She definitely got the job done and certainly displays no intimidation at all in the court room. I appreciate how she leaves no stone unturned, very resourceful, while exhibiting a high degree of negotiation skills. Thank you Elana for helping me be able to move forward in my career and my way of life. I am forever grateful.
