Meanwhile, the invoices keep coming. My wife’s cousin died over a year and a half ago and we just want to resolve this situation. I have to say that it almost feels like they're drawing this out on purpose. As they say, Caveat Emptor!

Mr. Goldberg is a lawyer who is available 24 hours and he said the truth about his firm having an A+ in Better Business Bureau. I am a new client and many attorneys want my case but I chose him. He always willing to help me and always answers my calls with respect. When I called the office, the customer service is excellent and Mayra is an excellent and good worker. Mr. Goldberg and all the employees are excellent. Mr. Goldberg and staffs deserve no 5 stars but Billions of Stars.

I took me two years to be able to review Mr. Goldberg and his partner David Waterbury. Mr. Goldberg handled my car accident case. Mr. Goldberg denied to fight my case in court becase I was a hispanic woman with an accent. He personally told me that the court was prejudice to minorities. He has a nice personality but he doesn't know his job and he really don't care to fight for his clients. He just want to get paid. That's all he care for. There are plenty of others lawyers in NY. Good lawyers. I wouldn't never recommend Michael Goldberg and David Waterbury. Michael Goldberg worse lawyer in NY.

Unfortunately I never write reviews, but my experience using this law firm was awful. I never spoke to Stephen, the lawyer. I dealt with Claire. She is extremely condescending and abrupt. I felt I was bothering them when I had a question. Do yourself a favor and please go elsewhere. Caused so much stress for my family.
