One day while shopping at a department store near where I live in the Bronx, I was arrested and charged with petit larceny. I had never been arrested before and was terrified at the possibility that I might go to jail. Worse, in less than a month I was scheduled to realize my dream and be sworn in as a US citizen, a dream that could now come crashing down as a result of this arrest. I was frightened and had no idea what to do, so I called Steven Goldman. He answered all my questions and immediately put my mind at ease. After discussing the case in depth, he explained how we could resolve the case without jail and without affecting my ability to become a US citizen. He did exactly as he promised. Thanks to him I can happily say I am now a US citizen. From the bottom of my heart I would like to thank Mr. Goldman. I also want to thank his wonderful office manager, Karina, who was very supportive whenever I came to their office, and who literally held my hand while I nervously sat in court waiting for my case to be called. Without them I would not be where I am today.

Six months ago I was frantically seeking legal representation for a misdemeanor case in which I was facing ugly charges that were very seriously threatening my future and jeopardizing any chances of gainful employment. Having never had any serious brushes with the law, I was completely at a loss on how to screen/hire an attorney and talked to at least 7 different ones before encountering Mr. Steven Goldman. Right off the bat I appreciated his straightforward style. He gave me a prompt, direct, and logical assessment of the circumstances with no promises, no sugar-coating, and no hard sell. I was impressed by how much we spoke on that complimentary initial telephonic consultation (two other attorneys wanted to charge me $150 for a preliminary talk) and I came away feeling comfortable and like I wouldn't have to watch my back with him were I to retain his services. Before long I made the decision to go with his firm and accepted his fee. It was not cheap for a man of my modest means, but it was reasonable as I knew that my type of case would be tough, that I was handing Mr. Goldman a weak hand (I foolishly made a lengthy statement to the cops at the time of my arrest), and that it could go on forever in the glacially paced Bronx County system. Without sharing too many details about my case, I can report that my experience with Mr. Goldman was worth every single penny I paid and then some. While it is impossible to claim that my opinion of the man and his services are completely divested from my admiration for him as a person (he's an affable, approachable guy who just happened to share many of my interests) I am objective enough to rate him based on: Expertise - He never claimed to know everything, but it was apparent he knew his business as he routinely provided me relevant, applicable, and concise case information and strategy. Our meetings and conversations were not verbal data dumps mired in "legalese", but actually felt more like classes in which questions were encouraged. Accessibility - At my request, he didn't just take the case and freeze me out of everything, but rather let me be part of the process. Whether it was email, text, calls or meetings, Mr. Goldman was always at the ready with updates. Note: I didn't abuse this by contacting him everyday - twice a month was typical. Humanity - The very nature of the charges I was facing and my insistence on "being part of the process" exacted a personal toll as I was mentally, emotionally, and eventually physically distressed during this time. I was perpetually worried and came to know despair and insomnia I'd not wish on my worst enemy. Mr. Goldman saw this and like a true counselor tried his best to help me through it with advice, humor, and understanding. My case ended as well as it possibly could short of it being miraculously thrown out or obtaining the elusive Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal (ACD) - neither of which was ever really an option give the details of my case. While I'll never get to work in law enforcement or for certain governmental/municipal offices I am happy to say I can move forward in life without a criminal record. Mr. Goldman played a crucial part in that and in my regaining mirth, health, and solid hope for the future. It is without reservation that I recommend him and his firm.

Mr. Goldman is very professional and nice.

Troy Smith is great at his job. Exceptionally professional, always timely, and ultimately he gets the job done.

Let me start by saying, Troy Smith is THEE Man ! He helped me fight one of the toughest battles of my life which was a serious felony he got thrown out the window. Always available for every question I had and got the case closed in a very short period of time. He will forever have my gratitude, if you're looking for a great lawyer he's the guy to have by your side.

Troy Smith's nickname is the "Acquittal King" and he has earned it. He got my son's criminal charges dismissed in record time. My family is forever grateful. I highly recommend him.

I was charged with a murder that I was not responsible for. Having Troy A. Smith represent me at trial was the best decision that I ever made in my life. His nickname is the ACQUITTAL KING but I prefer to call him the JEDI MASTER because that is what his performance was at my trial in destroying the credibility of the police on the witness stand and taking apart the prosecutor's case to prove my innocence.

There's no feeling like having your life taken. i was charges with Murder 2 Manslaughter 1 Manslaughter 2 but Attorney Troy A.Smith handled my case. i was incarcerated for four years not seeing my family and most importantly my son but today i am a free man because of Troy A.

My Attorney is Family I remember when I met attorney Steven Goldman in the Bronx. I was just leaving the criminal courthouse just steps from his office. I had just had a hearing on my false arrest case and as I walked down the street I prayed to God for direction, guidance, and help. I looked up and saw Mr. Goldman’s’ sign above his building which stated he handles false arrest cases. I thanked God and walked right in the office. I was scared, nervous, and confused until I met Mr. Goldman and my fears were calmed. He was personable, transparent, tactful, and helpful. Our case went thru a multitude of changes that I would never imagine because I had never been gone through the judicial system, but Mr. Goldman was on top of it all the way. He always informed me of every change, motion, document and research done. He and his team worked diligently and tirelessly on my case. In fact, when the judge wrongly dismissed my case, Mr. Goldman appealed the dismissal to the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals and won! Over the past nearly 4 years I have learned a great deal about the drive, tenacity and strength of Mr. Goldman, both as an attorney and as a human being. He is a believer in truth and justice and he truly fights for his clients. I have come to know Mr. Goldman’s sincere heart and humility. He gives himself completely to his client’s cases, sacrificing his family, his finances, his time and even his sleep. I love Steven Goldman and I am truly grateful to God for leading me to his office. He is a part of my history and my family. I pray for his success so he help other people the way he was able to help me.

I was being accused of felony robbery in the second degree. Having never been in trouble in my life, I was very afraid. Just after a few minutes of speaking with Attorney Troy Smith, I was finally feeling at ease about my situation. Hiring him was the best decision I could have made. My charges were reduced to a violation. Thanks to Attorney Smith, I am without a criminal record. I highly recommend him for anyone in need of a criminal defense lawyer. He's the absolute best!

I have been working with Troy for a few years now and his success rate in the bronx is nothing short of amazing. If you need an attorney that knows his way around the Bronx courts give Troy a call.

Troy Smith has helped hundreds of people charged with criminal offenses in Westchester, the Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and Long Island, Nassau County. I was able to observe his brilliant trial skills on display during his recent stunning acquittal in the Dale Robertson murder trial.
