Sylvia Goldschmidt is the worst! She bullied me into settling for worthless LLC’s. The divorce cost over $200,000 and she did no follow up after I settled. I had to hire another attorney who told me what a bad deal I made and that she did not do any forensic accounting. However she did have me hire a forensic accountant who did nothing for an additional $50,000. She would not make any appointments with the other attorney at her office, so she could charge by the hour for the drive to and from NYC. I can go on with so many stories as she dragged the divorce on for 3 years…

My agreement is worthless as my ex husband does not follow it . I have had to go to court several times over past 5 years and when I called her recently , wanting to discuss coming to court with me , she wouldn't even get on the phone unless I came in for a $475 consultation . This is after spending 100k on my divorce. .

This lawyer fights for the woman only! It cost my friend @ $40,000 to get stuck paying his non-working ex-wife more than $2000/month. Now he's living paycheck to paycheck and the witch has no care in the world. Make sure you go in front of a judge who asks you if you're ok with your lawyer. This one avoids that 4 obvious reasons. Watch out!

Sylvia Goldschmidt represented my sons and me in a contentious divorce ending a marriage that had lasted more than 20 years. My ex-husband and his attorney had refused to negotiate the major issues of maintenance and child support until the first day of the trial when the case was settled. There were a number of complicated, detailed financial issues that had to be addressed, and Sylvia quickly processed the financial information and applied it effectively in the negotiations and settlement. During the process leading up to the trial, Sylvia effectively and skillfully obtained critical financial information in depositions. Sylvia also developed creative solutions to specific settlement issues that were eventually implemented. In addition to intellectual and strategic skills, the resolution of this case required patience, stamina and strength which Sylvia demonstrated throughout.
