I cannot express how greatful I am for meeting Michelle. I contacted her after I received a letter that I needed to attend a criminal history hearing as part of my custody complaint. I was concerned that my past would come back to haunt me as I fight for custody of my daughter. I'm not much of a talker and I needed someone to be my voice. Michelle was so wonderful and answered all questions and concerns i had about my case. My wife and I walked out of her office with a weight off our shoulders and an attorney by my side not only for the criminal history hearing, but for the entire custody case. I'm so blessed to have Michelle by my side as I go through this journey. I look forward in working with her.

My title is different, I was the opposing party against Attorney Goldstein. I felt she represented the Mother in such a way that I should have hired her. We went through a bitter divorce and we both were trying to use the children against the other.. Attorney Goldstein talked with my attorney over a weekend correspondence and they both sat us down and had a very firm talk. Looking back on it now Attorney Goldstein did most of the talking. She was not like most attorneys and talking to us in a demeaning way. She outlined this situation and brought to our attention the children were the ones suffering because of our stupidity. My attorney did not say a word, when I inquired after the meeting why they sat there with their mouth shut, she states because I feel this was a waste of time going through a conference and then trying to work something out. I stated Attorney Goldstein brought up what matters most is the children and their well being. Not only did she suggest ways for us to coparent even went further to give the mother idea of family therapy. 3 years have now past and I have to say thank you for going above and beyond stating to us how we were acting, my children have 2 parents that are coparenting in a healthy way because of the points you brought to our attention that day.

When I went to see Michelle with a desperate need of protection from abuse, she was not feeling well and still did everything she could to make sure I was protected. She knew I was scared in the court, but insured me that I was going to be alright. In the court room, Michelle was no-nonsense. She was professional, firm, prepared and ready for a fight. I couldn't have picked a better lawyer.

I came to Attorney Goldstein trying to find a direction in how to proceed with my custody case. I had already been through 2 attorneys who did not accomplish what was in the best interests of my children. I found not only an honestly regarding Attorney Goldstein but also a alternative outlook on the case. She broached my case with a empathy and compassion for my children and helped to point out facts I was only looking at from my point of view. She went into the courtroom and stated to me I want you to know I will not predict an outcome I will do everything I can to make an outcome that is best for your children and your situation. I was prepared for the worst and Attorney Goldstein was honest about the outcome and negotiated everything so that not only did it help my communication with the other parent but mostly the outcome became a benefit for my children. I am proud to state that because of this attorney she makes a total difference in the legal profession. If more attorneys had have of the empathy and compassion that Attorney Goldstein does there would a lot more children who would have parents that get along and have better communication. She makes a difference. If you are reading this I hope you will seek out Attorney Goldstein and you will understand in the legal profession blessings do exist for she was ours and I owe her that compliment.

I came to Attorney Goldstein not know anything about how to file for custody. My husband left my children and I broke with no income to support ourselves. Attorney Goldstein stated we will help. She is also mentoring her assistant. I broke down into tears and Attorney Goldstein stated this is what we are going to do. My ex husband 3 years later thanked me for everything. He stated at the time of the divorce custody and domestic relations matter Attorney Goldstein was aggressive in court and so respected that he referred his wife to her. We all get along for the children's sake, I was learned from a lot from my experience with Attorney Goldstein. She was the empowerment and example that women should follow. My ex husband to apologize to me after 3 years was do to how strong I became from the example Attorney Goldstein sets. There are some attorneys that treat you as if you are beneath them. Attorney Goldstein empowers her clients to bbbe better and learn from her. She includes them in every decision. For those who feel Attorney Goldstein did not do right by them or their situation, well I must say you did not listen. She only has the best interests of the children first and her clients. This is a Attorney of substance and should really be a public speaker for educating and empowering people on what exactly this court system can do and the consequences of the outcomes. I have read the negative reviews left on here. I do not feel they were clients who took and learned what I have and so many others on the passion Attorney Goldstein has for her profession. Thank you Attorney Goldstein for showing me the benefits of being an empowered woman. In addition empowering and showing a father the empowerment he needed at the time to be a supportive co parent.

I'm not sure where to start or how to best describe the most professional experience I have ever had with someone in this field and of this caliber. As I search through my memories to describe my experience with Ms. Goldstein, I can't help but to realize how fortunate I feel to have Attorney Goldstein's representation. I have worked with several lawyers in the past with my custody issues and was left with poor representation and debt. A lot of debt... I remember with those attorneys feeling like I was "beneath them" and I was "just another case". Everyone who has custody concerns knows just how scared and alone you can feel when you go to court for your child's well being and no one can compare to Ms. Goldstein's caring and compassionate approach with handling your case. Ms. Goldstein truly is a professional with kindest heart in the business. From the very beginning Ms. Goldstein made myself and my concerns her top priority. I always felt confident when going to court proceedings that I had the right attorney on my side. I know that attorney Goldstein has gone above and beyond for her clients as she has done for me. I am thankful beyond words for what she has done for me and continues to do to this day. I encourage you to read through these reviews as I have to make an educated choice on whether to contact Attorney Goldstein for her legal services. I have read about all the lives and family's touched by Michelle in these reviews and that is the Michelle I know. I recommend giving Michelle a call and finding out what she has to offer for you and your unique situation. Thank you Michelle! You are the best!!

My case was made unusual by my firing an attorney two weeks prior to my trial and then seeking out the Law offices of Attorney Goldstein. Both Michelle and her assistant Teresa worked thru the short time frame as if it was their own futures at stake. They both put in long hours and demanded a good deal of information and availability on my part. I truly felt they treated my case as if I was a family member in dire need of help. Teresa helped prepare Attorney Goldstein who then went after my case in court with the greatest professionalism and vigor. Without the carful detailing of this office I would have been gravely unprepared. I can't say enough to explain the comfort I had having Michelle by my side at my trial. She fought to gain a more reasonable custody situation for my children. She also didn't "B.S." me when it came to expenses of a trial. My previous attorney had many challenges in this department, and I was very uneasy hiring someone new. Michelle put my fears to rest both for my custody case substance and it's inevitable expense. I will recommend this office to anyone in the Lancaster area who needs a straight forward, hardworking attorney to represent their family. Thank you for all that was done!

I went to see Michelle and wanted to end my rights to my son. The mother had said she wanted nothing to do with me and I would never see my child. She threw me out when she was 8 months pregnant. I went to see Michelle and while I was waiting her secretary was talking to me about why did I look so scared. I said this isn't for me and I don't think I should be here. She said hold on dont leave, with that she pushed back her chair went into Michelle's office, next thing I knew Michelle walked out and said come with me and let's talk. I was 19 no money working at Burger King and Living with my mom. I told her what I wanted to do and she said no. I said why she said because we are going to get you visitation and Fathers have rights too. She has been in my case and still is on my case making me and helping me to be the GREAT father I am today. If it would not have been for her secretary asking why was I so scared i would have got up and walked out. Now I know I always have Michelle to fight for me and my son. I can never thank her enough, she told me once I am not Attorney who wants to get rich, I want to see justice for everyone equally. She always makes you feel you more then just another paying client. You might not like the truth but with her you get the truth and justice.
