I provide my strongest possible recommendation to hire Mr. Steven Goldman. When my ex-partner violated several terms of the child custody agreement and other terms, Mr. Goldman guided me in the right direction to address my concerns for the well being of my children; and, incidental to that effort, I increased time with my children and my Alimony requirement was canceled ahead of schedule. Mr. Goldman also did a great job in protecting my defined pension and obtaining a fair settlement in a follow-on divorce. He is a great listener, provides realistic options for consideration, and successfully negotiates to achieve the desired outcome. His support staff is sharp and answers E-mails & calls promptly.

Steve Goldman is such an amazing talented lawyer and extremely professional. His team was so well organized with everything in my case and always very responsive to every single question I had. Steve helped navigate me through a very difficult divorce and custody battle from a raging narcissist, and before hiring Steve I felt completely hopeless, as my previous attorney left me high and dry in the middle of the biggest battle of my life, told me to forget about fighting for the marital home and got me for 12k. I put my complete trust in Steve and he never steered me wrong. Not only did he get me half of the money for my home, attorneys fees, full custody of my son, and more most importantly he gave me my life back and peace of mind and for that I am extremely grateful. If your looking for an attorney who will fight for you and the best interest of your children you need to look no further. You will not only have a truly gifted attorney dedicated to his craft but an entire team behind you.

Where to begin? I was an American ex-pat stuck in a toxic relationship while living in Doha, Qatar. When I found out that I was essentially stateless (since I didn’t have domicile), I began to lose hope. Yes, I could have left Doha and repatriated, but never in the world was I going to do that without my children. But my eventual ex wasn’t on board with the kids leaving. As a stay-at-home mother and writer, I felt overwhelmed and powerless. But then I found Steven. He immediately offered a creative and intelligent way to navigate my case and find a way home and, more importantly, to keep the kids stateside. By the time we were, and the real battle commenced (over jurisdiction and other messy matters), his abilities shone. In the end, his professionalism, intelligence, compassion, and meticulousness won negotiations: that, and his ability to work well with an outside expert on Shariah law. Yes, the stakes were that high. Though we’ve yet to meet in person (alas, Covid! Damn you!!), I do hope we do. He deserves a massive hug of thanks. Additional gratitude to the front staff and his assistant. They, too, were professional and warm. My girls are back on American soil, and so am I, and there is no looking back. Upwards and onwards. Thank you, Steven! Mabruk to us both!

Peter and his team were nothing short of heaven sent. They worked relentlessly to work through the case and treated us so kindly. Mr. DePaolis takes these cases on and becomes a super hero as he is fighting for your settlement. I would recommend to anybody! Peter and Jen were fantastic!

Going through a divorce is one of the toughest, life altering experiences anyone can face. With the unique complications I was facing, I needed an attorney who had the experience, temperament, strategic thinking skills, who also genuinely cared about the well-being of their client, to represent me. Steve was referred to me and at every turn, he either met or exceeded my expectations. He made sure that every contact had a purpose and worked to cut legal costs throughout the process. If something was an email matter, then it was resolved over email. If it required a conversation, it was up to me to decide, and when I opted for a conversation, with Steve or the team, it was efficient and provided the clarity I needed at the time. There are no winners in a divorce. But I believe you can achieve fairness, and an amicable split, which leads to a resolution that brings about a sense of closure. What could have been a nightmare of process in the hands of the wrong attorney, was a relatively easy and amicable process that avoided litigation, because of Steven Goldman, Jenna Hayba and paralegal Julia Nelson. I am deeply grateful to them for the peace I am now experiencing post-marriage. I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend family law attorneys Steven Goldman & Jenna Hayba.

Steven Goldman was so professional and personable I highly recommend him to anyone. He did an amazing job hearing my issues and converting them into solutions we could achieve.

Outstanding representation and defense.

Carl Schoenherr was my attorney for my custody, visitation and divorce. He is a hard worker and very dedicated. He did an excellent job throughout the entire process. He is very knowledgeable, professional and kind. He always explained everything in a way that I understood. He has always been quick to answer my emails and he is very prompt. He did an exceptional job at trial! Myself and my family were highly impressed. He was very attentive and on point the entire time. He was able to adjust and adapt to anything that came his way or anything that changed. His closing argument was exceptional! I am happy with the outcome and I'm so thankful I had Carl Schoenherr for my representation. I highly recommend him to anyone that needs representation. He is excellent!

I am an attorney, but have never practiced personal injury law. I was rear-ended at a stop light, and was referred to Peter by another lawyer friend. Peter and his staff handled the case both thoroughly and professionally. It took all the stress off me to resolve the case, and allowed me to focus on recovering from my injuries. I was also quite happy with the settlement that was ultimately negotiated.

I am writing on behalf of Irina V., and myself. Our experience has been great with Peter and his firm. Based on the circumstances, a meeting and a few emails was the majority of our involvement everything else was taken care of for us. She just had to focus on getting better...Peter treats you like family and is truly concerned about your health and welfare, thanks

Steven Goldman is an excellent Attorney who truly serves in the best interest of his clients. He is extremely well mannered and transparent in his performance of providing excellent legal representation. Steven represented me in a lengthy custody case that was very complex to say the least. He was straightforward on what my focus needed to be, the steps I had to take and the considerations that needed to be weighed in order to ensure an optimal outcome of the case. I took his advisement and applied it accordingly which resulted in a favorable end result. I recommend anyone who is looking for a hardworking, poised, experienced, effective and most importantly "play no games" Attorney to consider Steven Goldman. If he was able to make a difference in my situation then he can definitely do the same in yours.

Our experience with Peter DePaolis and his staff was excellent. I'm so relieved that we chose them to help us after our daughter was injured. Their communication with us was consistent, respectful and accurate and Peter's experience was invaluable in navigating us through this process. The final outcome could not have been better. Thanks to the entire team (especially Peter & Jennifer!)
