Integrity and Expertise - the best family law representation in NOVA I retained Steve Goldman for representation lasting approximately one year in 2017. Steve is an honest man, and a good guy. The kind of guy you want to have your back. And if this if your first rodeo, take note - you NEED someone in your corner. Second, he's an expert in his field, someone who has bent over backward for me, worked through the night, given some off the clock guidance, and has genuinely cared. I challenge you to find any other family law attorney in NOVA who would give you 15 minutes unbilled outside of a potential consultation. When your lawyer truly cares about you, you have the right person in your corner. Even at times when I became emotional and frustrated, Steve's level head prevailed. He provided guidance and consultation when I was unable to see past the next day's motion. And if you read his bio, you'll see that he is an expert at mediation. Let me be the first (although likely not the last) to let you know that may be an understatement. Having perhaps the most difficult ex-wife the NOVA courts have ever seen, I felt hopeless that we could reach any agreement. Steve's ability to effectively communicate, remain level-headed, and professionally guide the discussion back to the important points repeatedly led us away from arguing and back to the points that mattered. I have more time with my children now because of Steve. And like many others have done, he hasn't left me with a huge bill and forgotten about me. No matter what - when you've got Steve in your corner, you've got an advocate; you've got an advisor; you've got the best. Very satisfied with Steve's representation.

I hired Steve to help me through my divorce process. There was nothing about this case that was typical, routine or standard. He walked and talked me through everything, always available by phone or email and answered every question that I had. He heard my concerns and through a collaborative effort, we got through it with results we were pleased with. Highly recommended.

My ex-wife has caused me to spend the last 8 years in court, fighting for my parental (custody) rights and a fair support arrangement. She has hired the most aggressive, craft attorneys possible and has never budged an inch to do what is fair and what is the right thing. When I hired Steve Goldman to represent me, I had low expectations. After being unfairly taken advantage of so many times, and for so long by my ex-wife, I never thought justice and fairness would prevail. I was wrong. Steve Goldman righted a situation that was very wrong. He was able to get a negotiated settlement, even when I thought it was impossible. He helped me avoid thousands of dollars in unnecessary court hearings and court costs. He helped keep me balanced through the whole ordeal. While his firm, Curran, Moher and Weis is one of (if not the best) law firms in Northern VA, Steve Goldman is the best attorney I could have ever hoped for through this all. I know that I can count on Steve to help me overcome any legal attacks from my ex-wife that I might face in the future.

Having had a very rough marriage, the first attorney I had hired for a temporary custody hearing failed me on many levels, from basic hearing preparations, to the court room where I ended up loosing so much more than I ever thought I would. And while I knew I needed a new attorney, I was somewhat stuck in fear. But, some miracles really are unbelievable. I was given Steven's name through a very dear friend. Steven is highly recommended by his superiors, and as well as others. He turned a great deal around in my case, minimized the emotional impact for myself, my children and other family members who were stressed upon my behalf and all so that I could focus on the important issues and address things effectively. He's ingenious, extremely sharp, fearless with opposition, wastes no time to knock out issues and absolutely NOTHING gets past him. I have referred him to other family and friends who are equally as happy with him. My family and I are in a far far better place all thanks to Steven. And while I hope and pray I never have to divorce again, Steven will be the first I call when it comes to getting the right guidance and effective steps forward. If you are looking for an attorney who can answer your questions directly, solve the issues and ensure you are protected, call him, it'll be the best call you ever make!

Steve helped me through a very stressful situation when my fiance and I only had 3 days to change and sign our pre-nup before our wedding. Steve worked tirelessly to get everything wrapped up quickly. He is a great communicator, and explained every section of the agreement very clearly. He is also very caring, calm, responsive and collaborative. I would highly recommend Steve as an attorney who will have your best interest at heart!

I completely trust Steven Goldman. He helped me draft a prenup, which was an emotionally charged and difficult time. He listened to our particular case and helped craft a document that protected my interests, but was something my now-spouse could sign. Steven is very tough but also a decent person and works to create the best possible outcome. He guided me through some very difficult and upsetting negotiations to a very good outcome. He is always extremely accessible. He is very honest and does not overbill. I even received money back from my retainer - a true first in any dealings I have ever had with any lawyer. I could not recommend Steven enough. He is emotionally wise beyond his years and is a very excellent lawyer.

Steve Goldman was everything I could have asked for in a divorce attorney. He was conscious of my budget and extremely fair when it came to billing and, at the same time, did everything he could to ensure the best possible outcome for me. He was assertive when necessary but always kept his cool and I felt like he had the upper hand in all of the unexpected situations that arose. He has a good understanding of people and the complex emotions involved in divorce cases. Whenever I had questions or didn’t know the best way to handle a given problem, his levelheadedness helped me see my situation objectively and come to the best decision. On numerous occasions, he provided me with careful, thoughtful answers to multiple lists of questions and I never had to wait long for a response. If I had to do it all over, I would hire him again without hesitation.

I write this as a small token of gratitude and appreciation to Steve. He represented and guided me through what was the worst time of my life. He is smart, knowledgable, patient, and so skilled at working with and communicating with all kinds of people in this often emotionally charged field. I know now after two years of living with my divorce stipulation and the arrangements we made that he really looked out for me and my daughter in ways that I didn't understand until later. Don't let his youthful appearance make you doubt his wide range of experience and tremendous strength. I only wish he stayed local in NY. Thank you Steve.
