Client Testimonials

When I met Karen Goldstein I was in the worst legal position I have ever been in. I was emotionally devastated and my future and that of my family's was uncertain. Karen Goldstein not only put my mind at ease, but her friendly and calm (though very professional) demeanor quickly let me know that she was no rookie looking to gain some experience with me and my case. She explained the procedures to me from start to finish, gave me best and worse case scenarios and throughout the entire process did everything that she could do to obtain the best outcome for me and my case. Karen Goldstein fought for me. Karen Goldstein defended me. Karen Goldstein won me the privilege to return to my family with my head held high. I appreciate everything that she did for me and my family and I would whole heartedly recommend her to represent any of my friends or family should they ever need a criminal defense attorney. Karen is reliable, credible and extremely experienced. And I for one am so glad that she helped me when I needed her most! J.B., former client

Ms. Karen Goldstein helped me through one of the worst periods in my life, a first offense ‘DUI’. I was completely out of my depth here, never thinking that this could happen to me. She clearly explained all the legalities involving my case and was very supportive. Ms. Goldstein did not make me feel like a bad person, but a person who had made a bad choice.

With Ms. Goldstein’s great legal representation and expertise she was able to overturn my DUI to reckless driving. I heartily recommend Ms. Karen Goldstein for anyone who needs someone in their corner and ready to fight for them. Ms. Goldstein, thank you from the bottom of my heart, you helped me through this trying time, with my dignity intact. A.Y., former client

I have a new problem. My problem is trying to find the words to adequately explain my gratitude for your [Ms. Goldstein’s] hard work. Fourteen months ago, I was looking at a sentence with a ten year minimum. My wife was pregnant with our second child and my whole world was being torn apart. I had never been incarcerated and the thought of spending the next ten years in a cell was unimaginable. However, you changed my life forever. To think that I will have served sixteen months in federal custody and walk out the door, is truly a miracle. I can honestly say that in my fourteen months in the federal prison system, I have not been a witness to any miracles. It is very easy to lose hope when everyone around you is losing ten to twenty years of their life.

You however, kept my hope alive. From your brilliant arguments in the courtroom to fighting with the AUSA, you never gave up on me. I have seen so many lawyers push their clients into quickly signing a guilty plea, just to get their paycheck and move on to the next case. So many defense attorneys look at us like we are just a number, (another paycheck). It is rare to come across a lawyer who takes a good look at the man they represent.

I have never seen a lawyer with the kind of dedication and personal interest that you [Ms. Goldstein] displayed in my case. You completely contradict any stereotype or label that most defendants will say about their attorney. Not only did you give me my life back, you gave my wife her husband, my children their father, and my parents their son.

Thanks to your hard work and dedication, I can teach my daughters to ride a bike instead of drive a car. No words can ever adequately express my gratitude, but I want you to know that I am blessed to have you in my life.

I pray that you continue to 'fight the good fight' on behalf of men like myself. The United States does not fight fair, and it is a shame that so many families will lose their loved ones to the rampant injustice that takes place in the federal system. On behalf of my family and I, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for saving my life and a job well done. S.B., former client

One of the scariest times in an individual’s life could be the moment they are charged for something beyond a simple misdemeanor, this is my life. The instant I met Karen Goldstein, my intense nerves went from exhilaratingly racy to calm and protected. Her abundance of knowledge and expertise of my case was nothing short of perfection. From the moment we shook hands to the very last time we spoke, the professionalism and service was absolutely remarkable. Not only did she achieve the results I wanted but she went above and beyond to further assist me one year later with additional support, I could not of asked for a better attorney. Since then, I have confidently recommend Karen Goldstein to several people I know that have been in my same situation. Thank you so much for everything you did. E.R., former client

After hiring Ms. Goldstein, I instantly felt relieved that I was in good hands. Being a first time offender and feeling lost battling the legal system, Ms. Goldstein walked me though the process, answered all my questions promptly, and constantly checked up on me to make sure I was following up and checking in with the court and probation. In our first meeting, she was prepared, knowledgeable about my violation and the law, plus she provided me with options and different scenarios before going into court. Having been in my situation, it is great to have someone you can trust and to know that Ms. Goldstein has your best interests at heart. C.O., former client

Hiring Karen Goldstein to represent me was one of the best decisions I have ever made. It is very rare in this day and age to hire an attorney that truly cares and is dedicated to receiving the best outcome for their clients. In Karen, I found a very loyal, hard working and extremely knowledgeable attorney who was able to get me the results that no other attorney was willing to even mention. She is a consummate professional and I recommend her to all friends and family any chance I get. B.S., former client
