If you are looking for strong representation, especially in high conflict cases, then look no further because you have found the right law group. I had been divorced for several years when I retained Goldstein Law Group to represent me in seeking a modification to my custody and support order. At the time of my divorce, the combination of my emotional state and the weak representation from my former attorney led me to sign what was, for me, an unfair, unbalanced custody and support order that didn’t benefit my children or myself in any way. Although the language of my order left the door open for me to have additional parenting time with my children, it was opposed by my ex-wife at every turn despite my persistent requests. This led me to Mark Goldstein and Francine Galante. Mark listened to my story, reviewed my poorly written property settlement agreement from several years prior and solidly advised me on what I was in for. It was the fight of my life. He was honest with me about the time, energy and money that would be involved. I was given opportunities along the way to settle, which would have cut my legal expenses, but would not have given me the fair agreement I was seeking. I spent 15 long months in litigation with my ex. As expected, she blocked every attempt at negotiation, despite being represented herself by an attorney, despite multiple rounds of mediation, despite telephone conferences with the judge, culminating in several days of testimony at a plenary hearing. Francine and Mark worked diligently on my behalf communicating with the opposing counsel, the mediator and the judge. I am happy to report that I was successful in my quest to obtain 50/50 shared residential custody of my children. My new order is fair, balanced and affords my children the opportunity to share equally in the love and affection of both parents. The resultant financial aspects of the new order were fair and clearly written to avoid future misinterpretations. I cannot be happier with the outcome. I never could have come this far without the strong representation by my attorneys Mark and Francine. They were there for me every step of the way. Was it expensive? Of course it was. Anyone who thinks that aggressive litigation is cheap is sadly mistaken. However, you get what you pay for. I learned that the hard way. I never could have come this far or attained this outcome by myself. Don’t make the same mistake. If you are faced with the need to hire an attorney to represent you in your divorce or custody case, you MUST do it right the first time. My only regret is not hiring Mark and Francine sooner.

Mark is a car sales man and he will tell you everything that you want to hear that they are there for you, you can call them at any time they will be there for you just so he will get your money. Also as a previous client stated he good with promises to get your money but he does not keep them. I went to him out of desperation and he asked me to pay a retainer of $5,000 , I gave him $2,500 with out him doing anything and he said I had already finished my retainer because of calls and emails when he was not even responds to those calls or emails and then hit to bomb on me that my cost of my complicated child support will run me about $50.000 so why he did not tell me at the beginning now he refused to give me any of my money. I will be calling the bar on Tuesday and asked them what I can do. He took advantage of me and since I do not know about retainer and I never read what I sign and he never explained to me.

I am extremely pleased with Francine Gallante and Marc Goldstein. After 7 years of being divorced and in a continuous battle with my ex husband, I finally feel justice has been served!! I actually wanted to cry when I was able to sit down alone and read the order. EVERYTHING of great importance was granted in my favor! Marc Goldstein was very compassionate when I spoke to him for the first time. He actually listened to my "horror story"divorce and what I had been through! He recommended I use Francine and she was amazing! Francine Gallante was on top of her game at all times! She is very sharp and caught many things that could have easily fell through the cracks, As they did with my previous attorneys! These guys are truly awesome and I am so incredibly grateful that I finally was able to see justice served for me and my children! If you have a high conflict divorce, I highly recommend them!!

I recently purchased my first home and was referred to Mark by a friend who had a good experience in the past. Being my first home purchase I did not know what to expect when it came to the legal aspect of the transaction. Mark made it so that I was always 100% aware and involved in the legal process. He provided clear and concise explanations of the contract and my legal rights as the buyer of the property. He made sure that he was readily available should I have any questions and made the home purchase as stress free as possible on his end. Mark conducted himself with the upmost professionalism and I will surely hire him again should the need arise. I highly recommend Mark Goldstein to anyone who needs an attorney.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Mark Goldstein. When I found myself needing representation during a municipal litigation, Mark Goldstein put all my worries to rest. He took the extra time to make sure that I was involved throughout the process and was always available for any questions that I had. I was always greeted with a smile and support from the minute I walked through to the office entrance. I would not have had the positive result that I did if it was not for the professionalism and advocacy from Mark Goldstein. I will be thankful for his support and am assured that if I require further legal support or representation in the future, Mark Goldstein will be my first and only call.

Mark and Francine were absolutely great. They made me feel more like family then just a client. They made sure that I was part of the process. They always took their time to make sure that I understood everything that was happening each step of the way. They made me feel comfortable. I would highly recommend them to those getting divorced.

Francine and Mark were extremely dedicated and helpful guiding me through a probate matter. I am very pleased with the level of communication and efficiency in resolving this matter within a couple of months. I would highly recommend and use them in future legal matters.

Don’t walk from Mark Golstein. Run !!!, Run !!! I used them in 2012 and their service was horrible. They do not perform as promised. They do not return phone calls. And worst of all the mistakes were numerous.The bottom line: go somewhere else!
