Testimonials

I found myself facing a divorce from a difficult man who believed he was entitled to full custody of my teenage children and as much financial wealth as possible. He was impossible to reason with and I needed a lawyer who could deal with not only a strategy around the divorce but also the emotional drama that would be ongoing. Richard has many great qualities but foremost was his ability to help me to understand the process and develop an approach to moving forward. He was meticulous with all documents and filings, explained each to me in detail, he was frank, honest, patient and set my expectations appropriately. He knows the legal community well - both his opponents and the sitting judges. He understands that the approach depends on who we face.

The divorce was fair financially and most importantly I retained full custody of my children and our home. A divorce never ends on the date of judgement but many of the conditions take time to unravel and play out. Mine took over 18 months and each time I called – he immediately responded and helped me address the issue. Richard became a person I can count on to handle my legal needs and to be my friend for years to come.

I recommend Richard for anyone needing a great lawyer.

Richard helped me recently to settle all of the outstanding issues after my prolonged multi-year divorce case which involved going to court every 6 weeks. My ex was extremely spiteful, lied up till the end and did everything to try to make my life miserable.

During this prolonged struggle, Richard was there for me whenever I needed him. 24-7 He was an amazing sounding board. Helped me keep my feelings in check, told me when I needed to move on from certain arguments and when to stand my ground. He became my backbone since I was emotionally drained from all of the years of fighting and ongoing court dates. He was to me what my first attorney should have been and an excellent example of what an attorney should be.

I highly recommend Richard for any of your legal needs.

Based on a recommendation from my long time trusted family lawyer and friend, I selected Richard Goldman to represent me in my divorce. Don’t know if it’s appropriate or normal to refer to your divorce lawyer as your “hero” but when the judges gavel echoed in the courtroom 18 months after this ordeal began making my divorce final , I truly believed that Richard was my “superman”.

Richard is smart, knowledgeable, empathetic, patient, caring, diplomatic, well-connected, involved and most importantly a friend. In addition, his fees were very reasonable and I didn’t have to worry about driving downtown for frequent office visits to review and sign documents.

During an unusually bad week -deep into the divorce process -I remember calling Richard to “vent”and mentally review about what went wrong in my marriage–and what got me into this predicament. Clearly I should have been talking to my therapist but Richard took the time–over an hour–to just listen to me –throwing in a few words of support/encouragement along the way until my crisis had passed. Richard took the time out of his busy schedule to help me get “off the ledge” emotionally. After realizing we were on the phone for over an hour I became concerned about the billing charges I had just incurred. Richard said, “No. Don’t worry. I’m not going to bill you for this time. Didn’t really give you any legal advice.”

So if you’re looking for a divorce lawyer that cares about you personally and will do everything possible to negotiate a fair and equitable divorce–and exceed your expectations–then look no further since Richard is your man.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent service Richard Goldman provided me with my divorce.

Prior to contacting Richard, who was recommended to me by a friend, I interviewed a few other attorneys. They were friendly and businesslike, but also very impersonal. I was left with the feeling that they had not necessarily listened to all of my concerns.

However when I spoke to Richard I immediately felt comfortable. He listened carefully to my concerns, answered my questions thoughtfully, and gave recommendations that helped me to comfortably make important decisions. He is approachable, and always returned my calls in a timely manner.

Mr Goldman is a counselor in the true sense of the word!

In conclusion, I am very satisfied with the successful outcome of my case, the results were so much better than I had expected. I continue to consult him on a variety of legal matters.

Richard is a prime example of a professional, caring and knowledgeable attorney. I would be proud to refer him to family and friends.
