Client Reviews
"Sam is a great communicator and writes crystal clear legal prose. He created a great agreement from my requirements very quickly."
"Amazing to work with!"
"I really appreciate Sam’s thorough approach. He didn’t just file my business application with the state. Sam knew that I would also need to setup an EIN and bank account along with operational documentation. That’s going above and beyond a simple request, and I’m glad to have chosen Sam for his expertise. He’s given me peace of mind in starting a new venture."
"Sam is very knowledgeable, quick to respond, and takes the time to understand the all fully while educating you on the topics being discussed so you completely understand his recommendations. He went on to send me additional reading focused specifically on areas I wasn't as familiar with, so I feel much more informed on areas of employment contracts after working with Sam. He also helped make sure my objectives for engaging him in contact reviews were met fully. I would not hesitate to work with with him again."
"I hired Sam to review and revise an existing partnership operating agreement for me. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable in this area, and he provided expert guidance and assistance in identifying the parts that needed updating and providing concrete suggestions for them. He was responsive and efficient. I will definitely use Sam again for my business structure needs. I highly recommend him!"
"Atty Goldstein was an excellent choice! I felt confident with him after our first discussion. He helped me make it completely through a contract negotiation for a new job opportunity. But he also listened. The communication was open to and from him. And he was front and center for me when we worked with the prospective employer on the contract. I would pick him again if I need similar representation."
