I would describe Steven as a tactical strategist working in granular detail.

I’m OVERJOYED over the outcome

“I walked into Mr. Steven Goldman’s office at the lowest point in my life. My son had been arrested. I was everything BUT calm. After talking to Mr. Goldman and asking him the same questions over and over, Mr. Goldman remained very calm and patient. Although, Mr. Goldman didn’t make me any promises. Mr. Goldman told me, he would take the case and he assured me he will do his job… and that he DID! Mr. Goldman FOUGHT for my son! I’m OVERJOYED over the outcome. Mr. Goldman is a knowledgeable professional who is dedicated to his profession. Mr. Goldman has the BEST interest of his clients.

He got the case dismissed and I walked away as if nothing had happened.
    
“I am a foreign national that visits New York about 5-8 times per year to see my wife. I do not possess a NYC driver’s license and I got ticketed for two offenses which I promptly paid. When I visited NYC recently I was pulled over by the cops for using my cell phone. Upon checking my documents and my foreign drivers license the officers returned and told me my license was suspended due to none payment of assessment fees. To my surprise and horror I was handcuffed and taken to the precinct where I was held and fingerprinted for nearly six hours. I was charged with operating a vehicle without a license which was a misdemeanor and release with a DAT to appear in criminal court. I was scared and did not want to take any chances so I started searching for a criminal attorney with the required experience. After a few consultations I came across Mr. Goldman after reading some reviews. I made contact via email and I got a prompt response. After one phone conversation I told my wife that I was not worried anymore as Mr. Goldman was thorough with his explanation of my case and he said don't worry too much we can handle this. I met Mr. Goldman in person and we spoke and I hired him to represent me. The week of the court date I was informed that Mr. Goldman would not be available so he would send me someone to stand in for him, I must say I was a bit disappointed but the representative was equally professional as Mr. Goldman and he made me feel at ease. The DA offered me a reduced charge and I felt good but was informed by the attorney he had to speak to Mr. Goldman before he could accept so the matter was put off for a later date. When I spoke to Mr. Goldman he explained to me that due to my immigration status and traveling back and forth he was not ready to accept that lesser charge so I should give him some time to speak further with the DA. He kept me informed even though it was not good news. On the morning of the hearing we spoke and he said he would be late because he still wanted to speak to DAs office more. When Mr. Goldman arrived he said good news. He got the case dismissed and I walked away as if nothing had happened. I thank Mr. Goldman for going above and beyond on this case. He was more concerned about the repercussions I could face further on. This for me is exceptional and shows a firm that cares about the client fully. Thank you sir and may God continue to bless you as you do the best you can. I recommend Goldman & Associates a 110%.”

Hiring him as my legal counsel was the best decision I ever made during this ordeal.
    
“I'm an active duty military member with 19 years in the Service. Just before the end of last year, I was arrested at JFK airport while trying to check-in a firearm and three empty magazines on my way back to Indiana. Even though I have a Gun Permit from out of state, not having one issued by NYC constitutes a criminal charge where I'm faced with a possible jail term of 3.5 to 7 years. In what seems like a blink of an eye, I was facing a felony conviction, a bleak future in my Naval career and retirement benefits I worked so hard for are in jeopardy. Not to mention my uncertain / limited prospects in the civilian sector as a felon. I was desparate and beyond myself after my initial arraignment, considering I just spent well over 12 hours in jail. After a quick internet seach, I came across Steven H. Goldman. Just after the first meeting, my wife and I were immediately put at ease. Members of his legal support team including David are very professional and top-notch. His confident, calm and reassuring demeanor gave us the peace of mind we desperately needed. Steve and his team worked diligently with the DA on my behalf and gave me regular updates. In less than three weeks, his efforts yielded excellent results. The DA offered ACD (Adjudication in Contemplation of Dismissal) for my case. This typically involves a 6-month waiting period before the case is closed/sealed. When the time came for my Desk Appearance, the DA offered ACD where it will be closed/sealed after 1 DAY. I couldn't ask for a better result. Now, we're getting ready to put this nightmare behind us, I'll be able to complete my military service honorably, and live the rest of our lives in peace. If you find yourself or anybody you love in a desperate legal bind, STEVEN H. GOLDMAN is THAT LAWYER to have in your corner. Without question, he will fight tooth and nail to preserve your rights and future, he's the BEST criminal DEFENSE attorney in town. Hiring him as my legal counsel was the best decision I ever made during this ordeal and I will remain eternally grateful to him and his team. THANK YOU Steve Goldman!!”

It took a while, but he got the case totally dismissed.

“I’m one of the best bike messengers in all of New York City. I know how to ride through traffic and around pedestrians like nobody’s business. If you want to get some important document from point A to point B in world record time, I’m your man. One day when I was working last September I stopped to get some water near Central Park South. Bike messenger drink a LOT of water. While standing next to my bike drinking, some crazy homeless guy came up to me and started to beat me with a big stick for no reason. I’m like, What the hell? I backed away but he kept coming. The guy who sold me the water was nearby with his cart. I ran to the other side of the cart so the crazy guy with the stick couldn’t get to me. He kept coming at me anyway, though, swinging the stick and trying to hit me. I grabbed a knife that was on top of the cart and held it up, telling the crazy guy to keep away from me, but he kept coming anyway. Next thing I know the crazy guy was stabbed and everyone was screaming. I hired Steven Goldman because people told me he was as good at lawyering as I am at being a bike messenger. The DA charged me with felony assault, which honestly scared the crap out of me. Mr. Goldman kept me calm though. He said I had a good self-defense case and he would explain that to the DA and the judge. I admit I had my doubts. It took a while, but he got the case totally dismissed. Today this nightmare is behind me and I’m doing my thing on my bike again. Thank you Mr. Goldman, you really are the best!”

He is a very prepared and honest lawyer and dedicated to his work. I really recommend him, every dollar i spend was worth it.

“Very grateful to Mr. Steven Goldman. I was arrested for DWI. I was worried that if I was convicted of driving drunk and intoxicated that would leave a criminal record and lose my work permit (DACA) without being able to renew it. I decided to hire Mr. Goldman's services and asked him to help me reduce the DWI charge to driving while ability impaired. The day of the court Sr. Goldman gave me great news, he talked to the prosecutor and convinced him to only I accused me of a traffic violation. I have no criminal record thanks to him. He is a very prepared and honest lawyer and dedicated to his work. I really recommend him, every dollar i spend was worth it. THANKS MR. STEVEN GOLDMAN.”

Highly Recommend this Firm

“Back in October, this establishment helped my friend who got caught in a legal dilemma. They didn't make any promises but appeared to genuinely care about his cause beyond the fee. I recommend this firm.”

Thank you Mr. Goldman. I honestly don’t know where I’d be now if it weren’t for you.

“One day in November 2018, I was arrested and charged with conspiracy to make illegal cigarette tax stamps. At my arraignment the judge set $200,000 bail and I was sent to jail. I thought my life was over. I’m a 62-year-old man who’s never been arrested before, and suddenly I found myself in jail with all these tough young guys. I honestly didn’t think I’d make it out alive. I hired Steven Goldman at Goldman & Associates. Three days later he got the bail reduced and I was able to pay it. I still wasn’t in the clear, though, because I had a serious felony hanging over my head. Over the next several months Mr. Goldman patiently explained to me what was going on with my case and what our best strategy for success was. He ultimately persuaded the DA to offer me a plea that didn’t involve any jail. Now that I knew they weren’t going to take me from my family and put me into some prison hellhole, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thank you Mr. Goldman. I honestly don’t know where I’d be now if it weren’t for you.”

I hope I never get another ticket, but if I do, Goldman and associates will be the place I go to.

“The lawyers from the office of Goldman and associates were very knowledgeable and helpful with my concerns and problems. The professionalism and care they have shown me was more than I could ask for. This was my first time needing a lawyer for my tickets, and they were very attentive and guided me through the process. I hope I never get another ticket, but if I do, Goldman and associates will be the place I go to. I highly recommend their service.”

Thank you Goldman and Associates. You gave me back my life!

“I’m a single mother of a bright, high energy 7 year old son in the Bronx. Two years ago my life got turned upside down when my friend and I got attacked on the street by a large group of people. One of them had a beef with my friend and it got physical fast. The police were called and they found a gun underneath a parked car nearby. I wanted to help so I cooperated with them. Next thing I knew I was in custody and charged with possession of a gun. I found out fast that the Bronx DA’s office doesn’t play when it comes to gun cases. They were pushing me to take 3 ½ years in prison, saying the plea would never get better than that! I never got arrested before and suddenly they wanted me to do 3 ½ years. I was frantic at the possibility of being separated from my son. Who could take care of him as well as I could? My court appointed lawyer was nice, but she didn’t have any solutions. She just kept talking about me pleading guilty. That’s when my family reached out to Goldman and Associates. Steve and Peter spent a lot answering our questions and discussing our options. They laid out the evidence the prosecution would use against me – the video of the incident, my statement, DNA and fingerprints. The evidence seemed overwhelming. I was so scared, but they assured me that they would do whatever they could to get the best possible result. We discussed it as a family and decided to trust them. And I’m very glad we did! Over the next year, Goldman and Associates were there for us – filing motions, arguing in court, meeting with us and answering all our questions. After they started fighting for us, the DA’s offer got better, a lot better. Now they were only asking for one year of jail instead of 3. I almost took it too. I figured I could handle a year, but they told me they might be able to do even better, and asked me to trust them again. They had gotten me this far, so I agreed. Once again, my trust in them paid off. Last week, we got the decision from the judge – the prosecution had violated my rights, and all the charges were dismissed. No jail time, no conviction, nothing. I was free! I am so grateful that they fought for me and got me a second chance. I don’t have to be afraid of going to jail or having to explain to an employer a conviction on my record. I can raise my child without having to worry about us being separated by the system. Thank you Goldman and Associates. You gave me back my life!”

Outstanding Work

“Working with Peter Barta Associate at the Law Offices of Steven Goldman was a great experience. His expertise in organizing and presenting my documentation clearly and effectively to the Judge led to a quick Dismissal of my case. I highly recommend the Law Offices of Steven Goldman and especially Mr. Peter Barta Associate.”

If you’re looking for criminal attorneys to handle your case..look no further!

“If you’re looking for criminal attorneys to handle your case..look no further! That may sound cliche....but it’s a FACT! I used Steve and Peter....and please believe...they don’t disappoint! They are very patient, knowledgeable, understanding, professional, reasonable.....just overall nice guys! They held my hand throughout my entire court process and clearly explained my options pre trial, during trial and post trial. In court, I recognized early on, that Steve and Peter have great rapport with the DA’s office and prosecutors...ultimately ensuring that my case would be heard and the outcome would be fair. They will go the extra mile in assisting you with all aspects of your case. They have offices in Manhattan and the Bronx. Their receptionist, Lady, is very nice, informative and accommodating. Give them a call....you won’t regret it!”

Mr. Goldman immediately put my mind at ease!

“I wasn’t planning to hire a criminal defense lawyer, but then I’m guessing most people don’t plan on it. Something unexpected happens in your life and suddenly you need a criminal defense lawyer. Anyway, that’s how it happened for me. I had a good job in the food service industry. One day my ex-girlfriend showed-up unexpectedly and started to fight with me. I defended myself. She called the police, and since I’m a man, I was the one that got arrested. Suddenly I found myself in jail. Worse, the DA was asking for 60 days jail! I needed a good lawyer – fast! I hired Goldman & Associates. I explained to him that I’d lose my job if I had to do any jail time. After discussing everything, Mr. Goldman told me the best strategy to avoid going to jail. He also told me about all the experience he had dealing with cases like mine. Between his calming manner and years of experience, My Goldman immediately put my mind at ease. True to his word, I avoided doing any jail time. Because I didn’t have to do any jail time, I also avoided losing my job. I owe Mr. Goldman a LOT. He’s a lawyer who will put your mind at ease and who gets results. I highly recommend Goldman & Associates to anyone who needs a criminal defense lawyer and has too much on the line to settle for second best.”

Just by merely looking at the facts Steven was able to get a victory and secure my future.

“Where do I start? I am a NYC police officer who was accused of of 18 domestic violence charges. I have served my country in the Marine Corps and Now in the Air Force Reserves. I had my son taken away and he was given an order of protection. My gun and shield also taken. No one believed me. I was told I was going to get fired that these are serious accusations. When you get hit with charges like that no one wants to be next to you or defend you. Steven listened and he believed me. He fought hard. He found the errors and the lies that the DA tried to cover up or disregarded in order to bolster his case. The DA kept offering plea deals, Steven told him no we are taking this to trial. The bronx jury also agreed that the story didn't make sense. NYC doesn't like cops neither does the Bronx DA. Two years of pain and suffering. Steven did not give up I was found not guilty of 18 domestic violence charges. I will probably be forced to retire but I do not have a felony. I am also getting visits with my son. Two years ago i was threatened with prison and being hit with countless orders of protection. Things are slowly returning to normal . I wouldn't be here typing this if it weren't for Steven Goldman. If they are lying, sneaky and malicious Steven Goldman is the man to expose them. Just by merely looking at the facts Steven was able to get a victory and secure my future.”

Mr. Steven Goldman is an extremely competent attorney.

“Mr. Steven Goldman is an extremely competent attorney who helped by young adult daughter with her felony charge. He worked effectively with the DA's and my daughter. She did community service and was able to have her charge reduced to a misdemeanor. This reduction has major positive consequences for her life. Mr. Goldman's interpersonal savvy combined with his legal expertise enabled this positive outcome. I am so grateful to him and would recommend him, without reservation to anybody needing legal assistance.”

This man is like a Pitbull

“This man is like a Pitbull. He will viciously fight for you no exceptions. Once he locks on he will not let go until he delivers. If you are looking for an attorney that will put their whole weight in the balance, someone that truly cares about delivering the best outcome, Mr. Peter is it. He is now officially my family Lawyer. I can rest easy knowing that he will relentlessly fight for us.”

I am so happy my family found Goldman & Associates Law firm

“Thank you so much Mr. Goldman for your excellence in the court room. I am so happy my family found Goldman & Associates Law firm. Steven is an amazing attorney! Easy to talk to and he gets the best outcome possible for his clients if feasible. I also referred someone else to him and they were satisfied, from just one phone call with Steven. We're so satisfied with their service. Will use again if ever needed in the future.”

If it were not for Steven Goldman, I am sure I would have been in handcuffs by now.

“Steven Goldman has saved me from a situation which could have been very dangerous to my career, and my life as a whole. I was going to be wrongly implicated in a rape case which would have messed up my whole life. I first contacted Steven on a Sunday night at around 11:00 PM, after I was contacted by an NYPD Detective. Steven was very prompt in his response even that late in the night. We set up an appointment immediately for the next day, Monday afternoon. I went to see him at his Columbus Circle office in Manhattan and explained everything as it happened. He listened to it very patiently, diligently noting down all the details. Then he spoke to both my accuser and the detective, and de-escalated the matter quickly. If it were not for Steven Goldman, I am sure I would have been in handcuffs by now.”


All I Know Is That They Got My Case Dismissed.

“When my mom hired Goldman and Associates I was 25, and they were charging me with threatening someone with a gun. They told me I could get 15 years in prison if I was convicted. Before I was arrested on this case, I’d never spent a day in jail. When they told me if I wanted to plead guilty they’d only give me 3 ½ years in prison I thought, are you kidding me? I’m not looking to spend another 3 ½ hours in jail! My head was spinning, and I couldn’t think straight. My case kept going for 2 years. I had to come to court every month for that whole time. If they’d offered me probation, I’d have taken it in no time. But my lawyers at Goldman and Associates kept telling me they had a plan. I had my doubts, but I went with their plan. Finally, after 2 years, they got my case completely dismissed. They told me my Speedy Trial rights were violated. I didn’t even know what Speedy Trial was, and really, I didn’t care. All I know is that they got my case dismissed. I didn’t have to spend even one more hour in jail. Thank you, Goldman and Associates! Without you, I’d be rotting in a jail cell somewhere! Instead, I have my freedom and a clean record.”

Thanks to Mr. Goldman, I got my life back.

“In May of 2014, I thought my life as I knew it was coming to an end. It was then that I was arrested and charged with sexually abusing and robbing a woman I had never even met. People asked why she would lie. I myself, didn't know why she would lie. I only knew that she was lying - that I was innocent of the charge. In the end, the case against me was dropped and the charges were sealed. Thanks to Mr. Goldman, I got my life back. The nightmare is behind me. I can't recommend him highly enough.”

My Attorney is Family

“I remember when I met attorney Steven Goldman in the Bronx. I was just leaving the criminal courthouse just steps from his office. I had just had a hearing on my false arrest case and as I walked down the street I prayed to God for direction, guidance, and help. I looked up and saw Mr. Goldman's' sign above his building which stated he handles false arrest cases. I thanked God and walked right in the office. I was scared, nervous, and confused until I met Mr. Goldman and my fears were calmed. He was personable, transparent, tactful, and helpful. Our case went thru a multitude of changes that I would never imagine because I had never been gone through the judicial system, but Mr. Goldman was on top of it all the way. He always informed me of every change, motion, document and research done. He and his team worked diligently and tirelessly on my case. In fact, when the judge wrongly dismissed my case, Mr. Goldman appealed the dismissal to the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals and won! Over the past nearly 4 years I have learned a great deal about the drive, tenacity and strength of Mr. Goldman, both as an attorney and as a human being. He is a believer in truth and justice and he truly fights for his clients. I have come to know Mr. Goldman's sincere heart and humility. He gives himself completely to his client's cases, sacrificing his family, his finances, his time and even his sleep. I love Steven Goldman and I am truly grateful to God for leading me to his office. He is a part of my history and my family. I pray for his success so he help other people the way he was able to help me.”


Steve and his associate, Peter Barta, worked hard to make sure that I didn’t have to plead guilty to a crime.

“My girlfriend said I pointed a knife at her and threatened to kill her. It wasn’t true, but that’s what she told the police, so I got arrested anyway. I’d never been arrested before and definitely didn’t want to have my clean record ruined. I also didn’t want to go to jail. So I hired Goldman & Associates. Steve and his associate, Peter Barta, worked hard to make sure that I didn’t have to plead guilty to a crime. They arranged it so that if I did a drug program I wouldn’t get a criminal record. Then right at the end when the judge wanted to change the deal and make me to do a second drug program, they got the judge to agree that the one program was enough. Because of them I don’t have a criminal record and the case is behind me. I owe Steve and Peter at Goldman & Associates big time!”

Even a lawyer needs a lawyer sometimes and my choice is Steven Goldman.

“No matter what your job is or level of education, you sometimes are confronted with serious issues that require legal help. Steven Goldman was there when I needed legal representation in a criminal matter. Steve helped me understand the legal process and how I should expect the matter to proceed. His expert legal advice and work resulted in the charges against me being dropped. I strongly recommend Steven Goldman and will be referring friends, family and clients to him should the need arise.”

If you find yourself in trouble like I did, call Goldman & Associates. You won’t be sorry.

“I was on parole when I caught a case. My PO claimed that he saw me on video firing a gun and they charged me with a felony. When the police came to arrest me, they roughed me up for no reason. They even beat up my family! When I fought back, they charged me with another felony. Next thing I know, I’m in court charged with gun possession AND assault and the DA is asking for $100,000 bail. Thankfully, my family had hired Goldman and Associates and they were there in court to represent me. Peter Barta argued hard against that bail! He told the judge about all the holes in the DA’s case and said the police need to explain why they attacked me. Suddenly the DA’s office was on the defensive. Instead of $100K, the court set only $5K, an amount my family could make. Goldman and Associates fought for me every step of the way! When the DA’s office indicted me without giving me a chance to testify in front of the grand jury, they got the indictment dismissed! When the DA was talking about hitting me with a life sentence, Goldman and Associates pushed for a better offer. But even when they got that offer, they didn’t stop fighting. They told me that they had a chance to get the case totally dismissed, but I’d have to take a risk - turn down the offer and let them keep fighting. By this point, I knew they were fighters and that they had my best interests at heart, so after talking it over with my wife we agreed to roll the dice. I turned down the offer and gave them the green light to try for a dismissal.
After more than a year of fighting it out in court, I stood next to my lawyer when the judge said the magic words: the defendant’s motion to dismiss is granted! Then I heard the prosecutor, the same man who had threatened me with a life sentence, say, “we’re not going to appeal.” It was over – I was free to go. No charges, no jail time. A complete dismissal! I really hope I never get into that situation again, but I know who I’m calling if I do. I can tell you from experience how hard they fight, and the great results they get. If you find yourself in trouble like I did, call Goldman & Associates. You won’t be sorry.”

Excellent work by an excellent team!

“This law firm listens to your concerns and does there very best to get you the results you request. They exceeded all of my expectations with excellence and professionalism. Even after the case, the follow up was on point. Thank you Peter Barta!”

We were so ecstatic with the outcome.

“We want to thank Mr. Steven Goldman and his team for the work they have done on my father’s case. He explained the possible outcomes of the case and what he would do in order to get the best outcome. He walked us through the process and made it easy for everyone to understand. During the court appearance through zoom, an interpreter was arranged for my father. We were not expecting that, and we were pleasantly surprised. It allowed my father to understand exactly what was being said during the court session. The case was settled quickly, and it was dismissed. We were so ecstatic with the outcome. We would highly recommend Mr. Goldman’s services.”

I would HIGHLY recommend him and his staff for any criminal case.

“I was arrested for my 3rd DWI within 10 years, and hired Steven Goldman to represent me. The DA wanted no less than a year in jail. Steve spoke with the DA and the DA Supervisor on several occasions, and they wouldn’t budge. Over a years’ time, Steve was able to negotiate from 1 year at Rikers Island to a 3 month intermittent sentence which was 12 consecutive weekends from Saturday at 9 am to Sunday at 5 pm. A very small sacrifice for having my life during the week. Thanks to Steve’s negotiations and tenacity, I was able to keep my job of 19 years without anyone knowing my business. I have only 3 more weekends to go and I’m very thankful for all the hours, compassion and expertise that Steve has shown. I would HIGHLY recommend him and his staff for any criminal case.”

Thanks to Mr. Goldman, my son can hold his head up high.

“My son was only 17 years old with his whole life ahead of him facing a felony charge. That means he would have to surmount the difficulty of finding a job, dealing with depression, and a lifetime hiding from himself because of the shame and stigma that goes with a felony charge against you. I had an attorney but she didn’t see how important my son’s life meant to him and to our family. I fired her.

I researched the internet and I came across Mr. Goldman’s profile. I read about him and immediately my gut feeling told me to send him a message, and I did. Mr. Goldman called me, we talked, and then I hired him. He got my son 3 years probation. After the first year, the felony charges were dropped. My son received a youthful offender charge and only had to remain on probation for two more years. My son no longer feels embarrassed, and his depression is gone. He is looking towards the future. Thanks to Mr. Goldman, my son can hold his head up high and not state on any job application that he has a felony charge.”

You should absolutely hire Mr. Goldman if you are in a bind.

“I was convinced that I was going to go to jail or get a felony for selling drugs to an undercover cop. Mr. Goldman managed to negotiate it down to a misdemeanor. I don't know what I would have done without him. He was extraordinarily competent and professional but also really nice and relatable. I know he actually truly cared about helping me. He went out of his way to use every resource he had and made sure I didn't ruin my life over such a dumb decision. Basically, the way that I sold the controlled substances to the undercover was extremely sketchy and most people told me that there was no way around a felony. Mr. Goldman was very honest with me throughout the process. In order to avoid jail time or a felony, I thought I might have to enter an intensive year-long drug rehab program. I cried every day thinking about that reality. It would have required many hours a day, every day, in rehab for a year with addicts when I'm not one at all. I didn't know how I would have time for work, how to tell my loved ones, how taxing it would be for my soul. Mr. Goldman managed to work out a deal with the DA by working some magic only a grade A lawyer could achieve. I ended up just getting a misdemeanor and having to do community service. I owe him everything and am enormously grateful. You should absolutely hire Mr. Goldman if you are in a bind. I really think that if I had hired another lawyer, I wouldn't have been so lucky. He knows what he is doing and is an exceptional lawyer!”
