When looking for a lawyer I was referred by a current one I was using for a different case to Carolyn. She's been amazing from the start and really cares about the outcome of what's needed while also being fair to the situation, weighing in different options. Her expertise on the law is phenomenal and can always count on her on any questions I have. I'd highly recommend her or any of the team members at Goldberg Jones to help out. It's been a pleasure working with them.
I worked with Attorney Loveless, albeit briefly. She was attentive, kind and clearly presented my options. As more issues inevitably arise she will be my first call. Thank you!
I have a difficult ex-husband, which is why I went to Goldberg Jones. If they could handle divorce for men, then I wanted that kind of strength for myself. I first used Mr. Coleman when my ex-husband "misfiled" his pension so I couldn't access the amount the Navy ordered. Mr. Coleman got back every cent for me and had my ex-husband reimburse legal fees.
Then, when my ex-husband wasn't paying child support at the appropriate amount (which Mr. Coleman informed me I hadn't been receiving for over 2 years), Ms. Couture went to bat for me. She obtained the calculated amount for my boys — and collected 5 months in arrears as well as my legal fees.
Ms Couture handled my ex-husband's antics with dignity and patience without doing anything unethical. He lied to her, wasted her time, and tried last-minute tricks with his counsel that didn't work with Ms Couture.
Additionally, while I trusted her to handle everything, Ms Couture listened to me and protected me. If you have a difficult ex-spouse or current spouse you will be in great hands with Ms Couture. I was so impressed with her knowledge of the law, her ethics, and her ability to calmly handle a difficult man who tried to overpower her but ultimately lost.
Wow, thank you so much for the wonderful review, Pamela. We're sorry you had to deal with such a difficult opposing party, but we're so happy Svetlana Couture and Phil Coleman were able to earn your trust and protect you and your best interests. We pride ourselves on carefully caretaking our clients and going above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome!

Richard, there is a valid Support Order in place from your case. The State involvement is solely to collect on the valid Support Order. Any attempted “fight” against the State would come at a cost with no likely relief on your end.

Working with Alexandria Loveless brought a sense of peace amongst chaos as she diligently worked for favorable results after years of being a self represented litigant. Alexandria is more than just a lawyer, she is some who is genuine and who cares about what is fair. Fathers are often left feeling defeated when leaving a court proceeding but Alex does an excellent job communicating and setting clear expectations. Hands down the most life changing decision and experience I’ve had working with Alex!

It would take volumes to adequately explain the dire and complex situation I was in at the time I approached Goldberg Jones. My case had been previously mishandled by another lawyer who was largely absent and who had essentially thrown their hands in the air, ready to feed me to the wolves.
In the 11th hour, I followed my gut and switched to Goldberg Jones. Zephyr Jones immediately responded and assigned me to Svetlana Couture, who stepped in seamlessly and represented me with zeal, compassion, and an unassailable level of professionalism rarely found in people today. She maintained frequent and relevant communication with me, expertly advised me through the dizzying labyrinth of my case, provided stalwart moral support, and brokered an agreement.
The support staff were always warm, accommodating, and responsive.
Rates may seem on the high end at first. However, I assure you, the value for money they provide well-exceeds what they charge. I wish I had approached them sooner. Additionally, they are extremely gracious about payment schedules and will negotiate. They did everything they could to ensure I could continue with them.
Thank you.

I had the pleasure and honor of working with Ms. Cristina Nuño, and I cannot recommend her enough. She supported me every step of the way throughout my custody case. I am active-duty military and stationed in Missouri, and despite the distance and time difference, Ms. Nuño was always available, responsive, and supportive.
There were moments when the process felt overwhelming and I considered giving up, but she encouraged me to keep going and helped me stay focused. She is knowledgeable, professional, respectful, and refreshingly honest. Her guidance and dedication made a huge difference, and I truly believe I would not have made it through the custody battle without her.
If you are looking for someone who genuinely cares and will fight for you, I highly recommend Ms. Cristina Nuño.

Isaac, we appreciate the kind review. Custody disputes are harrowing in the best of circumstances, but such a great distance on makes things more difficult. We’re beyond happy that Cristina and the firm were able to offer a steady hand to help with your case. Thank you for your trust in us and for your service to this country.

I have been working with my Goldberg Jones divorce attorney, Ms. Couture, for seven months now, and I couldn't be more grateful for the support and professionalism I received throughout the process. Especially since my hopefully soon-to-be-ex-wife has been bound and determined to make this as difficult as possible. Men know your rights and what Domestic Violence really is all about! Not all violence is physical and leaves visible marks or scars. STOP SUFFERING IN SILENCE! GET THE SUPPORT YOU DESERVE! From our very first consultation, MS. Couture put me at ease and explained everything in clear, enlightening terms. Navigating a divorce can be overwhelming, but my attorney was always responsive to my questions and concerns, returning calls and emails promptly.
What impressed me most was her attention to detail and genuine care for my situation. She advocated for my interests, made sure I understood all my options at every step, and kept the process moving along as best as possible considering the intransigence of my spouse. Her knowledge of family law and local court procedures helped me feel confident during a stressful time.
The office staff was also friendly and organized, making scheduling and paperwork hassle-free. Overall, I would highly recommend Ms. Couture from the Goldberg Jones firm to any man who even suspects he has been the victim of domestic violence facing a similar situation. They made a difficult experience much more manageable, and I truly appreciate their dedication and expertise.
Thank you for helping me through the most challenging chapter in my life!

I contacted Goldberg Jones through their website's inquiry form. I received an email, likely automated, acknowledging my inquiry. The next day, Zephyr Hill, "Managing Attorney" at Goldberg Jones phoned me. I let him know I'd like to meet before the end of the month (14 business days remaining in the month) and he assured me they'd get me on the calendar.
Today a staff member (receptionist?) called me to CONFIRM a meeting for tomorrow, but no one had contacted me to schedule the referenced meeting, so I balked at confirming. The staff member could not comprehend any account of this reality and kept responding that I was on the calendar.
I'm sure it was a waste of time to ask her if this is how the firm normally did business, but I couldn't help myself. Predictably, she didn't know anything about that. I asked to speak with Zephyr Hill, and after a brief hold, she let me know I'd be placed back on hold until he became available. At that moment,t I realized I didn't want to do business with a firm that was so careless with a potential client, much less as an actual client with the sunk cost of a retainer.
I informed the staffer that since they had my number, Zephyr Hill, "Managing Attorney" at Goldberg Jones, could call me. In the time it's taken me to write this, there has been no call. I'd like to keep an open mind - perhaps Zephyr is researching where they went wrong, but I suspect it's a case of easy-come, easy-go for Goldberg Jones.
* UPDATE: After 25 min Zephyr Hill, "Managing Attorney" at Goldberg Jones emailed to reste their fee schedule and offer the lamest of excuses: "Sorry for any confusion. We thought we had already scheduled you for an initial meeting tomorrow to prepare for your pending [redacted]"
To quote Maya Angelou, "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time,"
I try to live by this advice, because it's proven true over and over. Trust people's actions over their words - accept someone's true character when it is revealed through their behavior, rather than making excuses for it or expecting them to change.
I shared this (excluding the *Update) with Zephyr Hill, "Managing Attorney" at Goldberg Jones and received no reply.

Adam, we’re sorry to hear about the confusion surrounding your scheduling experience. Our goal is always to make the process of setting up an initial consultation clear and efficient. It appears there was a simple miscommunication between you and our team regarding the timing of your consultation. We did attempt to reach you promptly to confirm an appointment based on the information we had, and we regret that this led to any frustration. We don’t appreciate the tone you took with our receptionist, who was nothing but patient with you, but we wish you the best of luck finding representation for your case.

Michael S. Steiner was appointed as my attorney and throughout my case he communicated effectively and responded in a timely manner. His approach to my case (move away request and I was the respondent/defendant) was well thought-out and when it came time to my court hearing he was professional, direct, and made it such an easy process. Safe to say that if you get Mr. Steiner you'll be in good hands.

Michael Steiner represented me in the adjustment of a previous divorce hearing settlement. Mike listened to my case, my concerns, and what I was looking for in the desired outcome. He is easy to talk with, listens to you, and provides sound counsel, advice, and expectations. His approach was one of solid understanding of the legal system and previous experiences with cases like mine. He helped me maintain a positive outlook, resolved all my concerns, and the outcome exceeded my expectations by far. The saying “You get what you pay for” is 100% applicable to Mike and the expert legal service he provides.

I do not recommend going to Phil Coleman as your family law attorney. I spent thousands of dollars on him and at the end, my ex wife got everything. I have another friend that coincidentally went with him as well and also spent thousands of dollars on fees and his ex wife received everything. He screws military people when they are not available to defend themselves in person due to serving their country. He just does what is convenient for him. Please go else where if you are military and also if you want what's best for your kids.

We take great pride in advocating for all of our clients—military and civilian alike—with the same level of dedication, integrity, and determination. We can’t get into the details here, but the only case in our records that matches what you’ve said here is from more than eight years ago and ended in an agreed-upon settlement. If you have specific concerns about the representation you received, we encourage you to reach out to our office directly. We’re happy to review your case and address any questions or issues you may have.

Zephyr Hill was of great service he was very honest respectful of Time precise into the point. I'll definitely recommend him you're in good hands for sure. I was getting help with divorce and child support and he stared me in the right direction very beneficial to me.
Phil Coleman did an excellent job efficiently drafting documentation and framing my request for Spousal Support termination. The termination was successfully agreed to by both sides. Thanks Phil! And many thanks to Goldberg Jones.
