Goldman Law Offices

Bill Goldman is an outstanding attorney who genuinely cares about his clients. He provided not only expert legal advice and guidance, but also the kind of emotional support that makes a real difference during challenging times. Thanks to his dedication and knowledge, he helped me achieve an outcome I never thought possible. I highly recommend Bill—he goes above and beyond, brings unmatched expertise, and truly gives his all for the people he represents.

Bill was referred to me by my attorney as the one to work with me through an accident that I had been involved in. I found him knowledgeable, responsive, and fact-based, and he was able to get me to the best outcome available given the facts. His associate Donna is also cut from the same cloth. A professional firm offering professional service.

An error was made in my case that has caused significant financial hardships. The error that was made was clerical; by entering an order with an incorrect effective date and an incorrect amount, the support ledger was thrown off significantly from the beginning. The attorney clearly had no idea how the support system works. Unfortunately, the error has only recently come to light through months of my own research to find it. I tried to go through the courts to have the error corrected but the appeal period and statue of limitations have both expired. When contacted, the firm was unwilling to do anything to right the wrong. I thought I had hired competent counsel, I thought wrong.

**Update: In response to reply

"Respectfully, allow me to correct the record.
You advised our office in writing that your spouse made direct payments to you. You agreed that the arrears should reflect payment in full. We followed your instructions. Our attorney was seasoned and extremely qualified. When the Order was signed in 2019, the same day, it was emailed to you for your review and retention. WLG"

Respectfully, allow me to correct your error once again. That is correct; I did advised on the payments that had been made directly to me. As a client who was new to the support system unlike your seasoned attorney, I did not realize exactly how the date of an order would affect the ledger; I relied on advise and the expertise of my attorney to have the knowledge to enter the order with the correct effective date. By entering the order in the middle the month, rather than dating it to take effect on the first of the next month, that created an 'overpayment' to the account when the correct monthly payment was made at the end of the current month. Let me be clear, there was no overpayment; the amount is a credit created by entering the order in the middle of the month. That credit has followed through the entire ledger and did not come to light until the change in support that was agreed upon in year 6 post divorce. As a result of the credit, support payments will remain inconsistent through the duration of the support order. Therefore, I respectfully disagree.
