Client Testimonials
Punctual, Prepared, Strategic and Smart. Attorney Mitchell Polonsky, gave me as a client in need for top notch representation, complete peace of mind every step of the way in my Family Law proceeding. I needed immediate help with both a relocation notice and a complicated Parenting Plan modification, per the Court’s instruction after getting a DVPO for myself and 2 children.
I believe any case involving children including divorce is serious and demands legal representation that is ethical, professional, competent and attentive-which Mr.
Polonsky and his firm-Goldberg and Jones-are. Mr. Polonsky from the very first consultation gave me full confidence that he knew exactly how to execute his services to best serve the children and my needs which were vital for our further protection. Every Court appearance, Mr. Polonsky was early, prepared and was able to obtain ABOVE what I expected regarding the outcome.
His straight forward approach and complete professionalism was exactly what I needed. Mr. Polonsky is honest, intelligent and respectful and I only wish I had met him sooner to help me with previous Family Law needs.
Mr. Polonsky was fearless with the nature of my high-conflict case circumstance, and used strategy and intelligence to overcome all unnecessary conflict from opposing counsel in every court appearance and legal exchange. Mr. Polonsky never overcharged me and truly cares about his clients. He is patient with client questions and quick to respond to emails. I am so grateful for Mr. Polonsky and highly recommend him for any and all Family Law cases. Thank you Mitch for providing the best possible outcome for my family!

Mitchell Polonsky helped me resolve a difficult modified parenting plan with my ex husband. He was professional, always available to answer any questions I had, he heard my wants/needs and communicated them to the other party without hesitation.
He gave me advice but still respected my wishes, and took a lot of stress off of me throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Mitchell as an attorney, he definitely works for his clients to get them the best results for their family.

Let me 1st start out by saying, if you are reading reviews and having a terrible time deciding who is going to help you at one of the worst times in your life. Just stop reading and call. From start to finish, there is no doubt I would hire them back in a heartbeat.
From working with Ken, getting questions answered at no cost, when it became apparent my then-wife had hired a lawyer (even though she had pinky promised me she wouldn’t) I had called Ken and I was in a bad place I had just been served papers at my place of employment, he told me not to worry and he had someone to help me out. That is when I received an email and a follow-up phone call from my new Lawyer Mitchell Polonsky within that same day.
After asking me some basic questions about myself and the situation, he was able to put my mind at ease. My wife hired the lawyer with a reputation for blood. Mitch made it clear it didn’t matter who she had hired. He was going to do everything in his power to make things as fair as possible while minimizing the cost on myself and the exposure to my children (by making it as clean and quick as possible).
My Ex wasn’t being fair, not dropping the kids off in the location agreed on, not letting me talk to them on the phone during a critical time in their lives, and threatening to withhold them. I informed Mitch and He got to work that same day. It was night and day difference once he emailed her lawyer.
That alone was worth the money, but there was still a divorce I had to finish up. Mitch was extremely responsive when it came to emails and phone calls. My Ex-wife and I would both have the same questions for our attorneys and most of the time it would take her lawyer a week to get back.
But not Mitch, it was always the same day and typically within hours. It got to the point where I was able to give the Ex an answer before her attorney would even open her emails. (Again; that alone was worth the money).
I understand every situation is different, but with Mitch on my side, I was able to get 50/50 custody of my 2 boys, pay No spousal support, and even kept her away from my retirement. As far as divorce goes I would consider it a win. Thank you, Mitch, for everything.

I was struggling with filing my family plan and was tuned away multiple times. The one that sticks out the most is that I didn’t have the proper cover page when I tried to file 😆. That’s when I found Goldberg and Jones specifically Mitchell Polonsky he heard my case and that I wanted 50/50 custody and even though it would be hard he took it on. He made it happen! Goldberg and Jones is a firm you can trust that are friendly, knowledgeable and hard working. You feel more confident and secure with them in your corner.

I had the pleasure of working with Mitchell Polonsky to resolve a child support matter. Mitchell is very knowledgeable in his field. He is an incredible communicator and was able to explain my options and proceed in a professional manner that lead to resolution.
He works hard, he is quick to respond and is able to explain your options precisely. Family cases are difficult to work through, so it is critical to have an attorney that you can trust and communicate well with, therefore I am thankful that I was able to work with Mitchell. I highly recommend him and will refer his services to my friends and colleagues.
