Gregory Morphew represented me through a situation that arose years after my divorce and ended in an unnecessary legal fight with my ex-wife. I wish I had done the proper research and found someone like Gregory during my actual divorce - it would have saved me so much trouble and stress over the years. What I appreciate about Gregory is that he approaches issues by cutting through all the emotions on both sides, providing guidance against realistic outcomes (seeing expectations), and also being fully in your court -- fighting for you and your interests. My advice - do not skimp on your divorce or child support representation. Getting the right counsel is an investment that will pay off over the years - in both your time, money and mental health.

Colleen Hartl was amazing on my custody / support case. I was not making any progress on my case and being taken advantage of by my ex-wife and her attorney. Colleen put an end to that and helped me to settle my case quickly with much more than I ever expected. She was always very quick to respond and very knowledgeable with my options. I can't thank her enough.-Mike R

Goldberg Jones provides excellent service, quality and value. Ms. Doyle represented me in a challenging military divorce. Her understanding and ability to communicate difficult military processes proved invaluable. Opposing counsel, exwife and paralegals failed to understand, let alone draft enforceable, fair agreements. You can trust in her counsel and know she will successfully represent you. I took comfort knowing she “had my six.” Thank you.

I have referred countless friends and acquaintances to Mitchell Polonsky and all have absolutely raved about him - down to earth, genuine, will truly fight for you and your rights, not like any other lawyer out there - just a few things I’ve been told. He is exactly who people need on their side when going through tough times and will be the voice. He is super responsive and will tell you how it is. No BS. Goldberg Jones is lucky to have him!

My time with Goldberg-Jones started just before the global pandemic, with your run of the mill vindictive, scornful woman. With it being my first venture into divorce, Goldberg-Jones was there with the guidance and information to see the process through to the end. The system does not favor men, this firm was clear from the start that they were there to protect me from the horrible damage that an unfair system can do for us. Against the advice of my counsel(Laura & Patrick) I spent over $40,000 to fight for my dog. I relayed to the firm how much this dog meant to me and going against their advice they still stood up for me, fought as hard as they could against the system. In the end, the dog was not awarded to me. Having Goldberg-Jones in my corner during this stressful time allowed me peace of mind knowing what I could expect throughout the process. I may have not gotten my dog back, but they made sure I came out as clean as I could on the other side. They say money can't buy happiness, but those who say that have never paid for a divorce. My time with Goldberg-Jones was as good as you can expect throughout a divorce. It was a good experience that I never want to have again. If you are man and reading this review, go with Goldberg.

I have been working with Rob Mar for 11 months now. Mr. Mar has been helping me with an extremely difficult divorce case. The difference with working with Rob, after being with another Law Firm and Attorney for the first 3 months of my case, is remarkable.This is my first experience with Family Law and my first divorce of a 36 year marriage, very complex and challenging. Rob has been available to me when I need him for high quality professional advice and immediate follow through to Opposing Council. I am treated incredibly well as a Person / Client / Customer as opposed to being an "interruption" or "nuisance" to his workload. Rob always has time for me.Rob has great listening skills, questioning skills and a smooth calming communication style and has help me immensely during these very difficult times.I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a great Family Law Attorney.

I had Goldberg and Jones handle my case. This was a very difficult case that took nearly 4 years to finally resolve it's self. Not due to Goldberg but due to the my ex making things difficult. Rob Mar was my lawyer great guy and always provided me with the best information and how to proceed with the case and we got the best case scenario when the case was finally settled in mediation. Price is a little high but you get what you pay for. They take care of you and try to get you the best possible outcome for a negative situation that's going on during your court case. I'm glad I fought as hard as I did and as long as I did just to be able to see my kid again. Goldberg and Jones is the best lawyers you can ask for.

My previous attorney failed my case and allowed the opposing party to reopen a divorce property division. My case took almost 4.5 year. The opposing attorney made the case very muddy and difficult. Their goal was torturing the process, wishing I would compromise and pay hundreds of thousands settlement. It was the most dark and evil time in my life.After interviewed many attorneys, I decided to hire a legit/professional attorney, Robert Bennett.Robert guided me through the processes ( discovery, deposition, more redundant discoveries, mediation, and finally the trial). He also coached me when to consider negotiating and when to ignore unreasonable asks. Robert was very sharp to find all critical evidences and opposing mistakes through the trial. At the end, he was able to show that the opposing attorney misconducted most of claims and the ex was not a sympathetic witness.I ended up paying ~4% what the opposing attorney was asking for, so every pennies were worth spent.Overall, hiring Robert is one of the best decisions in my life. He is more than an attorney to me; he is a good partner to work with and a lifesaver. With his help, I found the light of justice. I highly recommend Robert Bennett.

After representing myself (Don't do it), and achieving a decent outcome, I realized I had tunnel vision. In that I didn't pay attention to the details, which have crippled me in the long run. WA is an unfortunate state of you're a Dad.I called Goldberg Jones, and Mitchell P. has since guided me through a rollercoaster of an experience and has acted professionally, and even supportive, when needed. HE has been able to show the Courts what I have been saying the whole time. HE got them to listen and pay attention. HE got them to address the problems and start the process. I am very glad they are as good as their reputation. Things are FINALLY getting done because of Mitchell and all of the staff at Goldberg Jones. I will be eternally grateful when this is all over. These are damn good attorneys.

Nathan Gibbs was a great lawyer for my case. He understood all that was at stake & worked with me to get the best settlement I could preserving what I valued most. In particular he was on top of the next steps and kept me informed about the likely scenarios. I would not hesitate to recommend Nathan to anyone who finds themselves in the misfortune of facing divorce.

Goldberg Jones did an amazing job at helping me obtain full custody of my son.I am a single father, and Evan, the attorney that was assigned to my case was the perfect fit for my personal situation.The managing attorney has a magnificent ability to recommend the best possible attorney for the situation at hand.Evan went above and beyond in every way to address the safety, and well-being of my son.Through the drafting of my parenting plan, to the court appearances and much more, Evan demonstrated true integrity and professionalism with the highest level of quality, compassion and respect that money can buy.I cannot recommend Goldberg Jones enough, and in particular, Evan Baer.If I was able to rate higher than 5 stars I most certainly would.I was treated like person, and not just as a case.Evan did what seemed to be impossible in most people’s eyes, and permanently assured the safety and well-being of my son, in my care.Evan did not leave a single stone unturned, and I will forever be beyond grateful for the magnificent service I was provided.
