About
My practice concentrates in real estate litigation, residential and commercial transactions (representing buyers and sellers) and professional negligence defense (representing brokers, appraisers, accountants, attorneys and other licensed professionals). I am general counsel to the Pennsylvania Association of REALTORS, the Greater Harrisburg Association of REALTORS and formerly general counsel for the State Association of Boroughs (now represented by my partner Stanley Laskowski). Litigation experience includes over 55 cases tried before a jury and hundreds resolved in bench trials (no jury), arbitration, mediation and other alternative dispute resolutions forums. I am frequently asked to serve as an expert witness on matters relating to the standard of care owed by real estate licensees and am a frequent lecturer for the Pennsylvania Bar Institute and Pennsylvania REALTORS Institute, the continuing educations arms of the Pennsylvania Bar and Pennsylvania REALTOR Associations. Attorneys frequently engage my services as a mediator and arbitrator in a variety of legal settings. I am an adjunct professor at the Widener University School of Law where I teach Real Estate Transactions. I also serve as a member of the Pennsylvania Joint State Government Task Force.

Jim Goldsmith is one of the smartest and knowledgeable attorneys I have ever worked with, particularly in the field of real estate and real estate transactions. He assisted me with issues that arose over employment, real estate law, ethics and a variety of risk reduction measures in my real estate office. Knowing that the best lawsuit is the one that is avoided he worked with me to create ‘best practices’ and policies that protected my agents and my business. When you need him to defend a lawsuit he is strategic and unwavering in his defense. Now I work for the REALTOR trade association and he continues to be a trusted advisor as well as reviewing contracts and assisting in educational programs delivered throughout the state on our behalf.
