Where to begin? I was an American ex-pat stuck in Doha, Qatar. When I found out that I was essentially stateless (since I didn’t have domicile), I began to lose hope. But then I found Steven. He immediately offered a creative and intelligent way to navigate my case and find a way home and, more importantly, to keep the kids stateside. By the time we were, and the real battle commenced (over jurisdiction and other messy matters), his abilities shone. In the end, his professionalism, intelligence, compassion, and meticulousness won negotiations: that, and his ability to work well with an outside expert on international law. Additional gratitude to the front staff and his assistant. They, too, were professional and warm. My girls are back on American soil, and so am I, and there is no looking back. Upwards and onwards. Thank you, Steven!

No, I haven't (yet) but when he asked me this question I felt properly understood. After consulting with 4 attorneys, and hiring and firing 2 others, I finally came upon Steven through an initial consult with Gerald Curran. Steven came to Curran Moher Weiss from NY, where I'm from, and I immediately felt a comfort level with him. My divorce was complicated by an ongoing complete mental disconnect regarding family responsibilities affecting my ex. There were no complications with assets (ex has/had none, and had gone through all of mine). Most importantly, especially when money is your biggest issue, Steven does not try to bill as many hours as possible. There were many times (which I ultimately really appreciated) where Steven essentially politely told me to shut up. When you are righteously indignant about the injustices inflicted upon you, and when you find an audience willing to listen; you can talk for hours. I could have done that with Steven, but he steered me to relevant, actionable information and steps. I was very, very grateful for this, and our working relationship has had to continue through multiple hearings well after the divorce settlement was complete. He stays on task, gets done what needs to get done in as straightforward a manner as possible, and does not waste time, or even allow you to waste time on tangents that don't lead to any beneficial outcome. I believe this is a paramount quality for any good lawyer to have, but in the case of this highly emotional type of practice, it is absolutely key. He also understands personality disorders, which sadly many lawyers in this day and age do not, so rest assured he has the appropriate amount of empathy, but won't let you wallow in grief or indignation. You can save that for your friends, Ben & Jerry, your therapist etc., and he will help you get the hard stuff done. I highly, unequivocally recommend Steven for your divorce needs.

Finding the right attorney to help me through my divorce, was one of the most important and life altering decisions of my life. After several frustrating (and expensive!!) interactions with my first divorce attorney, I quickly realized that I needed a different attorney- someone skilled who also had my best interest at heart. I found all this, and so much more than I could have hoped for with Steve Goldman and his whole team at Curran Moher and Weis. Steve represents what is in my opinion a rare combination of exceptional skill, intelligence, honesty, integrity, and compassion for his clients. His calm disposition makes all his amazing qualities shine all the more. These characteristics were evident from our first video call. Steve listened with care, and answered my questions with the honesty and clarity that I was looking for. He is a talented attorney and master communicator with high emotional intelligence, who made me feel heard and understood. He translated my needs into legal language and action while always communicating with me the reality of any given point in question. He provides sage counsel and explains options with projections and recommendations which helped me navigate difficult decision after difficult decision. Throughout the arduous divorce process, he demonstrated that he cared not only about the outcome of the case, but about my overall well-being as a person and the toll that this process can take. At every decision point, he gracefully balanced firmness and strength while representing my case without ever fueling the fires that were instigated by my ex. Steve is a master negotiator whose experience and expertise allowed us to reach a favorable settlement agreement out of court. His vast knowledge of the law, experience and negotiation skills saved me the emotional pain and additional cost of a trial. However, he was always prepared to take the case to court if that’s what it took for a fair outcome, and he let the opposing counsel know this very clearly. He is fierce towards the opposing side, while showing great empathy and sensitivity to his client. He gave me much needed reassurance and strength during the most difficult chapter of my life- navigating a divorce while being a frontline physician during a pandemic. He always showed utmost respect and sensitivity towards the difficult demands of my profession and was flexible working with my crazy work schedule. He was always accessible by email or phone and responded in a very timely fashion. Steve’s entire team has the same competence, work ethic, and integrity. His paralegal, Julia was so integral in organizing needed documents- a task which would have been daunting without her help. She and the firm’s receptionist, Michelle, were always very helpful and responsive. Their office manager, Erin, was always willing to go out of her way to help in any way she could and was an invaluable source of responsiveness, kindness and support. In short, I cannot imagine having gone through the stressful divorce process with anyone other than Steve Goldman as my steadfast attorney. Simply put, Steve Goldman is an exceptionally skilled attorney and an upstanding human being. He truly cares about his clients and represents them with fierce conviction and skill. I feel incredibly fortunate and grateful to have had him in my corner. The outcome of my divorce was desirable, and he made a most difficult process not only feel manageable but even empowering by way of his wisdom and expertise. It goes without saying that I wholeheartedly recommend seeking his counsel as your divorce attorney.

It was a pleasure working with Steve considering what we were doing. He is highly knowledgeable, always professional and continued to have my best interests in mind throughout the entire negotiation process. I feel very lucky to have found him and am very satisfied with the outcome.

Mr. Steve Goldman is an exceptional lawyer. I would hands down recommend Mr. Goldman. He handled my case and represented me in a most professional manner. Every step of the way Mr. Goldman explained all issues at hand and provided a recommendation that would best suit not only myself but my child. I always followed his recommendation which always culminated in a successful outcome. His extensive knowledge of law, wealth of experience on child custody matters, and his ability to strategize each scenario of the case always meant Mr. Goldman was several steps ahead of the opposing lawyer. Furthermore, Mr. Goldman was able to settle out of court with all of our demands agreed upon and then some! Not only did this save money but it saved the additional stress and emotional toll court would have brought. This was a testament to his legal prowess. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome. If you want someone on your side representing you Mr. Steve Goldman is who you need.

When your relationship goes to hell and you have children in the balance, you enter a Cold War. Your attorney is the person that should be able to exhaust diplomatic options with utmost professionalism and, if necessary, escalate. And win. I know seasoned diplomats with less skill. I was living in a nightmare. It took me forever to decide to consult with a lawyer and I regret delaying. Not only did Mr. Goldman lay out all my options in extreme detail, but he remained in touch with me at all times. As uncertainties and new developments appeared in my case, he was always reachable, reassuring, and supportive. Sleepless nights, terror moments, panic attacks—I’ve had it all. And there wasn’t a moment that my lawyer was not there to advise when I needed him to. He navigated everything from volatile situations to multiple contract adjustments to negotiations so fantastically that I got a good deal more than I’d initially bargained for. He walked me out of my own personal hell and into a normal life, and my child along with me. I credit him with not merely helping me with legalese, but with providing extreme empathy in sensitive situations. Steve Goldman is the kind of brilliant negotiator who knows precisely how to read the emotions in a room and how to react to them. I’d take him to a poker game. To war. At the end of the day, a divorce is worse: a personal war with the highest stakes of all. He delivers more than sharp intellect and more than empathy—the perfect balance of knowledge, ruthlessness, and dedication to your cause. My case was drawn out over months, exhausting, nerve-wracking, and, at times, absurd. Thanks to Mr. Goldman, I swam through it like a fish in water. With a big, protective shark at my side. He never lost sight of what it was we were fighting for and made sure I didn’t, either. If you are living in a nightmare like I was, I can’t recommend Steve enough. He can wrangle with the impossible and reason with the illogical. He can draw people to your side of the argument. He is an astute person who excels at his job. If you hire him, the only thing you’ll feel bad for is the person on the other side of the table.

Steven Goldman is an extremely skilled divorce attorney - he is adept at quickly assessing a difficult & emotional situation in a professional and somewhat detached fashion - yet not so detached as to cloud a professional level of compassion and the otherwise real focus of his work. His financial analysis skills are superb, his ability to see the big picture, one step at a time is outstanding. Steven can carefully present options & assist with "+'s/-'s" . His response time and communication skills are excellent. Yet, his wry sense of humor can come into play at just the right time. We had a challenging situation to deal with and Steven was polished and professional at all times: phone consults, emails, meetings and in the courtroom. His ability to research and even consider creative options revealed his depth and strength as a well-qualified domestic/family law attorney.

I hired Mr Goldman as my divorce attorney. Steve and his team helped me through a difficult child custody battle. They are super easy to communicate and they respond to you very timely manner. Steve and his team pulled out a great deal for my child custody case. I have more time with my daughter because of Steve and his team representation. Steve is very assertive and knows how to play with difficult situations. Steve really cared about my situation and provided great advice during difficult time. I highly recommend Steve as a child custody and divorce lawyer.

Steven Goldman was my counsel for the last year. Originally, I was represented by another attorney (three months), and let me tell you, I wish I would have began my case with Steven. It was not just the level of professionalism and understanding of the law and associated parameters to protect me and set me up for a brighter future, but also, his commitment to me personally - truly guiding me to my goals. I was was always impressed with and in good hands Steven and highly recommend him. He is the gold standard.

I was was always impressed with and in good hands Steven and highly recommend him. He is the gold standard.

Where to begin? I was an American ex-pat stuck in Doha, Qatar. When I found out that I was essentially stateless (since I didn’t have domicile), I began to lose hope. But then I found Steven. He immediately offered a creative and intelligent way to navigate my case and find a way home and, more importantly, to keep the kids stateside. By the time we were, and the real battle commenced (over jurisdiction and other messy matters), his abilities shone. In the end, his professionalism, intelligence, compassion, and meticulousness won negotiations: that, and his ability to work well with an outside expert on international law. Additional gratitude to the front staff and his assistant. They, too, were professional and warm. My girls are back on American soil, and so am I, and there is no looking back. Upwards and onwards. Thank you, Steven!

No, I haven't (yet) but when he asked me this question I felt properly understood. After consulting with 4 attorneys, and hiring and firing 2 others, I finally came upon Steven through an initial consult with Gerald Curran. Steven came to Curran Moher Weiss from NY, where I'm from, and I immediately felt a comfort level with him. My divorce was complicated by an ongoing complete mental disconnect regarding family responsibilities affecting my ex. There were no complications with assets (ex has/had none, and had gone through all of mine). Most importantly, especially when money is your biggest issue, Steven does not try to bill as many hours as possible. There were many times (which I ultimately really appreciated) where Steven essentially politely told me to shut up. When you are righteously indignant about the injustices inflicted upon you, and when you find an audience willing to listen; you can talk for hours. I could have done that with Steven, but he steered me to relevant, actionable information and steps. I was very, very grateful for this, and our working relationship has had to continue through multiple hearings well after the divorce settlement was complete. He stays on task, gets done what needs to get done in as straightforward a manner as possible, and does not waste time, or even allow you to waste time on tangents that don't lead to any beneficial outcome. I believe this is a paramount quality for any good lawyer to have, but in the case of this highly emotional type of practice, it is absolutely key. He also understands personality disorders, which sadly many lawyers in this day and age do not, so rest assured he has the appropriate amount of empathy, but won't let you wallow in grief or indignation. You can save that for your friends, Ben & Jerry, your therapist etc., and he will help you get the hard stuff done. I highly, unequivocally recommend Steven for your divorce needs.

Finding the right attorney to help me through my divorce, was one of the most important and life altering decisions of my life. After several frustrating (and expensive!!) interactions with my first divorce attorney, I quickly realized that I needed a different attorney- someone skilled who also had my best interest at heart. I found all this, and so much more than I could have hoped for with Steve Goldman and his whole team at Curran Moher and Weis. Steve represents what is in my opinion a rare combination of exceptional skill, intelligence, honesty, integrity, and compassion for his clients. His calm disposition makes all his amazing qualities shine all the more. These characteristics were evident from our first video call. Steve listened with care, and answered my questions with the honesty and clarity that I was looking for. He is a talented attorney and master communicator with high emotional intelligence, who made me feel heard and understood. He translated my needs into legal language and action while always communicating with me the reality of any given point in question. He provides sage counsel and explains options with projections and recommendations which helped me navigate difficult decision after difficult decision. Throughout the arduous divorce process, he demonstrated that he cared not only about the outcome of the case, but about my overall well-being as a person and the toll that this process can take. At every decision point, he gracefully balanced firmness and strength while representing my case without ever fueling the fires that were instigated by my ex. Steve is a master negotiator whose experience and expertise allowed us to reach a favorable settlement agreement out of court. His vast knowledge of the law, experience and negotiation skills saved me the emotional pain and additional cost of a trial. However, he was always prepared to take the case to court if that’s what it took for a fair outcome, and he let the opposing counsel know this very clearly. He is fierce towards the opposing side, while showing great empathy and sensitivity to his client. He gave me much needed reassurance and strength during the most difficult chapter of my life- navigating a divorce while being a frontline physician during a pandemic. He always showed utmost respect and sensitivity towards the difficult demands of my profession and was flexible working with my crazy work schedule. He was always accessible by email or phone and responded in a very timely fashion. Steve’s entire team has the same competence, work ethic, and integrity. His paralegal, Julia was so integral in organizing needed documents- a task which would have been daunting without her help. She and the firm’s receptionist, Michelle, were always very helpful and responsive. Their office manager, Erin, was always willing to go out of her way to help in any way she could and was an invaluable source of responsiveness, kindness and support. In short, I cannot imagine having gone through the stressful divorce process with anyone other than Steve Goldman as my steadfast attorney. Simply put, Steve Goldman is an exceptionally skilled attorney and an upstanding human being. He truly cares about his clients and represents them with fierce conviction and skill. I feel incredibly fortunate and grateful to have had him in my corner. The outcome of my divorce was desirable, and he made a most difficult process not only feel manageable but even empowering by way of his wisdom and expertise. It goes without saying that I wholeheartedly recommend seeking his counsel as your divorce attorney.

It was a pleasure working with Steve considering what we were doing. He is highly knowledgeable, always professional and continued to have my best interests in mind throughout the entire negotiation process. I feel very lucky to have found him and am very satisfied with the outcome.

Mr. Steve Goldman is an exceptional lawyer. I would hands down recommend Mr. Goldman. He handled my case and represented me in a most professional manner. Every step of the way Mr. Goldman explained all issues at hand and provided a recommendation that would best suit not only myself but my child. I always followed his recommendation which always culminated in a successful outcome. His extensive knowledge of law, wealth of experience on child custody matters, and his ability to strategize each scenario of the case always meant Mr. Goldman was several steps ahead of the opposing lawyer. Furthermore, Mr. Goldman was able to settle out of court with all of our demands agreed upon and then some! Not only did this save money but it saved the additional stress and emotional toll court would have brought. This was a testament to his legal prowess. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome. If you want someone on your side representing you Mr. Steve Goldman is who you need.

When your relationship goes to hell and you have children in the balance, you enter a Cold War. Your attorney is the person that should be able to exhaust diplomatic options with utmost professionalism and, if necessary, escalate. And win. I know seasoned diplomats with less skill. I was living in a nightmare. It took me forever to decide to consult with a lawyer and I regret delaying. Not only did Mr. Goldman lay out all my options in extreme detail, but he remained in touch with me at all times. As uncertainties and new developments appeared in my case, he was always reachable, reassuring, and supportive. Sleepless nights, terror moments, panic attacks—I’ve had it all. And there wasn’t a moment that my lawyer was not there to advise when I needed him to. He navigated everything from volatile situations to multiple contract adjustments to negotiations so fantastically that I got a good deal more than I’d initially bargained for. He walked me out of my own personal hell and into a normal life, and my child along with me. I credit him with not merely helping me with legalese, but with providing extreme empathy in sensitive situations. Steve Goldman is the kind of brilliant negotiator who knows precisely how to read the emotions in a room and how to react to them. I’d take him to a poker game. To war. At the end of the day, a divorce is worse: a personal war with the highest stakes of all. He delivers more than sharp intellect and more than empathy—the perfect balance of knowledge, ruthlessness, and dedication to your cause. My case was drawn out over months, exhausting, nerve-wracking, and, at times, absurd. Thanks to Mr. Goldman, I swam through it like a fish in water. With a big, protective shark at my side. He never lost sight of what it was we were fighting for and made sure I didn’t, either. If you are living in a nightmare like I was, I can’t recommend Steve enough. He can wrangle with the impossible and reason with the illogical. He can draw people to your side of the argument. He is an astute person who excels at his job. If you hire him, the only thing you’ll feel bad for is the person on the other side of the table.

Steven Goldman is an extremely skilled divorce attorney - he is adept at quickly assessing a difficult & emotional situation in a professional and somewhat detached fashion - yet not so detached as to cloud a professional level of compassion and the otherwise real focus of his work. His financial analysis skills are superb, his ability to see the big picture, one step at a time is outstanding. Steven can carefully present options & assist with "+'s/-'s" . His response time and communication skills are excellent. Yet, his wry sense of humor can come into play at just the right time. We had a challenging situation to deal with and Steven was polished and professional at all times: phone consults, emails, meetings and in the courtroom. His ability to research and even consider creative options revealed his depth and strength as a well-qualified domestic/family law attorney.

I hired Mr Goldman as my divorce attorney. Steve and his team helped me through a difficult child custody battle. They are super easy to communicate and they respond to you very timely manner. Steve and his team pulled out a great deal for my child custody case. I have more time with my daughter because of Steve and his team representation. Steve is very assertive and knows how to play with difficult situations. Steve really cared about my situation and provided great advice during difficult time. I highly recommend Steve as a child custody and divorce lawyer.
