WOW. Where do I begin? If you’re reading this It’s probably because you are looking for a bankruptcy attorney and have already called several, realizing many are about the money and business than truly wanting to help you. That’s where I was as well, Until I called Attorney Goldsmith. From the first conversation we had, he didn’t treat me like I was speaking to a car salesman, He talked to me and gave me advice like he truly cared and was in this business to actually help people move on from a tough situation. Even his fees showed he wasn’t in this for financial gain but to keep himself in business to help others. He was extremely knowledgeable, Professional, Respectful and kind Throughout my entire experience Filing for bankruptcy. By the end of the process I left the office feeling like I made a friend, rather than I was just another business transaction. With his years in the business, Knowledge, and experience I knew paperwork would be done correctly, and I could just move forward. To sum up my experience, it was extraordinary. Feel free not to take my word for it, if you take a moment to call and speak with him, you will see for yourself. If you call, and need to leave a message, Don’t get frustrated because he will call you back as soon as he can. His secretary‘s name is Mary, she is a delight to deal with as well. Why am I leaving this review? Because a person like this is hard to come by and I am still getting “ telemarketing calls” From others I tried to talk to before finding Jonathan Goldsmith. - Save yourself the trouble and just call him.
