About Jason
Jason Goldman is a trial lawyer who built his practice around criminal defense work. He came to law after a liberal arts undergraduate education at the University of Georgia, where he earned a B.A. in 2012. He then completed his J.D. at Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in 2015. Those years shaped his legal foundation and introduced him to courtroom practice and criminal procedure.
After law school, Goldman moved into litigation and criminal defense. Early in his career he worked in environments that emphasized trial preparation and client advocacy. In 2019 he joined the office of Jeffrey Lichtman as an associate. That role placed him on teams handling complex defense matters and offered regular exposure to courtroom work. The experience informed his approach to case strategy and client counseling.
In 2022 Goldman opened his own practice, The Law Offices of Jason Goldman PLLC. He lists practice locations under that name and operates a criminal defense trial practice. He is admitted to practice in New York and New Jersey and appears in state courts across both jurisdictions. Over the past several years he has focused on contentious, trial-ready work rather than transactional or regulatory matters.
Goldman’s courtroom approach favors preparation and clarity. He organizes discovery, presses for early resolutions when appropriate, and prepares thoroughly for trial when cases cannot be resolved. He handles motions practice, evidentiary hearings, bench trials and jury trials. His caseload includes a range of charges commonly prosecuted in state courts.
Colleagues describe him as methodical and direct in litigation settings. In client meetings he emphasizes the options available and the likely procedural steps ahead. That plainspoken style carries through to his written work in briefs and filings, which tend to be tightly structured and focused on the core legal issues.
Outside of court appearances his practice involves the routine demands of criminal defense: negotiating pleas, managing discovery, and coordinating with investigators and experts when needed. He maintains active ties to the legal communities in both New York and New Jersey and continues to develop trial experience year by year.
He currently practices criminal defense at The Law Offices of Jason Goldman PLLC, handling trial and appellate matters in New York and New Jersey.
