About Michael W.
Michael W. Goldstein has practiced law in New York for decades. He earned his J.D. from Brooklyn Law School in 1975 and took coursework in business law during his studies. That foundation in business law has shaped much of his subsequent practice.
After graduating, Goldstein spent years working in private practice. In 1985 he opened the Law Offices of Michael W. Goldstein. He built a general civil practice that handled both transactional work and courtroom matters. Over time the office became a place where property disputes, estate administrations and accident claims were handled under one roof.
Goldstein's practice areas include business and real estate matters, mechanic's liens, estate matters and accident cases. He has handled commercial and residential property issues, including closings and title questions. He has also filed and defended mechanic's liens, a niche area of real property law that often intersects with construction and contract disputes. On the estates side, he has worked on probate and administration tasks, helping settle estates and resolve related conflicts. In accident cases he has represented clients in claims arising from personal injury and related disputes.
Courtroom work has been part of Goldstein's law practice. He has prepared pleadings, negotiated settlements and represented clients at hearings. Since 2009 he has been a member of the New York State Academy of Trial Lawyers, an association that connects attorneys who handle trial litigation across the state. That membership indicates ongoing engagement with trial practice and continuing legal education.
Clients who come to Goldstein's office typically encounter a blend of document-driven work and litigation readiness. He spends time drafting instruments that affect property rights and business relationships, and he prepares for the possibility of contested hearings or trials when matters cannot be resolved through negotiation. The practice reflects a pragmatic approach that balances paperwork, negotiation and courtroom advocacy.
His career stretches back to the mid-1980s and rests on the legal education he received in the 1970s. He maintains an active practice in New York through the Law Offices of Michael W. Goldstein, where he handles business and real estate matters, mechanic's liens, estates and accident cases.
