Arnie was great to work with for my divorce. Having been my first, I was nervous and didn't know who to use. My ex has since told me he was afraid of Arnie. This process is a horrible one, but have the strength to see it through with Arnie. read more

If you are looking for a divorce attorney do not go to the large law firms. They will take all your money and cause more grief. I hired Arnold Goldstein after using 3 of the largest law firms in Illinois. I recommend Arnold because he will handle your divorce with honesty and integrity. He will not drag it on and charge unreasonable fees. He is a family man and knows how important it is to keep the divorce as peaceful as possible. read more

Arnie has been a wonderful attorney for me. He has been the sword in my divorce battle and has helped me navigate through this difficult transition with compassion and understanding. He has extensive experience in family and divorce law so he knows what to do in every situation. He also knows everyone, and I mean everyone, which has been a tremendous asset in my case. He is also an expert in financial law and has fought very hard for my rights. I don't know what I would've done without all of Arnie's guidance, mentorship and advice. He is a tough fighter and has stood behind me and my rights all the way and I am so glad I chose him to present me. read more

Several years ago while I still lived in Chicago, I hired Arnold Goldstein to take care of my divorce. Long story short, he talks a lot, and does nothing. He was promising and bragging while talking to me in private, but always became really silent while talking to my ex' lawyer. He ended up trying to convince me to give up on more things, and was more representing my ex' interests against me, rather than representing me in court. The outcome of the divorce was more unpleasant than it could have been, partly because of ridiculous "common practices" in the State of Illinois (which apparently override the written laws), partially because Mr. Goldstein's services were mostly a rip-off. Later on, Mr. Goldstein refused to deal with the consequences of poorly drafted divorce decree. He might be good manipulating lame opponents, but there's really nothing he can do against arrogance, while the other side doesn't do any clear violations. Moreover, even when the other side violates court order, the cost of enforcing what you need makes it not worth it - not with how Mr. Goldstein is charging you. The only thing I achieved (and I can't stress enough that it was my stubbornness, and not Mr. Goldstein's professionalism) is to not allow my ex to make profits from the financial problems caused by Mr. Goldstein. Stay away of this attorney, and most important, stay away of divorce court in the State of Illinois. read more

Arnold Goldstein represents the best of the attorneys that represent families in both Lake County and Cook County. After working with three other attorneys trying to solve a difficult family divorce Arnold Goldstein was the only one that stepped up and solved the case to both sides satisfaction. He is very thorough and his attention to detail makes him different than most attorneys. Also his ability to bring the other side to the table with reasonable and persuasive arguments, makes him stand out from the crowd. This isn't some friend or family posting this, this is someone who suffered both personally and financially and was rescued by Mr Goldstein and I can highly recommend him to anyone who's going through difficult legal family issues in either Cook or Lake County. I highly recommend you considering Mr Goldstein for any legal issues regarding your family or divorce I stand behind these words with sincerity and truth. read more
