Unique Approach

Learning that one is the subject or target of a government investigation or prosecution is one of the most horrific days in most if not all of our clients’ lives. We understand we are involved in the most important matter in our clients’ lives, and we treat it accordingly. Because our success has afforded us the luxury to accept a limited number of clients, we are able to devote the time and attention that our clients’ matters deserve. We do not operate volume practices, but instead have limited clients who receive the majority of our time. There are no defined days, no defined hours. When we accept a client, we understand their entire life—family, business, and liberty—often hangs in the balance, and we therefore remain available to our clients at all times.

The limited clientele allows us to be proactive, not reactive, when it comes to defending our clients. You will not be calling or emailing us for answers or information (though you are always welcome to do so), we will be calling you—our practices are built upon constant communication and collaboration with our clients. We don’t have regular hours or days of employment—we operate on a 24/7 schedule, understanding that matters of this import need constant attention, strategizing, and communication. On a case by case basis, we determine the extent of the resources necessary to present the most effective defense possible, and have the resources and relationships to do so.

We are well-known and respected by our adversaries, but it is critical for any person targeted or prosecuted by the government to understand that professional prosecutors do not make charging, plea or trial decisions based on friendships or old acquaintances. Instead, like any other attorney, their decisions are based on a careful assessment of the risks and benefits of litigation, including the likelihood of their success if the matter eventually results in a trial. This is precisely why, when confronted with a government investigation or indictment, you need highly skilled and experienced criminal defense trial attorneys, whom the government understands have the ability to successfully litigate the matter both before and, if necessary, during a trial. We invite you to contact us to learn more.

Testimonials

Rob guided me through the most difficult time in my life ... His preparation for the case and his execution in trial were truly the difference ... I truly trusted him with my life and he came through. Not a great promoter or guy who likes to hype, but he delivers where it counts. I am truly grateful...

CEO / Entrepeneur charged with wire and securities

Mr. Goldstein, I practice federal criminal defense in Oklahoma City. Last week I had the pleasure of watching you in action...I saw some of your cross examination on Thursday and your closing argument on Friday. You were absolutely phenomenal and I was very impressed with your trial skills. You are...

Federal criminal defense attorney

I was astonished to learn he had graduated from law school only in 1995. I would have attributed another fifteen years experience to his resume.
