Goldsmith is one of the "top employment lawyers" in the metropolitan area -- December 2004 Washingtonian Magazine. "I am writing this letter to thank you for all your help with my case and to say how much I appreciate all that you did to assure we would prevail. After my initial consultation with you, I was comforted to know I had found an excellent employment attorney, who is very competent and knowledgeable, who turned out to be the best...Words are not enough to say how pleased I am with the outcome of my case and I highly recommend anyone facing an employment law situation to you. Again, thank you so much for everything!" "It is particularly gratifying to contemplate [Mr. Goldsmith] vindicating the rights of [] individuals, who without [such] efforts would have no access to the legal system." "If you start a company to produce the Goldsmith Guide to surviving summary judgment, let me know. I'll buy stock." "Leizer: I am in awe of your brief. Even if we do not win, I feel vindicated by your presentation. You have captured every nuance of the situation and have presented a forceful argument which the agency will have difficulty in striking down." "I would like to thank you for all your help in my legal matters concerning my former employer. When I first came into your office a few months ago, I believed that I had little chance of ever finding justice. I was a young, inexperienced, immigrant secretary with a short time on the job when I found myself subjected to treatment by my company's owner that no one should have to deal with. It was living a nightmare that seemed to have no way out. You showed me that even money cannot protect the guilty. Every time we met to discuss my case you made me feel better. You gave me hope and you explained everything, telling me every option I had and answering any questions I asked. When my employer began to take action against me and I thought I should just drop the whole case, you reacted quickly and put an end to their illegal actions. When things happened that again scared me and made me sure that we could not win, you laughed and showed me how the opposite was true. And when I worried again and again about what all this might end up costing me, you made my worries go away by again explaining our contract and reminding me how much control I had over the whole case. I hope that I never have to rely upon the services of lawyers in a lawsuit again, because I realize how difficult it can be to stand up against rich and powerful people and demand justice. When I did need a lawyer though, I'm forever glad I found you to represent me. I cannot undo the terrible injustice I suffered, but with your help I can at least know that I forced my employer to take my accusation seriously and to pay for his disgusting actions. Thank you. Best wishes!" "...We were very impressed with the feedback you provided us during our initial consultation. The information and insight you gave was extremely useful..." "...Your kindness has been sincerely appreciated. It is not everyday that you find people that believe in you. I thank you for doing that. May God keep and bless you and your practice. Amen..." "...when my colleague needed help there was only one law firm that had the needed skills to handle problems she encountered: yours." "...I feel compelled to write a note of thanks. From the moment that I met with you regarding my difficult employment situation, I sensed that you were a rare breed of attorney. Having been wrongfully sued by my former employer is certainly traumatic. But, for the conclusion of the matter to be that they pay damages as a result of the mediated settlement, can be described as sweet success. Yet beyond thanking you for the successful outcome, I must thank you for the integrity of the process you utilized to gain our win. First, your caring attitude for my situation truly differentiated you from ever attorney I have used in the past. Second, your knowledge of employment and contract law kept "research" expenses minimized. Third, your strategic analysis of my case so to optimize our negotiating position focusced me on a realistic expectation for resolution of the matter. I greatly appreciate your process, which is a reflection of your personal integrity.."
