Law Practice Areas

Civil and Business litigation

Civil Litigation involves cases where the primary objective is to obtain monetary, injunctive or declaratory relief. These cases can evolve from all sorts of different factual scenarios, including personal injuries sustained as a result of the negligent conduct of others, claims affecting real property and breach of contract actions and evictions. Unfortunately, when money is involved, these types of cases can be anything but civil.

Personal Injury: If you’ve been injured, you need an experienced personal injury attorney to stand up for your rights and see your case through to the end. Don’t gamble on your future or your health by trying to handle a personal injury situation without Robert G. Goldsmith.

Business Litigation & Contracts: Never sign a contract without first having had a business litigation lawyer's eye on it. Trust these matters to the keen and experienced prowess of civil litigation attorney Robert G. Goldsmith.

Family law Attorney

Family Law is the specific area of law that deals with many different issues involving your marital relationship or domestic partnership including, but not limited to, divorce, legal separation, child custody, visitation, child support, spousal support, property division, and debt allocation.

At the Law Offices of Robert G. Goldsmith, we understand that these matters are some of the most important concerns in your life, which is why you should never try to go through this process without the assistance of a family law attorney. However, unnecessarily spending money on family law attorneys while you are trying to prepare for a new life is not the answer either.

If you have already consulted with a family law attorney about your family law matter you have probably already learned that most family law attorneys require you to pay them a large retainer fee at the beginning of your case, which they will bill against at an hourly rate, with no end in sight. When the money runs out, typically so does the attorney.

Although every case is different and comes with a unique set of facts and circumstances, in many situations, our office can assist you with your family law matter on a flat fee basis that is tailored to your circumstances, so that you can have the comfort and security of knowing in advance what your legal fees and costs will be and that we will be there with you throughout this process. This is one of the many ways we try to set ourselves apart from other firms.

With over a decade of serving his clients as a divorce attorney and child custody lawyer, you can be confident that your case will be handled with experience, honesty and integrity.

Real Estate Law

Evictions: An unlawful detainer is a Court preceding that is brought for the purpose of determining who has the legal right to "possession" of a specific piece of real property. These types of lawsuits, which are more commonly known as evictions, are subject to strict procedural requirements which, if not followed, can be the difference between winning and losing a case. As a result of over 14 years of experience representing landlords and tenants in these types of cases, the Law Offices of Robert G. Goldsmith is very aware of these procedural requirements and how to use them for the benefit of their clients.

Our office also handles litigation and pre-litigation cases which involve the issue of who is the rightful owner of a specific piece of real property, including, quiet title actions, impositions of constructive trusts, and lis pendens which have been filed against the property.
