Client Perspectives

“Ms. Joyce Goldstein represented me in the sale of my house. From the first time talking to her on the phone I knew I was in great hands. Ms. Goldstein and her assistant Jacob were always there to answer any questions that arise. The buyers I was dealing with were not decent, but Ms. Goldstein was up for the challenge. She was the professor and they were the students when the process was over. Thank you so much Ms. Goldstein and Jacob for your dedication and professionalism in making sure that I received the best representation in the process.”

“Joyce was not only a consummate professional, but she also showed so much empathy and compassion for our situation. I trusted that she would do her utmost to help us after our first conversation, and I was not disappointed. She is fair and honest but she’s also tough yet cool-headed. I can’t recommend Joyce enough!”

“I had an outstanding experience with Altschul & Goldstein, P.C.—especially Joyce and her assistant Jacob. Our transaction became complicated due to several last-minute issues (lender underwriting changes, title curative items, and HOA paperwork timing), but Joyce stayed strategic and relentlessly proactive. Jacob kept everyone aligned with clear checklists, rapid follow-ups, and same-day document updates. They were responsive, detail-oriented, and focused on solutions—exactly who you want when a deal gets tricky. Highly recommend!”

“It was a pleasure working with Joyce and her assistant Jacob on the sale of my house (a new and daunting experience). Joyce is very professional, highly knowledgeable, and thorough. She answered all my questions, explained things clearly (including contract lingo), and helped me think through various negotiating options that arose. I felt that she had my best interests uppermost and she and Jacob were responsive throughout the process. Thank you, Joyce and Jacob!”

“My husband and I worked with Joyce on a Manhattan apartment purchase. Joyce was very thorough and patient and we never felt rushed in asking questions and chasing down details of the sale. We felt well represented and that Joyce was advocating on our behalf in negotiating certain aspects of closing. She negotiated effectively so that the deal still went through but we gained some compromises from the seller. We were happy with our choice of Joyce and would use again and recommend.”

“Joyce Goldstein and the team were excellent at representing us for a simultaneous purchase and sale. While several aspects of the transaction were not typical, Joyce ushered us through the process with ease, professionalism, and respect and kept our interests as a top priority. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a top-notch lawyer in NYC real estate or estate planning.”

"Our experience with Joyce as first-time home buyers was exceptional. She went above and beyond in thoroughly walking us through the whole process and giving us the information we needed to make informed decisions. We came in with almost zero knowledge and didn't have a buyer's agent, so Joyce's personalized and caring approach was essential. She even gave us what turned out to be great recommendations on inspection companies and loan officers. She's experienced, capable, and focused, while also being patient and generous with her time. We cannot recommend her highly enough."

"Joyce and Jacob are amazing. We did 2 closing with her. One for 3 family rental and another for 6 family commercial purchase. The transactions are different but Joyce guided me without any trouble.
I would definitely use Joyce and Jacob again. She is knowledgeable and super sweet. Her rate is very reasonable for the amount of work her put in."
Kevin Zeng, Client in 2023 & 2025
"I cannot recommend Joyce Goldstein's legal services enough. She recently helped my wife and I buy our first home in Queens. We bought directly from the owner of the house, without an agent, and so there were some aspects of the transaction that were not routine. As first time buyers, my wife and I would not have known how to navigate this process without Joyce's guidance. She gave us thorough breakdowns every step of the way and any time we had questions or concerns she was quickly available to discuss them with us. Throughout our navigating of financing and closing procedure, we always felt supported and looked out for. When we hit a few seeming setbacks with the seller, we felt she had good insight about our options from her many years of experience as well as always had our back in correspondence with their attorney. Overall, we are so grateful to Joyce for getting us through the home buying process and in some ways even making it possible for us to complete our closing."
