Jeffrey D. Goldstein

Jeffrey D. Goldstein is a co-founder of the firm and heads the firm's business law and business litigation practice.

Jeff has been practicing law in Maryland and the District of Columbia since 1991 and in Virginia since 1993. His practice is focused on commercial litigation and general business law. Jeff represents companies from the D.C. metropolitan area as well as companies based throughout the United States and around the world.

Jeffs commercial litigation matters range from complex Federal Court litigation to simple collection matters in the local state courts of general jurisdiction. He has handled cases of all types, sizes, and complexities over the past two decades. Sometimes it's "bet the company" litigation where the entire survival of the business is at risk, and sometimes it's merely collecting a receivable from an uncooperative customer. Whatever the matter, Jeff is careful to properly analyze the dispute at issue and handle the matter in the most efficient and economical way possible.

Jeff often acts as "outside general counsel" to many companies, including, construction companies, software companies, government contractors, public relations firms, medical practices, and many other types of businesses. In that role, Jeff forms corporations and limited liability companies and is often called upon to review leases, contracts, employment documents, employment handbooks, purchase orders and other commonly used forms and to generally advise companies in regard to the their day-to-day legal problems.

A particular focus of Jeff's litigation practice is non-compete litigation. Jeff has represented both employees and employers in this often contentious type of dispute.

Jeff received his undergraduate degree in political communications from the George Washington University in 1988 and his law degree from George Washington University National Law Center in 1991.

Jeff is licensed to practice before all of the state and federal courts in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. He is a member of Maryland State Bar Association, the Montgomery County and Fairfax County Bar Associations, as well as the Litigation Section of the District of Columbia Bar.
