Terms of Service

Last Updated: June 29, 2026

Welcome to AttorneyMichaelGoldstein.com. These Terms of Service govern your use of this website and any information, forms, scheduling tools, text message features, or other online services made available through this website.

By using this website, submitting information through a form, scheduling a consultation, or communicating with Attorney Michael Goldstein through this website, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use this website.

1. Website Owner

This website is operated by Attorney Michael Goldstein.

For questions about these Terms, you may contact:

Attorney Michael Goldstein

Phone: (941) 414-0949
Email: See our contact page

2. Attorney Advertising

This website may be considered attorney advertising under the rules of professional conduct applicable in Massachusetts and other jurisdictions.

The information on this website is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not intended to be legal advice and should not be relied upon as legal advice for your specific situation.

Prior results, case examples, testimonials, reviews, or descriptions of legal services do not guarantee a similar outcome in any future matter.

3. No Legal Advice

The content on this website is general information only. Legal issues depend on specific facts, deadlines, documents, laws, court rules, agency practices, and jurisdictional requirements.

Reading this website, using an online form, viewing a pricing page, downloading information, or scheduling a consultation does not mean you have received legal advice.

You should not act or refrain from acting based solely on anything you read on this website. You should speak directly with an attorney about your specific facts before making legal decisions.

4. No Attorney-Client Relationship Unless Confirmed in Writing

Use of this website does not create an attorney-client relationship.

An attorney-client relationship is created only when:

  1. Attorney Michael Goldstein agrees to represent you;
  2. Any required conflict check has been completed;
  3. The scope of representation has been agreed upon; and
  4. You have signed a written engagement agreement or fee agreement, unless another written arrangement is expressly agreed to.

Submitting a contact form, sending an email, leaving a voicemail, sending a text message, scheduling a consultation, or speaking with Attorney Michael Goldstein does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship.

Until a written engagement agreement is signed, Attorney Michael Goldstein has not agreed to represent you.

5. Do Not Send Confidential or Time-Sensitive Information Before Representation Is Confirmed

Please do not send confidential, highly sensitive, or time-sensitive information through this website unless and until an attorney-client relationship has been formally established.

Although reasonable efforts may be made to protect communications, website forms, email, text messaging, online scheduling tools, and other electronic communications may not be fully secure.

If your matter involves an urgent legal deadline, court date, collection action, tax deadline, bankruptcy issue, contract deadline, or other time-sensitive matter, you should contact an attorney directly and promptly. Do not rely on this website as a substitute for immediate legal help.

6. Consultation Requests

You may use this website to request a consultation or submit information about a potential legal matter.

Submitting a consultation request does not guarantee that Attorney Michael Goldstein will accept your matter. Attorney Michael Goldstein may decline representation for any reason, including conflicts of interest, jurisdictional limits, scheduling availability, subject matter limitations, or other professional considerations.

You remain responsible for protecting your own rights and meeting any applicable deadlines unless and until a written engagement agreement has been signed.

7. Scope of Legal Services

Attorney Michael Goldstein may offer legal services in areas such as small business law, business formation, contract review, tax workouts, debt relief, bankruptcy-related matters, estate planning, and other services described on this website.

The availability of any service depends on the facts of your matter, jurisdictional rules, licensing requirements, conflicts of interest, and whether Attorney Michael Goldstein agrees in writing to represent you.

Information about services on this website is not a promise that a particular service is available for your matter.

8. Jurisdiction and Licensing

Attorney Michael Goldstein is licensed to practice law in Massachusetts.

Legal services outside Massachusetts may be limited, may require association with attorneys licensed in another jurisdiction, or may only be provided where permitted by applicable rules.

If a matter involves another state, federal court, bankruptcy court, tax agency, administrative agency, or other jurisdiction, Attorney Michael Goldstein will determine whether he can assist directly, assist through appropriate counsel, or decline the matter.

Nothing on this website should be understood as an offer to practice law in any jurisdiction where doing so would violate applicable rules.

9. Fees, Flat Fees, and Filing Fees

This website may describe flat fees, starting fees, estimated fees, consultation fees, or legal service packages.

Unless clearly stated otherwise, any listed legal fee does not include government filing fees, court costs, recording fees, publication fees, third-party vendor charges, tax preparation fees, expert fees, postage, notary fees, or other outside costs.

Any final fee agreement will be controlled by the written engagement agreement signed by the client and Attorney Michael Goldstein.

Prices listed on this website may change at any time. A listed price does not guarantee that your matter qualifies for that fee.

10. Payment Terms

If legal services are offered and accepted, payment terms will be described in the applicable engagement agreement, invoice, payment link, or written communication.

Failure to make required payments may result in delay, suspension, or termination of services, subject to applicable professional rules and any required notice.

Online payments may be processed through third-party payment providers. Attorney Michael Goldstein is not responsible for errors, delays, outages, or security practices of third-party payment processors.

11. Text Messages and Calls

If you provide your phone number through this website, you may consent to receive non-marketing calls or text messages related to your inquiry, consultation, appointment, legal matter, or requested services.

Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply.

You may reply STOP to opt out of text messages or HELP for assistance. You may also contact Attorney Michael Goldstein directly to request that communications stop.

Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of hiring Attorney Michael Goldstein.

Text messaging may not be secure. Do not send highly sensitive or confidential information by text unless you have been specifically instructed to do so after an attorney-client relationship has been established.

12. Email Communications

Email communications may not be secure and may be subject to interception, misdelivery, spam filtering, or delay.

Do not assume that Attorney Michael Goldstein has received or reviewed an email unless you receive a response confirming receipt.

If a matter is urgent, call directly.

13. Website Forms and Third-Party Tools

This website may use third-party tools for forms, scheduling, analytics, call tracking, customer relationship management, payment processing, email delivery, text messaging, website hosting, security, or other website functions.

Attorney Michael Goldstein does not guarantee any result, settlement, court ruling, tax outcome, bankruptcy result, business outcome, estate planning result, debt relief result, or other legal outcome.

Any examples on this website are for informational or illustrative purposes only.

16. Third-Party Links

This website may contain links to third-party websites, government websites, court websites, payment processors, scheduling tools, articles, videos, or other external resources.

These links are provided for convenience only. Attorney Michael Goldstein does not control and is not responsible for third-party websites, content, availability, security, accuracy, or privacy practices.

The inclusion of a link does not mean Attorney Michael Goldstein endorses the third-party website or service.
