Practice Overview

Barrie Goldstein’s passion for the law is reflected in the wide range of legal practices she covers. Her clients, who range from businesses and government entities to individuals who reside part-time in Litchfield County, benefit from Barrie’s legal know-how in matters as diverse as civil litigation, family law, child protection, child custody, land use, real estate, employment and taxes.

She combines the sophistication of a big city lawyer with the personal touch of a small town attorney.

Her three decades of experience working with the courts at all levels of the judicial system has attracted the attention of major law firms who have worked with Ms. Goldstein on special assignments involving pre-trial, trial, and appellate issues.

Civil litigation :

"The interesting thing about being a litigator is every case is new," says Ms. Goldstein. She applies that fresh approach to each client involved in disputes involving civil rights and constitutional law ; land use and zoning disputes; breach of contract; bankruptcy ; government regulation ; the workplace and other matters of legal contention.

Family Law :

Barrie Goldstein's compassion for her clients is most evident when dealing with the sensitive and emotional matters of family law. Barrie tenaciously defends the rights of children on behalf of their parents and guardians, looking out for her clients’ best interest in cases concerning child protection, child custody and effective removal. She often serves as a Guardian Ad Litem.

Ms. Goldstein is equally tenacious and compassionate representing clients involved in divorce proceedings. She balances her clients’ financial and psychological needs to create a settlement that will enable them to move forward with the rest of their lives.

Land Use and Zoning :

Barrie Goldstein has shown you can fight city hall (or the equivalent) in divisive matters concerning land use and zoning. She has represented individual homeowners, including part-time residents, in easement and re-zoning disputes with local governments and commissions. As an example of her sophisticated approach to seemingly basic matters, Ms. Goldstein has applied constitutional principals of due process to a dispute between a local land owner and a town in a case that has drawn a lot of attention in western Connecticut.
