Introduction
Attorney Adam S. Goldstein’s legal career includes work on the Pan Am Flight 103 explosion case in Lockerbie, Scotland, one of the largest and most complex aviation disaster litigations in history, which resulted in a $19 million verdict. That foundational experience in high-stakes litigation informed the approach he brought to founding The Goldstein Law Firm in 1994, a practice now carrying nearly 30 years of accumulated legal knowledge across family law, personal injury, and homeowner rights matters along Florida’s Gulf Coast.
The firm is located at 5741 9th Avenue N. Suite C, St. Petersburg, FL 33710, and can be reached at (727) 820-0200.
Practice Areas
Family Law
The family law practice addresses the full range of matters that arise when families reorganize through legal proceedings:
- Divorce, including both contested and uncontested proceedings
- Child support determination and enforcement
- Child custody and time sharing arrangements
- Alimony, including initial awards and modifications
- Restraining orders for protective purposes
- Equitable distribution of marital assets and liabilities
- Modifications of existing orders as circumstances change
- Paternity establishment
- Domestic violence matters
Family law cases carry personal stakes that extend well beyond legal procedure, and the firm works closely with each client to provide honest advice and strategic guidance calibrated to their specific situation.
Personal Injury
The personal injury practice handles automobile accident cases and insurance disputes. When insurers delay, undervalue, or deny valid claims, the firm engages directly in disputes to pursue the compensation clients are owed. Auto accident representation covers both the immediate injuries and the longer-term financial consequences that follow a serious collision.
Foreclosure and Homeowner Rights
The firm represents homeowners navigating foreclosure proceedings, asserting the rights that Florida law affords to property owners facing loss of their homes. This area of practice reflects an understanding that preserving a client’s home can be as consequential as any other legal matter they will face.

Client Focus
Clients come to the firm at significant turning points: divorces that reshape financial and family structures, accidents that interrupt their lives and generate unexpected costs, and foreclosure proceedings that threaten their homes. The firm’s approach across all three practice areas centers on working closely with each individual client, providing advice grounded in honesty and strategy developed around the specific facts of their situation.
The Gulf Coast of Florida has a significant retiree and near-retirement population that generates a specific blend of legal needs: estate planning and property rights issues intersect with family law matters, and auto accidents among older residents carry different damage profiles than those among younger claimants. The Goldstein Law Firm’s multi-practice model allows it to serve clients whose legal needs span more than one category without requiring them to find separate representation.
