He says that he became enthralled with the criminal underworld and the fascination of convincing \u201c12 strangers\u201d to believe his narrative as opposed to the government\u2019s. Upon graduating, Jason was recruited to become a Brooklyn prosecutor, an office known for breeding scrappy trial lawyers. Here, he hustled, going desk to desk \u201cin search of the biggest casefile that nobody wanted\u201d and taking it to trial, honing his fundamentals and building his courtroom reputation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>A Practice on Passion<\/b><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After a few years, Goldman jumped from the DA\u2019s office to work for Jeffrey Lichtman and then ultimately opened up his own shop. Swiftly, he has become the go-to defense lawyer for society figures and those in the tabloids for all the wrong reasons. He built his name by taking on clients\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cfrom all walks of life and doing right by them.\u201d Given his trajectory, it\u2019s clear he did right by them. The attorney likes to say he represents \u201call collars\u201d \u2013 a single day can include defending an accused murderer and a C-suite executive charged with bank fraud. Goldman says trial lawyering, regardless of the charges, is about \u201ctelling a persuasive, emotional and compelling story about an individual.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After representing former New York Ranger Sean Avery, his first true breakthrough case came in the matter of Jordan Williams, an individual catapulted into the national limelight following a subway homicide. Referred by an old client, Goldman aggressively took over the case, keeping the media on his side while working to secure a complete dismissal of all charges in a matter of weeks. Asked about his career making case, Goldman says that he considers \u201cthe first time someone needed me\u201d to be his first big case, but concedes that Williams\u2019 matter \u201ctouched upon a bigger conversation around race, homelessness, and politics in the city \u2013 I gravitate towards cases which have a bigger meaning for society outside the four corners of an Indictment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-17753 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/rcourihay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Jason-Goldman-Jason-Goldman-Esq.-1-1-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rcourihay.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Jason-Goldman-Jason-Goldman-Esq.-1-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/rcourihay.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Jason-Goldman-Jason-Goldman-Esq.-1-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/rcourihay.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Jason-Goldman-Jason-Goldman-Esq.-1-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rcourihay.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Jason-Goldman-Jason-Goldman-Esq.-1-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rcourihay.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Jason-Goldman-Jason-Goldman-Esq.-1-1-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/rcourihay.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Jason-Goldman-Jason-Goldman-Esq.-1-1-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Regarding courtroom victories, Goldman points to what many don\u2019t see &#8211; the late, lonely hours committing a three-hour summation to memory. Still, Goldman exudes a certain level of instinctual confidence \u201conce the trial bell rings,\u201d relaying that the jury \u201clooks at how you carry yourself, your persona and your credibility, and in turn they naturally start to find your client credible too, which can make unwinnable cases winnable.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Empathy is Key<\/b><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Goldman stresses that he is always humanizing his clients &#8211; \u201ca lot of my success is taking a supposed villain of society and implying to a jury, \u2018look, you don\u2019t need to have dinner with the guy to find him not guilty.\u201d At the end of the day, Goldman says, \u201ceven those accused of the worst crimes, you go down to their core and they have the same blood running through them, the same emotion and empathy, the same fears and vulnerabilities that we all have.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Goldman points to another case in his career, that of Rashaun Weaver, a young black kid who stabbed and killed a white college girl in Morningside Park. \u201cProbably my most unpopular client ever.\u201d Goldman recalls originally reading about the case, naturally thinking that only a cold-blooded individual could commit such a senseless crime. But he did an about face as he learned about Weaver\u2019s impoverished upbringing with a father who kept firearms and drugs in his house. Goldman recalls seeing pictures of a playful 11-year-old Weaver only a year before the crime, in a more nuclear household through a social services program. Weaver\u2019s smiling face, \u201clearning how to swim and eating an ice cream cone like any normal kid\u201d moved Goldman emotionally. Goldman realized that \u201chad Weaver grown up 20 blocks south, on the Upper East Side, as opposed to his lawless reality in East Harlem,\u201d he simply wouldn\u2019t have committed this crime. \u201cPeople aren\u2019t predisposed to be criminals,\u201d Goldman says. \u201cUsually, it\u2019s where and how they grew up, who they were surrounded by. This kid never stood a chance. Despite the death threats, I\u2019d defend him all over again.\u201d Weaver pled guilty and was sentenced 14 years to life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The Lifeline<\/b><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When asked why he thinks his career has taken off recently, he reverts right back to his passion. \u201cWhen I quote a client, they know that it doesn\u2019t just mean they get me 9-5. What kind of retainer would that be? They get me at midnight, on the weekends. I defend them as if it\u2019s a family member.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Goldman typically carries around twenty cases and another ten or so \u201csituations &#8211; people who have problems that need to go away, which the public will never hear about.\u201d His network and his clients have started to tap him for more general legal work, which he has agreed to take on so long as he always \u201cstays in the action\u201d and satisfies his burning desire to defend those being prosecuted by the government. \u201cIt\u2019s simply the loneliest chair in the world,\u201d Goldman says. He <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">continues on, \u201cto hear the words \u2018not guilty\u2019 while sitting next to someone who is facing a life behind bars is like walking on water.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jasongoldmanlaw.com\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">jasongoldmanlaw.com<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Practically overnight, Jason Goldman has become one of the most in-demand defense attorneys in New York City.
