Law Firm / Individual

Gary Goldstein, P.A.

Former Ivankovich Family Counsel; Adverse Creditor
Also known as: Gary Goldstein PA; Goldstein Law
Adverse Creditor — $1.96M Claim

Overview

Gary Goldstein PA served as the Ivankovich family's trusted personal legal advisor — managing entity structures across the Atlas, Pilgrim, and marine portfolios, and coordinating litigation across the Seakeeper and CMR tracks. Goldstein was never retained by Starboard Yacht Group. His engagement fractured when a $1.2M wire transfer exposed internal financial contradictions. Goldstein turned adverse, filed a CPD complaint for $1.2M in trust account disputes, and billed 10 Ivankovich entities jointly and severally $1,960,000 (invoice dated January 3, 2026). He is now a witness with deep knowledge of the enterprise's internal operations, shell structures, and fund flows.
