Fantastic Injury Attorney and Firm

I've, (unfortunately), had to use the services of Mr. Goodman twice in the last 20 years for major injuries, (a very serious injury while at work and one involving an automobile accident which ripped-up my knee. The ONLY good part of either experience was being referred to Bob. He knows both the la...w and the system like the back of his hand, and truly works, seemingly endlessly, to ensure the best possible result for you. Both Bob and the remainder of his firm are available at all times to you, and never make you feel as if any question you may have is "stupid" or a waste of his/their time. This firm is no bunch of "ambulance-chasers". Bob expects the truth from you, and wouldn't take you on as a client unless he knows you have truly been harmed at the hands of someone/something else. Without a doubt, being seriously injured is a horrible thing to go through, I still deal with my injuries today. But at least with Mr. Goodman and his firm on your side, you won't have to worry about losing your income, paying for medical services you may need in the future or being fairly compensated by the wrongful party for your pain and suffering. If you've been seriously injured, don't even think about calling anyone different, you won't be disappointed.

Great Lawyering

Mr Goodman is a first class attorney, very skilled diligent and has extensive trial experience. Often I feel as a result of this, cases are settled with high number's. He has represented me in a 2008 MVA Flip over and a 2012 MVA. Both cases were challenging, presented many obstacales. Mr Goodman is l...ike GPS and navitgages right through to get the best possible outcome.

Amazing Trial Lawyer!

Mr. Goodman was absolutely outstanding as my lawyer when I suffered a serious neck injury three years ago. He is knowledgeable, compassionate, kind, hard-working and kept me informed of the progress of my case every step of the way. He has been consistently recognized by his peers as a "Super Lawye...r" for 9 years running! If you are looking for quiet calm competence and brilliant representation coupled with the highest integrity, look no further. Quality representation that delivers.

A seasoned professional you want on your side of the table!

I have worked in the insurance claims industry for 40 yrs defending personal injury cases on behalf of the insurance companies. After years of defending numerous cases opposing Mr. Goodman, I got to know and respect his talents and tenacity. He is extremely thorough and proficient in every case I h...ad dealt with him. Over 10 yrs ago, I myself had a personal injury case and the only attorney I would trust with my case was Mr. Goodman. He promptly forced the other side to admit liability after cornering them with fault and the case just became, "how much" and settled at a very acceptable figure. I recently had another personal injury case which Mr. Goodman represented me and again he had obtained stellar results forcing the other side into submission and settlement. Mr. Goodman and his staff are the ultimate professionals leaving no stone unturned and getting the best possible results! I have had experience working with hundreds of attorneys countrywide over the years of my career and as far as I am concerned, he is the only attorney I would trust with my interests.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
