Carte Goodwin

Commercial real estate lawyer | Apr 07

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I had the privilege of working with Jonathan in a public service position. In addition to being a position of public trust, that experience inevitably required a lawyer to be well-versed (or become well-versed in short periods of time) in a wide variety of legal areas and public policy. In each instance, Jonathan employed his considerable intellect, ethical standards, and judgement on behalf of our client, attributes that now serve him well in the private practice of law. Without hesitation, I offer my endorsement."

Avvo Rating

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
