Mr. Goodman Helped me immensely!
Mr. Goodman is amazing. He is very professional, responsive to the client's needs, and effective. The odds of a good outcome in my court case were slim, but Mr. Goodman produced an outcome better than I could have imagined possible.

Excellent, above and beyond
Highly recommend this lawyer, I was ACCUSED of strangulation ,assault and battery and I was found not guilty on all the counts yesterday. It was a VERY COMPLICATED case with a very little chance but Mr.Goodman took the case to a jury and won.

Fantastic Representation from Scott Goodman
I hired Mr. Goodman to defend me for a DUI charge in Blacksburg VA and I could not be more pleased with my representation. He was responsive, took a personal interest in my case, and was available to me whenever I needed him. Mr. Goodman was very knowledgable of the law and familiar with the judges in Montgomery county. While he did not sugar coat the process or the likely outcome of my case, he worked very hard to prepare me, coach me, and work toward the most positive outcome possible.

Outstanding attorney
Scott Goodman was an excellent defense attorney for me. He is a no-nonsense, dedicated attorney, who doesn’t promise things he can’t deliver for you. He responds promptly to phone calls and texts, he is a great communicator, and he works behind the scenes to produce the best possible outcome for his clients. He really cares about each client. He deserves ten stars.

He is the man!
Do not hesitate to hire Mr. Goodman! He was able to help me when things looked impossible. I was facing a serious felony charge paired with a DUI. He was able to get the felony down to a misdemeanor and limit the total impact to my life. I was able to keep my job and maintain my family with his help during my court case. I was facing up to 10 years and with his help getting my charged reduced, I was given 5 days for that charge but I had to take my medicine with the DUI. Overall the outcome was fantastic considering what I was facing, I will trade 15 days on the weekends in jail vs. 10 years. He is very straight forward with what you are facing and will help you in anyway he can. He did not disappoint with his results. Plea deal was already in place by the time I walked into court. Hire him if you are in trouble and need a lawyer!

Scott is amazing and my court case came out better than I could have imagined. Scott believed in me and that made all the difference. Scott gets the job done and doesn’t have an ego. He can work miracles. He saved my job and my self respect. I am a new person thanks to him.

Life saver
I have never been in trouble before and was horrified. This was so stressful and traumatic for me. Scott was there to help with all my crazy questions and panic attacks. Always responding and helping. The day of trial I was a wreck. My charges were rather serious. I never had to speak, Scott did all the talking! He got my charges dismissed! I have never been so relieved in my life.

The best criminal attorney in the area!
I needed an attorney because I was charged with Reckless after my car slipped into a ditch. Scott Goodman gave my case his full attention. Scott was very patient and had excellent communication skills. He provided the worst and best scenarios. Scott was warm, kind, and sensitive to my needs. I knew I had the best possible representation. I was very happy with the result.

Hire him!
Mr. Goodman is phenomenal! There is not a single doubt he will help you in every way possible! Very easy to contact! Texts back right away and stays in close contact with you. Very upfront about what you are facing but also very reassuring he is there to help! He makes a bad situation so much better. I owe him so much! You will not go wrong with hiring Mr. Goodman! I wish I could give him ten stars!

Best and Most Compassionate Lawyer in Charlottesville
Scott is an amazing lawyer who helped me avoid consequences that would have had the capacity to damage my life and career. From the beginning he was as supportive as anyone could be. Never for a second did he let his guard down in court and he zealously defended my innocence from the get go. If you are looking for a lawyer who will look at you not only as a source of income, but also understands the human factors in your case, Scott Goodman is your guy.

The Best Attorney in Charlottesville VA and The Surrounding Area.
Scott Goodman works hard for his clients. He is personal and will fight for to defend you. My circumstances were hopeless, Scott Goodman's advice was the best thing that could have happened to me.We went to trial and Scott Goodman gave a awesome defense on my behalf. The outcome was nothing but a miracle. Because of Scott Goodman's questions and professionalism as an attorney I could not have asked for a better outcome. I highly recommend him for any case. If it had been any other attorney I would be doing time. He's the best attorney to represent you. This is written from my heart because, I'm very grateful to him.

Rare Seasoned Attorney who is Honest and truly cares!
My name is Vince L. and very recently moved to Charlottesville because of an ex-girlfriend, biggest mistake of my life. Next thing I know, I was in jail and facing 2 Misdemeanor and 1 Felony charges due to an altercation that occurred. After being lied to by my 1st Attorney, Ms. Jessica P. who took a $10k retainer from me and strongly influenced me to take a plea deal when I wanted to fight my case, happily told me that I was going to do some time, most likely a year. I was very uncomfortable with her lack of compassion and decided to terminate her representing me and hired Mr. Scott Goodman, a name I've heard from many that has a reputation that preceded himself. From the first meeting, I was impressed with his straight forward and honest demeanor. Mr. Goodman was very patient with me and after knowing my story with my previous attorney, He charged me $2,500 flat fee. I've met with Mr. Goodman probably close to 8x in his office as well as phone/email communications. Mr. Goodman's 40+ years of experience as an Attorney is very evident from the professional knowledge he gives. Instead of getting the jail time my 1st attorney almost assured me of, by the Grace of God that led me to hiring Mr. Scott Goodman I was given probation. I am grateful and lucky to have obtained the professional services of Mr. Scott Goodman and I have and will continue to strongly recommend him.

Dropped DUI charge
I gave Scott Goodman a call as soon as I was charged with a DUI and he went straight to working for me. He was able to have my case dismissed with little repricution to myself. He is known to be the best defense attorney in Charlottesville and he holds up to that reputation by far.

Highly-respected for a reason
Scott is not only an skilled attorney, he is respected by local prosecutors, judges, cops as a trustworthy and fair opponent. I hired him for a reckless driving charge and he was worked the facts, the law and my record to get a really favorable outcome. You can't go wrong bringing a case to him.

He’s amazing at what he does and I highly recommend him he’s the best Attorney I’ve had yet
Scott Goodman is literally the best lawyer I've met in my life I've paid $10,000 for the lawyer Stephen Harris an he didn't do nothin to help my case at all I had a public defender in Richmond named Zachary Miller who also did way more than Mr.Harris. Scott literally made them look like fools in my eyes, with the knowledge he possesses, and with how good he is at what he does he's hands down the best lawyer I've ever met he's a really cool dude very understanding and very willing to work with you like I said Scott Goodman is by far the best attorney anybody can hire hands down, Scott has saved me time an time again so if your ever looking for an attorney Scott Goodman's your guy hands down.
