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.
