Marshall Scott Goodman

Mr. Goodman represented a family member and provided excellent legal services. He is skilled lawyer and also a sincere and caring person, who provided both legal and personal guidance. Mr. Goodman showed good instinct and professionalism throughout the process (and in the courtroom) and we were very ...pleased with the outcome. We are grateful for his services and would highly recommend his law office.

If you need a great criminal lawyer in Charlottesville, VA that is professional, cares about his client and knows his way around the court system then I highly recommend Mr. Scott Goodman. We hired Mr. Goodman after a bad experience with our 1st lawyer. Mr. Goodman was professional, open in our discu...ssions, caring about his client’s well being and did not sugar coat his responses. He responded to all of our requests/questions in a timely manner. He updated us on any progress or discussions with the DA. Mr. Goodman worked patiently and diligently to prep the accused for trial who had difficulties in communicating effectively. In the end there was a plea deal for a jail sentence of 45 days for a misdemeanor instead of a possible 16 years in prison. So do yourself a favor, do your research and meet with Mr. Goodman. You won’t be sorry.

I could not have asked for a better experience with Mr. Goodman. He was extremely diligent (spent time taking pictures to back up my story, answered all my calls/texts immediately, followed up with the court afterwords to make sure everything was fine). We were able to get the judge to take our side ...over the cops and this would not be at all possible if it weren't for his work. He made me feel comfortable throughout it all and I learned the way an attorney should do the job correctly. He also knew all the right people in the right places! A peer had recommended him to me and now I can consider him to be a good friend of mind. Thanks Scott!

I was in a really bad situation, definitely facing jail time for several reasons. I was very stressed out and thought it was very possible that I might lose everything. I went to Mr. Goodman and he very calmly and professional got me through everything with no jail time at all. He knew exactly what t...o say to the judge and put on a great case for me. He obviously cares a lot about his clients, and made me feel very comfortable. I would recommend him to anyone, and will always hire him in the future.

Mr. Goodman was great helping me understand my case and the best way to proceed. He met with me twice before I even hired him, and told me that he'd do his best but couldn't guarantee anything. I definitely respected him giving it to me straight and not just trying to get me to hire him. But I'm r...eally glad I did. We ended up having to go to a jury trial, and he really did an absolutely outstanding job at trial and I was found not guilty on all 3 counts charged against me. I've since recommended him to friends and colleagues who all have nothing but great things to say about him as well.
