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 mir...acle. 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.
