Scott Saved My Butt

I came to Scott with a reckless driving case that every other lawyer in town told me was a long shot and then some. Scott said he felt confident he could reduce the charges, and he wasn’t just telling me what I wanted to hear. He jumped right into the case, came to meet me on the weekend, and had not...hing but great advice to offer. Scott is smart, personable, and genuinely cares about his clients. As such, he also has friends in all the right places. He was able to work it out with the officer ahead of time so only the most favorable version of events would come out, and he knew exactly what would and wouldn’t be important to the judge. The case was over and done with in less than a minute, and I was beyond happy with the results. Long story short, Scott’s the man.

Hit and run

I had never had an encounter with the law until a few months ago when I was falsely accused of a hit and run and more. A “concerned citizen” followed me for 25 minutes to work, honking the horn and calling the Police. I was so embarrassed when they all piled out of their cars at my place of employme...nt. Even worse the officer gave me a breathalyzer test and told me to walk the line. It was 3 o’clock in the afternoon! A co-worker recommended Mr. Goodman. He was worth every nickel and then some. He is very intuitive to your legal needs, communicates calmly and responds in a timely manner to your phone calls. The case against me was dismissed!! I strongly recommend Mr. Goodman – he helped keep my clean driving record of 40 years.

Very Helpful and NOT Condescending

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.
