Would recommend to anyone!

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.

The Very Best

Mr. Goodman has helped my son avoid going to prison on a drug charge and for that I am eternally grateful! He will fight hard for you no matter what your charge and give you the best chance at a new and better future!

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.

Trust him

Scott Goodman lives up to his reputation beyond a reasonable doubt. I heard about him from a few friends, had it not been for that I would probably not have been lucky enough to retain him. I was facing 5 counts of driving on a revoked license in Virginia, punishable by up to 5 years in prison, 5 yea...rs loss of license, and a 12,500 dollar fine. The prosecution brought in multiple witnesses, and had photos of me allegedly driving when I wasn't supposed to...I was innocent but other lawyers assured me there is no way I could get anything better than getting four dropped and convicted on one, but I was confident enough in Mr. Goodman to put my life on the line. Scott Goodman redefines the term "reasonable doubt"... we pleaded not guilty, the trial lasted over an hour, and in the end I walked with a 200 dollar fine and court fees. Mr. Goodman brought in a judge from out of town and we felt that the judge's decision was very fair, I now will face no jail time, and no further loss of license. Mr. Goodman made me feel welcome in his office, he is easy to communicate with, and professional. He is going to be more expensive that other lawyers, but even then, you will still get MORE than you paid for. If you are lucky enough to get him to take your case, I would highly recommend you retain him, no questions asked.
