The best criminal attorney in the area!

I needed an attorney because I was charged with Reckless after my car slipped into a ditch. Scott Goodman gave my case his full attention. Scott was very patient and had excellent communication skills. He provided the worst and best scenarios. Scott was warm, kind, and sensitive to my needs. I knew I... had the best possible representation. I was very happy with the result.

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.

Highly Recommend

I can promise you that Scott is a genius. Ask other attorneys about him. That’s what you will hear. Hire him and trust him. And trust me that you will get the best outcome possible for your case. My son’s case was a difficult one with serious charges. Scott was able to negotiate a plea dea...l that other attorneys told me was impossible. Hire Scott if you want the best, the brightest and the truth about what you are facing and how he can help you. No need to call other attorneys for second opinions. Trust this man. He delivers.

Great Lawyer

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.

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.
