THE BEST

Mrs. Goodwin is the best lawyer around, she had 3 of my felony charges all reduced to just 2 very minor misdemeanors, as well as getting a separate drug case completely dismissed! I recommend her to anybody having legal trouble she has a great reputation in the courtroom and is just out right tough !... I thank god I chose her originally and will never use another attorney !!

Excellent Criminal Attorney

Mrs. Goodwin is an excellent attorney. I had previously hired another atty. to handle a criminal case, who wanted to plea bargain for something that I was not guilty of. I had a consult with Mrs. Goodwin and retained her the same day. She has extensive knowledge of NC Law and gives 110% to her client...s!! I would recommend her to anyone who needs someone trust worthy and honest!

Clear and concise consultation on how to contest traffic tickets

Although Anna predominantly handles criminal cases, she was able to guide me in the right direction on how to contest a speeding ticket I received. She's very clear, and straight to the point when providing consultation.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I met Anna Goodwin nearly 10 years ago when she was hired by our elected district attorney as an ADA. I have negotiated cases with her and I have tried cases against her. She has taken the courtroom experience and the negotiation skills that she acquired in the DA's office and has made a fine transition to private practice. Anna goes above and beyond her call of duty in advocating for her clients ans she has the ability to make things happen when time is of the essence."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
