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 !!
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 clients!! I would recommend her to anyone who needs someone trust worthy and honest!
Former Assistant District Attorney, total 9 years in Criminal law - handle all offenses from minor traffic infractions to major felonies (DWI, Habitual Felon, Drug Cases, Assaults, etc).

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.

Awsome!!!!
Ms.Goodwin is the best attorney I have ever dealt with. She and her receptionist, Patty, made me feel very comfortable, they were always there, and willing to help. In court, she is confident, very respectful, classy, but tough. Ms. Goodwin went over everything thoroughly, and ultimately won my case. I would, and have, recommended her to everyone I know. Simply AWSOME!
Thanks so much. Mary

"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."
