Wonderful - Highly recommend!

I am so impressed by Nancy Goodman and her practice. She is great to communicate with and knows all the right questions to ask. We came to her for a will rewrite as well as many questions about a special needs trust. Nancy was able to answer all of them all by helping us feel comfortable and at ea...se. I highly recommend working with Nancy.

Excellent service

We retained Nancy Goodman to prepare a full set of estate planning documents (will, HIPPA, advance directive, power of attorney). She helped us think through some tricky issues, devising practical solutions. We were impressed by her knowledge of recent changes to the law, as well as her thoroughness,... professionalism, and responsiveness. We were very pleased and recommend her highly.

Great for small business

My parents have had a family business for many years that they were hoping to pass down to myself and my siblings. Nancy spent lots of time with me and my family to update the business and protect it for years to come. She explained every step of the new contracts and agreements we would need and d...etermined what paperwork to complete. She was incredibly patient, returned every call, and spent time answering our numerous questions. I would highly recommend Nancy to anyone with a small business.

Excellent from start to finish

Nancy took the time to work with me on getting a family plan together after the death of a loved one. She was patient and responsive with all my questions, and did everything I requested in a thorough and timely way. Could not ask for a better lawyer, would refer her to anyone looking for help in the... confusing world of estate planning/management.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I met Nancy through Estate Planning functions with the State Bar and we became fast friends. Her expertise and willingness to share it has evolved the relationship to include mentor and primary referral source for matters outside my scope. She would be my attorney of choice, not only for myself, but for my family and closest friends. I endorse Nancy for all areas she practices and not just the one selection allowed above."
