Excellent attorney
Trey helped us through a terrible construction lawsuit. He is thorough and competent, he handles trial very well and is a truly impressive litigator. Wouldn’t recommend anyone else.

Compassionate Professionalism
Mr Goodwin very clearly explained the probate process to me in the beginning. From there to the end, his associates walked me through every step with compassion and professionalism, always keeping me informed and seeking to make the experience as convenient for me as possible. I would not hesitate to refer his services to anyone.

Hard working with great attention to detail
Throughout a long and difficult case, Trey remained focused and gave me excellent advice. He did a great job of getting us ready for trial and was terrific in the courtroom. He out-lawyered two excellent attorneys who worked for the opposing side. I continue to call him for advice on various matters and he is always responsive.

Excellent Law Firm with an Excellent Attorney
I was referred to this Law Firm by another local well know Law Firm. I consulted with and hired this Law Firm and Attorney. I found myself needing representation in a Probate case in dealing with the sale of a house and land that was owned by 3 family members. My case involves a one third owner , another surviving heir and a missing heir that is presumed dead at this point. The Mr. Goodwin P.A. and his entire staff have been friendly and very easy to work with. I have no complaints or regrets in hiring and working with this Law Firm and Attorney. I will admit that I don't usually like dealing with Law Firms or Attorneys. Dealing with Law Firms, Attorneys, and Lawsuits in general are not usually an enjoyable experience for most people to say the least. I have nothing negative to say about my experience. Everything has been totally positive!
