Highly recommended attorney

I have to give thanks to Donna, because of her knowledge, straight forward approach, and compassion my husband and I were able to gain full custody of my stepdaughter. She truly cares about her clients and wants what is best for the families. Donna has been understanding in the times we could not pay... and worked with us. I highly recommend her, if you are looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable and compassionate Donna is it.

Awesome Attorney

I was a client of Donna Goldman. She is a very knowledgeable, caring, sensitive and straight forward attorney. She helped me through my divorce proceeding. Not only was she an attorney she was more like my attorney, friend and counselor. However my husband and I decided to reconcile and give it anoth...er shot. But you can best believe it wasn’t because she did anything wrong. We both decided to work it out and give it a fair shot. We analyzed and thought about our 20yrs and wanted to make it work. If you need an attorney; Donna is your person. Very accurate, fast turn over with paperwork, good with finding your spouse hidden money and the list goes on. I love this woman. If I ever needed an attorney I will keep her on speed dial. Thank you Donna for all you’ve done. And thank you for hearing my cries and not even charging for those xtra moments.

Finest Family Attorney

I came to Donna Goldman in a rough custody time sharing, with my child's abusive neglecting mother. She was able to help me sustain my child under my primary supervision and time sharing. More than just a legal representative for me and my child! Her knowledge, experience, and careing character has p...ut the law by our side. We truly appreciate and love Donna and Sharon. They both have gone to great lengths in support when we needed it most. I will always recommend Donna Goodman!

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2007.

Public Reprimand issued in FL, 2007

updated on 05/05/2016

Public reprimand means the attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar warns the lawyer in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior. Details of the infraction are made part of the public record.

Donna’s comment:

“This complaint was NOT made by my client but by her former husband, I had alleged that he owed a substantial monies to my client because he was not honest with her and the court before she retained me). My client did not agree with this complaint. The complaint involved a technical accounting error where no monies were lost at all. The complaint did not involve my legal skills.”
