Relationship: Worked together on matter
I wholeheartedly endorse Garth. I have sent several clients to him and each has come back telling me that Garth was very knowledgeable, kept them well informed about their case and followed through on everything related to their matters. One fear an attorney has when they refer someone to another attorney is that the person will come back with a complaint. I never worry about that with Garth.
Kevin Brennan, Family Attorney on Sep 16, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Garth is a very professional and experienced attorney. I have worked with him on difficult adversarial matters and have been able to reach amicable resolutions. I feel comfortable referring cases to him, and have done so on several occassions.
Jason Mayberry, Family Attorney on Sep 14, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
NOT ALL LAWYERS ARE CREATED EQUAL. Garth meets the high bar of excellence and sets a new standard well above. The greatest compliment one lawyer can give another is having the full confidence to refer one of their own clients to another attorney for a collateral legal issue. If I receive a phone call from one in need of a divorce, one in need of a custody alteration, or anything involving a family issue, I immediately refer them to Garth. Garth cares about his clients and it shows in both his outstanding results but also in the way he treats people. I refer my clients to Garth for their family law needs and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a family law attorney.
Christopher Ferguson, Family Attorney on Sep 14, 2012
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with and opposed Mr. Goodman on several cases. His approach and work are personal, thorough, timely and legally diligent. I would recommend him to a friend or family member without hesitation.
