Posted by Katrina | June 03, 2014 | Child Custody

Exceptional attorney

Prompt, professional, knowledgeable, respectable attorney. Performed services with integrity. I had peace of mind during my child custody modification process. She answered all questions and addressed concerns I had in a timely manner. She took time to explain all the legal jargon in a manner i co...uld understand. I felt confident in her abilities, and was pleased with her legal knowledge. I would highly recommend Ms Goodson for any divorce, child custody, or any other family law matter.

Thorough, Responsive, and Detailed

I was looking for a strong, female lawyer and I was referred to Rachel. I was very happy with her knowledge of case law and to situations similar to mine. Every question I posed to Rachel was answered in a logical way with words I understood. Her explanations of sometimes complicated legal rules were... very clear to me and her summaries of my "side" of the situation were spot on. She was able to capture not only facts but emotions related to the circumstances as well. I was very pleased when she noticed details in the opposing side's responses and in the law that were pertinant to forming a strong argument for my case. I felt I was kept up to date.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
