Robert provided great communication and amazing value for my case!

I hired Robert to expunge a very old and annoying misdemeanor off my record. From the onset his communication and responsiveness was stellar! It was clear he had a lot of experience in this area, and a very solid process that saved me time and money. After the case was closed and he won the expungeme...nt for me, he went above and beyond. I needed additional documents, and he was able to acquire them from the appropriate sources at no additional cost. Robert is one of the best lawyers I have ever worked with!

Outstanding Job Representing Me!

I had an excellent experience working with my attorney. From the very beginning, he walked me through the entire process step by step and made sure I understood what to expect. I had no prior experience with the legal system and felt overwhelmed at first, but he took the time to answer all of my ques...tions and explain everything clearly. He was professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about getting the best possible outcome for me. Thanks to his knowledge and guidance, I was able to secure a very favorable result. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs someone knowledgeable, patient, and committed to their clients.

The Best Driver License Restoration Lawyer

I hired Robert Goldman to help me regain my driver’s license after having two DUIs, which required representation before the Administrative Hearing Department. Having an attorney for this process truly makes a difference, and choosing Robert was the best decision I could have made. I worked with h...im for over a year, and throughout that time he was consistently responsive, professional, and supportive. Robert always returned my calls and emails promptly, and he even texted me when I had questions, which made the process feel much less stressful. While we were fighting for my license, I unfortunately received another ticket, and Robert stepped in and represented me in court without hesitation. Before my Zoom hearing, he was incredibly patient and kind—he took the time to explain everything and helped me feel calm and prepared. During the hearing, Robert went above and beyond. He did an outstanding job advocating for me, and thanks to his dedication and expertise, I was granted a restricted license. I am beyond grateful for his hard work and commitment to my case. In another year and a half, I will absolutely be honored to have Robert represent me again when I apply for my full license. I highly recommend Robert Goldman to anyone needing a knowledgeable, compassionate, and dependable attorney.

Top Notch Lawyers in Michigan

I really enjoyed my time with Robert. I talked to a Chaplin and he heard some of my story and told me to find a really good lawyer and I immediately found Mr Goldman and he was tremendous at every hearing fighting for me and what were my rights. Normally the court is very slow in their process, but w...ith Mr Goldmans wisdom and intellect he recommended a top notch psychosexual therapist who is used over 50 plus court rooms and judges. We ended completing the court case at least 2-5 years sooner with Mr. Goldman than any other lawyer. I even go on to say if we would had a different judge we might of completed the court process year and half to two years sooner then we did because of the expertise, tenacity and diligence of Mr. Robert Goldman. He is a top notch Lawyer and I would recommend him above any other lawyer anytime out of the week. He also specializes in criminal court, but after my case he now can add family court and CPS cases as his speciality now too!

5 Star recommendation

I received exceptional legal representation and would highly recommend this counsel to anyone in need of strong, reliable support. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process — I was kept fully informed at every stage and always felt comfortable and confident as we prepared for court. I...n the end, we achieved the outcome we were hoping for. Thank you for your outstanding work and dedication.

Relationship: Co-worker

"Criminal defense attorneys regularly talk about how they try not to take things personally. If I were ever in a situation where I needed counsel, I would want my lawyer to take my case very personally. That is what a client gets when working with Robert Goldman. Robert cares for his clients and fights for them like an old-school defense attorney. He is relentless, intelligent, fearless, and will do whatever it takes to achieve the best possible outcome for his clients. It is without hesitation that I give my categorical endorsement to Robert as one of Michigan’s top criminal defense lawyers."
