OUTSTANDING

I hired Robert to be my attorney for a traffic ticket. He proved to be an outstanding attorney. He was extremely helpful, and I would recommend him to anyone who needs legal help. He was professional, courteous, and went out of his way to make sure my needs were met and heard. Mr. Goldman exceeded ...my expectations, and I am very grateful for his help in such a stressful situation. I would not hesitate to reach out to him again.

The Best Decision You Can Make

Robert Goldman is the best lawyer I could ever recommend someone that needs representation. My situation was very unique and complex, and Mr. Goldman walked me through every step of the process, and eased the anxiety I was having. He was incredibly responsive to text messages, was there to answer cal...ls on the weekend, and even offered to lower his retainer knowing that I had to also hire a divorce attorney. I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Goldman. He put an enormous amount of work in, some that did not even have to deal directly with what I hired him for (such as getting me in contact with other well-versed attorneys in different fields.) If you are going through anything criminally, or concerned you may be, I would not go with anyone but Mr. Goldman - it really is the best decision you can make.

A Great Lawyer

Robert provided exceptional legal support for my DUI case and also expertly handled my violation of probation. He was thorough, professional, and successfully guided me through both processes with his deep expertise. His dedication and knowledge made a significant difference. He's a genuine down to e...arth guy who undoubtedly has your best interests at heart. You can walk in court confidently with Rob by your side, one of if not the best Lawyer I've ever hired.

Look no further

I can't think of enough good things to say about Robert Goldman as an attorney, person and friend. From the very first conversation I had with him discussing my expungement, I knew that he was the right attorney . Robert was very personable but also demonstrated an ernest genuineness in his speach.... I sensed that he would fight for my case with all he had and that thought turned out to be more than true. He went above and beyond on multiple occasions, not only to return calls, put me at ease, but also find and cite case laws that helped my particular case. Beyond his excellent diligence, he also persuaded me to do things to help advance my case and represent me with and advocacy of excellence. In a time that we live in where things are so uncertain and truth and motives are so hidden and hard to find. Robert dispelled a lot of the negative notions that I've had toward lawyers prior to connecting with him. In addition, his leadership is most exemplified in his willingness to serve wholeheartedly on your case. As the title says look no further. Robert Goldman is by far the best attorney you could choose and I hope this helps others discover this great person I have gotten to know and trust.

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."
