You wont regret hiring Robert!

We had sought out several reccomended attorneys to take on the delicate case, and they all tried but said they couldn't help us win the case. Upon coming across NotAfraidToWin we found hope that someone would fight for us as much us. Robert Goldman was the perfect fit. He is kind, honest, genial, t...rustworthy, very thorough, and he kept open communication all throughout the process, even after hours. There was a good genuine connection and trust was easily built (Even though we had become skeptical after having no luck with other attempted lawyers) Robert easily helped with answering every concern and question we had, allowing us to be at ease because we knew we finally hired the right/best attorney possible. Robert showed that he really cares about his clients. He made the stressful process go so smoothly, he was by our side through every twist and bump and streamlined the process, combating any curveball and ultimately led to our success. Robert worked with us on our financial constraints and allowed a payment plan. I would hire him again in a heartbeat for any further cases. No regrets, 6 out of 5 stars. Highly recommend.

Professional Fast Resolution of Our Case

We hired Robert Goldman when a family member was arrested. It was a very scary and upsetting event for our family, and we were given very little information from the police. We had not been referred and simply found Mr. Goldman online. He responded promptly, instructed us thoroughly on all proceed...ings and what we could expect. He communicated often and in detail with both our family and the family member facing charges. He took time to meet with us immediately, get to know us, and understand there were many facts and circumstances that the police were not aware of. Based on the information we provided, he quickly put together a strong defense and advised us of his plan and how we would move forward. He successfully negotiated a fair and equitable resolution with the prosecutor so that this bad situation could end after the first hearing with reduced charges, and the opportunity to have the charges removed from the record. We are very grateful. Robert was professional, friendly, and quick to action. He made our family member feel comfortable and protected. We would recommend him if you find yourself or someone you know in need of legal help.

GREAT WORK AND GREAT FIRM

To be brief and short. The Law firm we picked, called back right away, Informative, and persistent in getting the job done. I had some court issues to take care of and Mr Goldman minimized a lot of stress and any future shortcomings. Thank you Robert Goldman !!!

Excellent work on DUI Expungement case

Mr. Goldman handles a DUI Expungement case for me. He was available to me throughout the entire process and laid out how the entire process would work. It really took away a lot of my anxiety. The judge even said the package he prepared was one of the best he had ever seen. Very excellent work. The c...ase went better than I could have expected. I appreciate all the hard work Mr. Goldman put into my case. Thanks to Mr. Goldman I now have this situation in my life put behind me and I have a clean record to show for it.

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."
