A blessing manifested.

I truly don't know where to begin, this case for me was literally all or nothing. I recently became a father of two beautiful daughters, and I also have a beautiful, intelligent and intuitive wife so the stakes couldn't have been higher. From the moment I met Robert I immediately saw the ambition and... the drive as well as the know how to approach situations as severe as mine, so it was a no brainer. Robert is everything that you would expect from a lawyer of his caliber and MORE, his communication as well as his genuine care for his craft and his clients speaks volumes to say the very least. This entire process was absolutely stressful and world shattering for me, and Robert was there every step of the way to keep me informed on all progress in turn giving me a great deal of comfort leading up to sentencing. I am a man of true unwavering faith and my wife and I prayed day in and day out for a blessing and it came. I had to do my part on my end and it wasn't the easiest considering the gravity of the situation but in the end our prayer was answered, and the fact that the lord used Robert as a vessel to answer our prayer should tell you who Robert Goldman is!!! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication Robert this couldn't have been done without you!!!!!!!

I Was Granted a Restricted Driver's License on the Spot!

Hiring Attorney Robert Goldman was the best thing I could've done for my license restoration case. He was extremely personable, professional, and he explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. He was patient when answering my questions, easily accessible, and extremely knowledgable. I ...went into my restoration hearing confident, prepared, and optimistic. The hearing officer complimented Mr. Goldman and me several times during the hearing on how prepared and organized we were. She was so impressed, in fact, that she granted me restricted license privileges on the spot! After nine years, I now have the privilege to drive again. I could not have done this without the exceptional services of my attorney, Robert Goldman. I am eternally grateful!

Driver Reassessment

Robert was excellent very professional and over prepared (if there’s such a thing) for my driver reassessment hearing. He was always Available to speak with and returned my calls promptly. I would I definitely recommend him to anyone especially my friends if ever in need of a lawyer in the future.

Highly Recommend

It was an absolute honor to work with Mr. Goldman during my expungement process. Mr. Goldman was extremely thorough from start to finish, he kept me constantly updated as to where we were in the process and what to expect next. He is a great communicator and was surprisingly easy to access, always a...nswering phone call and responding to emails in a very timely manner. He exceeded my expectations in preparation for my hearing which ended with a positive result. He is a great mix of a consummate professional and a friendly, personal attorney. I can’t recommend Mr. Goldman enough and would happily pass on his information to anyone I know that is in need of representation.

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."
