BEST ATTORNEY I'VE SERIOUSLY EVER HAD!!!

Robert is an outstanding attorney. He was extremely attentive and always had my best interest in mind. I've literally never had a lawyer represent me the way Robert did. Unfortunately, I've had to hire one too many attorneys through out my life. I have a terrible record and I was looking at a lot... of jail time and possibly jail time. I was super scared and had a very intimidating judge. But, I truly could not have asked for a better outcome. Robert has impeccable communication skills and always went above and beyond. I highly, highly recommend him.

Help getting a clean slate

Robert Goldman was a great attorney. He walked me through the process as many times as I asked and continually gave me pep talks leading up to, and including, right before my hearing. He told me “no matter what happens, this moment is a celebration.” And he was right. This was an extremely impor...tant event for me as I cannot move forward with my career without the clean slate. He worked hard, paid attention to detail, and kept in close communication, even later in the evening as we were in different time zones. We walked out of that courtroom with big smiles and I was grateful he was by my side because I was to anxious and emotional to find my words during the hearing. Thank you for helping me open new doors, Robert! Have already recommended him to multiple people!

Thank you

Robert was absolutely outstanding. I was always informed of what to expect rather good or bad, stayed in necessary contact whenever I had a concern, and was always on top of staying very organized. Open, honest, and genuine Robert was the most excellent lawyer and my family was overjoyed with his exp...ertise. I would highly recommend Robert!

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."

  • 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.
