The best human being you could ever have represent you.

Dear Robert, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for everything you’ve done for me. When I was facing financial hardship and couldn’t afford the retainer, you went above and beyond, offering a flexible payment plan that gave me hope when I felt overwhelmed. Not only that,... but your articulate communication and thorough attention to detail were truly remarkable. You took the time to explain every step, ensuring I never felt lost. Your punctuality and commitment to my case gave me such peace of mind, and I always knew I was in such capable hands reassuring me that everything will be all right. Thank you again for your kindness, your professionalism, and the incredible care you gave me. I’m so grateful to have had you by my side. And words cannot express how grateful I am to have you in my life. Warmest regards, Pamela F. De Jesus

The Real Deal

Robert Goldman is the real deal. Professional, knowledgeable, and extremely sharp. During a very stressful situation, he handled everything with confidence and skill and made sure I understood what was happening every step of the way. It was clear from the start that he had a strong strategy and knew... exactly what he was doing. If you need a criminal defense attorney, he’s the guy you want in your corner.

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.

professional, attenuative, personable, thoughtful, caring, educative.

although I met Robert due unfortunate circumstances, I am beyond pleased with the service he provided. From day one starting with my consultation to hiring him for my legal issue to the end of my legal issue, he has brought a sense of relief and comfortability that can't be expressed enough. Robert t...ook the time to not only listen but to educate me on so many areas of my case that I have more knowledge regarding criminal law that I never thought I would. He is VERY personable and EXTREMELY responsive when it comes to communicating. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Robert again if I am ever in need of the service he provides, and I would refer him to anyone I know without hesitation. For me it's a bittersweet moment that I won't be in contact with him since the closing of my case but if I were to ever see him again, I wouldn't think twice about shaking his hand and taking some time to catch up and see how life is going!

OWI 2 offense

I genuinely appreciate every effort Mr. Robert made for me during my case. Although I had already accepted a plea, I believe hiring him at that point was the right decision for me. He helped me understand the differences between the law and taking responsibility for my actions. In the long run, he wo...rked diligently to resolve the situation, and I highly recommend him. He is very negotiable and understanding.

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."
