Asleep At The Wheel
I never thought I would EVER be in a position that would land me in jail. NOT EVER. I could go on and on about my personal situation that brought me to know Bryan, but that is not why I am here. I am here to stress how important it is to have an attorney who is 1st, willing to listen to you, 2nd, ...

Best Lawyer in Sioux City, IA without a doubt!
About two years ago or so I was pulled over for a DUI. I was scared, anxious, and everything else under the sun. I called a friend of mine whom, a year previous, had also gotten himself into the same pickle. I asked him who he had went with and if he was good and he replied with, " I wouldn't have we...

Helped make a difficult situation easy
Bryan represented me on a DUI 1st charge. I started this process with a different attorney, and had a bad experience so I hired Bryan to take over. Bryan was recommended by a close friend. Bryan is organized, knowledgeable, trust-worthy, and a real go-getter. Even more so, he is AVAILABLE and follo...
Bryan Richard Goodman's Lawyer Endorsements
"Attorney Goodman and I worked together for several years and I can attest that he is one of the smartest and hardest working attorneys you can find. He is easily the best DUI/OWI attorney in Iowa and is always looking for ways to learn more and better his practice. Attorney Goodman's integrity, preparation, and intelligence cannot be matched. I highly recommend and endorse his practice."
"I first met Bryan when he came to a basic DataMaster DMT training session I conducted in Des Moines in April 2017. After the class, he came to the Operator’s Training Class I conducted a month later in Los Angeles, California. It was that level of desire for knowledge to better represent his clients that I found inspiring. Bryan and I have worked together on several cases in Iowa. I don’t know of an attorney in Iowa who has more training on the science and evidence in a DUI case than Bryan. He is masterful in presenting that evidence to the judge and jury. Many people claim to practice DUI Defense. Not many have taken the time and spent the money to actually learn and know what the state’s evidence really means. If you or a loved one don’t contact Bryan when facing a DUI in the State of Iowa, you’re not leveling the playing field again the government."
"I met Bryan at a multi-day specialized DUI defense training course. His participation in this and other additional DUI focused training has demonstrated a superior commitment to Justice for his clients by actively, and consistently, seeking and participating in extensive specialized training in the area of DUI/DWI detection and defense placing him in the top percentile of attorneys capable of fighting and debunking the science. I highly recommend this attorney."
"When a prosecutor hears that Goodman is on the case, she double-checks the case to be sure that all the 't's are crossed, and that all the 'i's are dotted. That is because if there is anything to argue, Goodman will find it."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Bryan and I had a case together. It was evident he worked hard to get the best result for his client, and was a pleasure to work with throughout the proceedings."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I have worked with Bryan on numerous cases, both as co-counsel and just behind the scenes. He is an excellent attorney who does not shy away from taking cases to trial and is an incredible advocate for his clients both in and out of court."
"Had the pleasure of meeting Bryan in Los Angeles for a seminar on the DATA MASTER DMT Breath testing machine. Besides seeing his passion to know more about the machine that is used and he flying all the way from IA to attend this seminar and being the only person from IA there, I learned a lot about his passion of protecting his clients and defending them. I endorse this lawyer."
"I had the pleasure of meeting Bryan at an SFST certification course where he was one of the instructors. He is on the cutting edge of fighting DUI cases. Without reservation, I endorse him for anyone looking for a criminal defense or DUI lawyer."
"I had the good fortune of meeting Bryan through advanced DUI/DWI training. Bryan is a tireless defender for his clients, and I frequently consult with him on issues relating to my cases. Without a doubt, he is my go-to contact for DWI issues in Iowa."
"Bryan is a skilled criminal defense attorney. He works tirelessly for his clients and ensures their rights are protected in all stages of a criminal case."
"Bryan is a super ambitious DUI attorney. I have had the pleasure of spending more than one weekend seminar with him. His knowledg in the DUI field is absolutely exceptional. Not only is he a superb attorney, he is also a great friend. I have no doubt that he represents his clients zealously. I endorse this lawyer."
"Bryan has distinguished himself as a real leader in the area of DUI defense. Very few people have the training he does; in fact, I contact him regularly to get his feedback on cases I have. Thanks Bryan, for all your help!"
