Great lawyer!!!

After I was made aware of an extremely negative report on my credit, I contacted attorney, John Goolsby. I explained my entire situation, I provided all the information that he required of me. He was very informative of the process and helped me to understand all of it. In the end, I won my case and ...I am extremely happy and I highly recommend him. Thank you again, John!

Very helpful and thorough!!

I had an issue with a (unfair) debt collector and, even though it was quite late in the evening and I was not a current client, John patiently consulted with me for well over an hour on the various options and various laws that were applicable to my case — would definitely recommend!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
