Best in the business

Mr. Goode has been my attorney for a number of years now. He has a unique ability to build rapport with any states attorney he comes across and he is on a personal friend basis with many judges around Chicagoland. If you need a charismatic lawyer to paint you in the best light possible in order to wi...n your case and reduce or eliminate legal penalties, then looked no further. I consider him part of my family and without him, my young daughter would've had much less time with her father. This man wins cases, period. Anything from criminal defense, to medical malpractice and otherwise, he's a jack of all skills. I owe this man much more than I will ever be able to repay. You will not regret your decision to hire him for any and all legal needs. Thanks Mike!

Saved the Day!

Mr. Goode was an angel on my shoulders during my case. I would be recommending him to everyone who needs one of the best and most generous lawyers around. Its truly rare to find an honest and understanding lawyer but Mr. Goode changed my perspective of that. Mr. Goode is an outstanding lawyer and I w...ould like to say Thank You and God Bless.

Beware! Con-artist lawyer!

Beware of Mr. Goode and his retainer agreements! Promises a lot and gets absolutely nothing done. Does not return phone calls or emails. Paid Mr. Goode a flat rate retainer of $150,000.00 and did not do absolutely nothing. When Mr. Goode does return phone calls it’s very short and ends with “will cal...l you right back” but never does. If you need a reputable and honest defense attorney I would highly recommend Monico & Spevack, which are the best in the business.

Best Criminal and Trial Attorney

I humbly like to express my feelings about an attorney Mr. Michael C. Goode who helped me in a major federal lawsuit. I was indicted in a major mortgage fraud case in Chicago back in 2013. Mr. Goode represented me as my defense attorney. Right from the beginning, Mr. Goode figured out my involvement ...in the scheme and told me if we lose, I'm looking at 87 months of jail time, but I will try my best to reduce it to minimal. He researched and researched the entire case and fought it for 7.5 years. During these 7.5 years, he kept me away from the courtroom with the exception of 3 times. Finally, the sentencing day came. This was the first time I saw Mike in action. In a nutshell, the way he presented my side of the story in front of the federal judge, superseded all the arguments made by the government's attorney. Finally, a final verdict time came. we all stood up and the honorable judge gave his decision. " I just became a totally free man!!!" Not even a probation period !!! Neither this portal has enough space nor I have words to express my feelings and gratitude for Mr. Goode. My entire family is indebted to Mr. Goode due to his selfless efforts, knowledge, experience, kindness, and generosity that helped me gain back my self-esteem and allowed me to walk in society again with a raised head. If anyone is in any situation that requires a criminal defense, Michael Charles Goode is your best bet for a "Second Chance".

Experience

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 1994.

Further suspension stayed issued in IL, 1994

updated on 08/29/2013

Further suspension stayed means the attorney has been suspended, but that the suspension is placed on hold (and ultimately removed) if the attorney complies with certain requirements. Typically the requirements are included in a probation term the lawyer has been given at the same time.

Partially Stayed Suspension issued in IL, 1994

updated on 05/19/2022

Suspension followed by probation issued in IL, 1994

updated on 04/16/2013

This type of suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. When the attorney returns to practice the State monitors the his or her activities for a period of time.

Censure issued in IL, 1989

updated on 03/14/2010

Censure means the attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
