Top notch attorney whom I can highly recommend without reservation

Attorney Robert Goldson represented me in a long-term disability case against a very large insurance company. He won that case for me and now represents me in my Social Security disability case. I find him to be very accessible, responsive and empathetic to my needs as his client. He is well organise...d, intelligent, and a consummate professional in all of our interactions yet he is has a refreshing down to earth, approachable way of keeping me well informed and very much involved in the decision making that occurs within a case. I always feel like I am "in the loop." Robert Goldson comes across as extremely honest and forthcoming. I will certainly recommend him to others in the future. As lawyers go, he is a stand out, one of a kind, top notch, right fighting hero for the underdogs who need him most. God bless him.

Rob Goldson brought my sisters' murderer to justice

I would recommend Mr. Goldson to anyone that needs an honest, aggressive and ehtical lawyer. Mr, Goldson believed in our case and compiled enough evidence to convince the procecutor to pursue the murderer of my sister. Whithout Rob my sisters' murder would have gone unpunished. My family is eterna...lly grateful for the expertise and great legal ability shown by Rob Goldson. He is was all lawyers should aspire to be, honest, compassionate and tenacious.
