Excellent Service

Staff were courteous and helpful. Mr. Goff was knowledgeable, very prompt when calling back, and explained things in layman’s terms. Although we paid a flat fee for the service we needed, he was generous with his time. I highly recommend this firm.

Great experience

Add Goff is legit! He took care of my case regarding a super speeder ticket that I received in Louisiana. I live in Georgia and did not have to make a visit back Louisiana for court, he took care of it all himself.

Attorney Goff had such grace and compassion for me during a very difficult time I faced. He told me what I needed to do during one of the most emotional moments in my life. Add, Thank you for being and Man of God and a total professional. I can see why you are successful, it is your love of people.... Thank you!

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.
