I have been an attorney for approximately 24 years. I was first licensed to practice in Alabama in 1990. In 2012, I received my license to practice in Arkansas. My practice is general in nature, meaning that I work for clients in the fields of domestic relations, criminal defense, dependency/neglect, juvenile delinquency, civil litigation (personal injury, medical malpractice, employment law, civil rights matters), Probate Matters and Appellate work.
My relocation to Arkansas does not mean that I have abandoned my business in Alabama. Working with WMDR (the law firm of Wallace, Martin, Duke and Russell, PLLC), I have the flexibility to work between states.

This woman is amazing
I highly recommend Val to ANYONE for ANYTHING!!! She is such an amazing attorney and woman. She gives reassurance and guidance, communicates well, reaches out, and does everything in her power to help. I went through a custody battle with her and after almost 2.5 years I walked out of that courtroom ...

Valerie is a great communicator! That's the most important part when you're going through a divorce! My divorce was handled within a timely manner, and if Valerie didnt' contact me by phone, she reached out via email.

Superb Divorce Attorney in Little Rock, Arkansas
This review is for Attorney Valerie L. Goudie. I retained her for an Uncontested Divorce case. Attorney Goudie provided exemplary service and a seamless process. During our consultation she explained the process clearly, answered my questions, and immediately put me at ease regarding my case. She's v...

Good lawyer to have on your side
Ms. Goudie has been my family's attorney for many years. She has never failed to be there when we needed her, and her work is exemplary. She ALWAYS calls us back when we leave messages; if it takes longer than a few days, she is quick to apologize, but focuses all her attention on us whether we are i...

What happen with my dad's case?
Attorney Goudie handled a case for my deceased father, I have made at least seven (7) attempts to reach Attorney Goudie to find out about the pending case. I must say her secretary was very nice and took several messages but the Attorney has not kept me informed, nor has she responded to questions ...
I represented this gentleman's father. After my client's death, I was contacted by this man's brother to continue to attempt to collect a judgment I was able to win on his father's behalf. The judgment has been uncollectable. After I researched certain issues requested by the family, I contacted this man's brother and informed him there was nothing further that could be done. I believed this information would be shared among the siblings.
"Valerie is an attorney that always takes a personal interest in every case she takes on. You will feel like she is defending a member of her own family as she fights for your rights against often very difficult opponents. She is a great attorney who I would recommend to my own family."
