The best Lawyer!

Attorney Sally is an excellent attorney and did an excellent professional job in taking care of my case from the beginning to the end, with the times of covid-19 the system has changed a bit and she achieved my hearing and closed my case from her office through a video call. She is not only knowledga...ble about the law, she has an excellent professional rapport with judges, clerks, and genuinely cares for her clients as people.

Wonderful

I would recommend Mrs. Goodman to anyone, she did a wonderful job defending my daughters case, she got her case completely dismissed.

Criminal defense at its best!

Have you ever wondered what the definition of a good, well-rounded attorney is? The answer is Sally Goodman! I've had the pleasure of dealing with Ms. Goodman for a few cases for one of my family members and I have to say, it has been a great experience. Not only did Ms. Goodman work diligently throu...gh the whole process but her experience with knowing the law helped us get the verdict we wanted (no-bill on all cases.) She is professional, she is thorough, but overall she cares about her clients. If I ever need a criminal defense attorney again, I will definitely hire Ms. Goodman!

She's just a great defense attorney, bottom line

Here are the facts : DWI above .15 or whatever the magic number is that they really come after you and possession of controlled substance. In our initial meeting, she told me she could get the possession charge dropped, sure enough she did! That is a felony charge btw. For my DWI, 9 month...s probation down from 21. $500 fine down from $1,000. Only inconvenience has been the breathalyzer on my vehicle for 2 years but it was a condition of bond. Judge said after 5 more months and no issues, I can have it removed. On top of all that I remember contacting an attorney ( i will not name ) who wanted double what Sally charged me! I dont ever wanna be in trouble again but if that day comes, my first call will be to Sally Goodman! And at the very least, ill know I have a person representing me that has a wealth of experience, a proven track record and is just genuinely a good human being! And thats something money cant buy and people cant fake! Mark

DWI-1st

Attorney Goodman is a professional when it comes to her business. She says what she means and she means what she says. Attorney Goodman was successful with my Driver's License Revocation Hearing & was successful reducing my probation to 15 months. She's very good...

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.
