Very passionate about winning

I was looking at a couple serous charges, I had been talking with someone who had hired Peter Goodall and had nothing but good to say about him. I ended up hiring Peter Goodall to defend me and was extremely pleased with the outcome.. I would recommend Peter for anyone who wants an attorney that is a...ggressive and will work hard for 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.
