Mr. Goodwin assisted me with an issue with my medical license. With Mr. Goodwins help my situation was totally dropped. He helped from the very beginning of this situation to the closure of the case. I felt the entire time that I was being advised by absolutely the best, and the result proved that. T...hank you Jim you were amazing.

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.
