Andrew Goodman is Your Man!

Andrew Goodman is a man of integrity, wisdom, and results. I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you have to file for bankruptcy, he is your man. During a major health crisis, I reluctantly was forced to file. Mr. Goodman in his expertise made the process clear, easy and efficient. In my fragile a...nd weakened state, he was able to communicate with power, strength, compassion, and support. I moved through the process rapidly, easily and successfully. I will be forever grateful.

Andy Goodman is the best

I have known Andy as a friend and professional resource for almost 20 years. We originally met at an alumni function and quickly evolved our friendship into one of mutual trust. I have referred Andy to any and every person I hear mention bankruptcy, severe financial strain, collections, foreclosure..., etc. As a former mortgage professional (26 years), I encountered the aforesaid people often, particularly during the mortgage crisis. Andy never disappointed the folks I referred to him. First and foremost, Andy is compassionate and honest. During his interview process, he often talked my referrals out of bankruptcy and proposed alternatives that saved their credit...and self-esteem. When there were no other options, Andy helped my referrals through the bankruptcy process with ease and understanding. I cannot recommend Andy any more highly. He is a terrific attorney and person.

We Highly Recommend Andrew Goodman!

Mr. Andrew Goodman (Andy) represents our Family Trust that is the largest Secured Creditor in a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Case of a business we previously owned. Andy has been very patient in working with my wife and me since we had no prior experience in litigation, especially the rather involved speci...alty of Bankruptcy Litigation. Andy always promptly returns our telephone calls and emails. We feel that we receive the same excellent service and representation as Andy’s large Corporate Clients. Prior to each hearing we were completely informed by Andy as to how the Court Hearings would be conducted and possible court rulings. Attending the many hearings in this case we were able to observe the respect shown to Mr. Goodman by the other attorneys who represented the bank that is also a Secured Creditor, the attorneys representing the Landlords of the shopping center where the Debtor is a tenant as well as the Federal Bankruptcy Court Judge. We are very fortunate to have been referred to Andy by our longtime business attorney and would feel confident in recommending Andrew Goodman to any prospective clients as he is an attorney whose personal integrity, high quality and well written briefs, court filings and well prepared personal court appearances representing us, stand out as SUPERIOR representation.

"I strongly endorse Andy Goodman. Andy is as well respected as a bankruptcy attorney could be in the legal community. Judges, adversaries and his clients understand that he is a complete lawyer who can dominate the courtroom and who can handle the largest, most sophisticated matter to successful conclusion. Andy is also well versed in handling smaller matters and his direct approach and follow through yields amazing results. I cannot more highly recommend Andy to anyone involved in a debt dispute or bankruptcy."
