Allow me to introduce myself. I am Ernest Goodman, a New York-licensed attorney and former UCLA Extension instructor, focusing on Immigration Law, Federal Appeals, and Constitutional Litigation.
My practice includes immigration representation nationwide and federal appellate litigation before the United States Courts of Appeals, including the Ninth and Second Circuits.
My federal appellate practice encompasses immigration petitions for review, civil rights and constitutional appeals, and federal civil litigation. I have personally presented oral argument before a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in Pasadena, California.
I represent clients in federal immigration matters throughout all 50 states and handle federal appellate proceedings in courts where I am admitted or otherwise authorized to practice.
