Jacqueline kept my son from going to prison. Instead he will now be going into a program that can help him. She was very quick to respond and gave lots of ways to get in touch with her.She was there each time we went to court and stayed the entire time answering as many questions as needed. She also ...seemed to be well respected by other attorneys. I would most definitely recommend her.

I have used Ms. Goodman and sent friends to her. She is one of the best lawyers in Orange County if not the whole state of California. But don't take my word for it. Please -- unless she has changed her ways -- sign up for the free initial consultation. After that she is not a cheap lawyer. I sug...gest that when looking for a criminal defense lawyer that you not look for a "cheap" lawyer. Her staff is wonderful. Ms. Goodman is wonderful. You know you have the best lawyer when you see her in court or just walking down the hall in a courthouse and see how the other lawyers all speak to her and know her and ask her advice. She is the best!

I retained Ms. Goodman Rubio to defend my son who had been accused of a serious crime. She met with the entire family one-on-one and was very attentive while she was also taking notes. She advised me of what my son was potentially facing and how she projected the outcome. When I paid for her retaine...r she told me that it was no longer my job as a parent to worry. She said that it was now her job to worry and that I should concentrate on taking care of my family as usual. What a relief it was to Jackie in my sons' corner. Because of attorney client privilege, I was not privvy to the details of my sons case, but I am very happy with the outcome. If you hire Jacqueline Goodman Rubio, you can rest assured that you will have a dedicated advocate in your corner.

When going through legal issues I faced a Principal -Agent problem with a lawyer named Jacqueline Goodman. I was pregnant and paid her over thousands of dollars to get me off probation in 2014, only to find out a couple months later Prop47 would pass. I filed for Prop 47 with a public defender and wa...s off probation within weeks. I could not believe how someone so prestigious would find a personal gain from my unawareness to propositions, such as Prop47. Being in law, Jacqueline Goodman was aware of this new proposition that was about to pass, yet she still led me to believe by paying thousands right now; she could and would, help me. Being a single mother during this situation really made me sick to my stomach that she could use me for her own personal gain since I was young and did not know otherwise. Upon talking to public defender, he got me a court date a month out, got case dismissed with prop 47 and guess how much I paid? Not a dime. Although this case was years ago, I was doing an college essay on how certain careers such as construction or mechanic relies heavy on the knowledges of the mechanic (agent) whereas he can set any price for what's wrong with your car and tell you (principle)what your best option is. This leads to walking out of mechanic store spending twice as much because the mechanic told you more things you NEED to fix. Do we question the mechanic? Most of the time we don't, because we assume that he is looking out for our best interest and not telling us we need more work done just so he can profit more. Sometimes in these situations we don't know the difference and genuinely rely on the professional knowledge of the "expert". However this is an example of someone using there "expertise" for personal gain on individuals who TRUST them. After this happened I thought about writing a review but decided to just let that bad energy and experience pass. As I mentioned above, I was doing a discussion on Principle-Agent Problems for my Econ class where we have to discuss how we have personally experienced a Principle-Agent problem... nothing came faster to mind then the name Jaqueline Goodman. So years later, here is the truth and here is my review. ***Note: I have never give one star before...but if I could give Jaqueline Goodman Zero stars, I wouldn't hesitate.
