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.
