The Law Office of Louis J. Goodman was the best decision we ever made. We found ourselves in need of an attorney and we thank God for bringing Mr Goodman in our path. His many years of experience benefited us greatly. He is the kind of attorney that explains everything and gives it to you straight. ...You can tell he is respected by other attorneys and judges and that give all his clients an advantage. His staff is very professional and responsive.

Mr. Louis Goodman took care of me from the first day we met for a consultation. I was involved in a misdemeanor case and I needed an attorney as my court date was approaching. I made a phone call to his office and got an appointment relatively quickly. When we met, Mr. Goodman took the time to listen... to my case and he was not judgement of my unfortunate circumstance. He then took the time to explain the the process. He guided me through the process and kept me updated on all the necessary timelines and dates to be on top of the case. He provided me with material to navigate the process, and advised me to attend classes that are shown to be helpful in getting a favorable outcome. He kept in touch with me to steer me in the right direction to get the case dismissed according to the court’s timeline. One thing I liked about having Mr. Goodman as my attorney is that he never promised anything, but have me the assurance that I also needed to do my part to get a favorable outcome. I trusted him and I’m glad it all worked out at the end because there is nothing more stressful than to have a case hanging over your head. It affected my whole like and even though no one can put the toothpaste back in the bottle, the next best thing is to move forward to get out of the dire situation. Only then can I be fully confident of my future. All in all, it worked out. As I mentioned, the misdemeanor case got dismissed. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Goodman to anyone who has a need for a defense attorney to represent them and to get one’s life back on track. He is experienced, knowledgeable, non-judgemental, and compassionate. A true professional. Thank you Mr. Goodman!

If I could give ten stars to Louis Goodman, I truly would. We were referred to Louis by one of the leading criminal defense attorneys in Silicon Valley. A family member had incurred a DUI arrest and there were unique aspects of their case that required vigorous, local legal representation. This meant... finding a top-flight, experienced, and successful attorney in Alameda County/Oakland where the case was unfolding. After a brief conversation with Louis's office staff, we received a call back almost immediately. He listened to all of the details, asked multiple on-point questions, gave us straight answers, and made himself available for any additional consultations needed while we wrapped our collective heads around the case. This experience has been a whirlwind for all concerned. Even though it has only been a few weeks, I feel like I have already known Louis for a lifetime. He manages to combine professional expertise, compassion and straight talk in a way that is rare in my long personal and business experience. He has been unfailingly responsive, generous, encouraging, and smart and I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you, a friend, or a loved one ever find themselves in the situation where they need a top-tier criminal defense/DUI attorney, you could not do better than hiring Louis Goodman.

No sexy or high end offices from this Louis but his results were extraordinary and frankly as a criminal defendant I was sure I was going to do time and he managed to get me off on a diversion program and I am looking at a complete dismissal in 12 months. The fees were reasonable. He was real good ab...out communicating and his personal relationships made navigating my case in the maze of the legal system much easier. I appreciated Louis and I frankly hope I never have to use his services in the Criminal Justice System but I would For always be thankful to him and highly recommended any one facing criminal charges to hire Louis. I came to him also via a referral from someone who was provided with the same level of results.
