Posted by Marshall | February 03, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

An excellent choice if you need divorce attorney

I had the misfortune of embarking on a high conflict divorce. As awful as divorce can be, I am very glad that I hired the law firm of Robert Goodman to represent me. Robert's team always handled every problem and situation very professionally and courteously. It was a long process -- not Goodman's fa...ult at all -- but I definitely hired the right law firm. The firm handled all of my communications very well, always answering my questions with great competence and understanding of the law and the process. Without going into details, I can say that my spouse was combative and made the process very difficult for me. I always listened to my attorney's advice throughout and I am very satisfied with the results. I have no regrets in hiring Robert's firm and I wholeheartedly recommend them. If you're contemplating divorce, especially if you're in a difficult marriage situation you think you cannot get out of, or you're afraid of what might happen... you should call Robert.

Honest, thorough & professional

Bob Goodman and Carolyn Pettifer worked with me from the legal separation to the final decree of divorce. They were always available through email or phone to answer any questions I had along the way. I felt confident in their abilities to guide me in the decision-making process. I appreciated their ...honesty, thoroughness and professionalism throughout.
