Extremely knowledgable and personable
We used and highly recommend Ed Goodson, at Reynolds Law. We did our estate planning remotely with Ed a few years ago and everything went as smooth as if we were in person. He has a confidant yet easy going personality and is extremely knowledgeable in his area of expertise. I've known Ed for 30 year...

I could not be happier or more thankful
The tragic death of our son left me in complete despair. I was selected to be the executor of his estate and I was neither emotionally prepared for it, nor legally knowledgeable enough for the difficulties that arose. Looking back over the years since Jeff’s death in 2012, the one fortunate happen...

A practical lawyer.
I recently worked with Ed on a difficult matter and he quickly helped resolve the issue that has lingered with other attorneys for sometime. I found him effective and responsive and not "overworking" the case.

Edward Warren Goodson's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. Ed truly cares about both his clients and his staff. Excellent resource for trust law."
"I commend Mr. Goodson for discussing the fact that it is possible to hire a probate lawyer in California for less than the maximum allowable fee set by statute. I practice probate law in Nevada where my firm of Reed & Mansfield successfully offers discount rates and excellent personal service for probate cases. Occasionally I get clients who have to do probates in both California and Nevada and often these clients have been brainwashed by California lawyers that "all lawyers in California charge the same amount for a probate," so no point price shopping."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Goodson is a very knowledgeable attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. I am a personal injury attorney and I had a probate question. Mr. Goodson answered my question very quickly with excellent and helpful information in a probate matter. He clearly is very knowledgeable about probate matters."
"I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Goodson is relatively new to the Avvo community, but it is clear from his many responses that he not only knows the law, but also has a desire to provide people with practical and helpful information in order to address their legal concerns. I am looking forward to his continued presence in the Avvo community. James Frederick"
