"Bob gets my highest endorsement. I know Bob as a former professor of mine from law school and also from his sterling reputation and substantial achievements (such as winning a Federal jury trial this year). I’ve never heard a single negative thing about Bob and the best legal minds I know all speak so highly of him. As a professor, Bob was obviously brilliant but also his class was fun and truly prepared you for actual courtroom practice. There are only a handful of classes I wish I could take again now that I’m practicing law, and Bob’s Criminal Motions class is number one on the list. I refer people to Bob all the time as well. He’s sharp, experienced, ethical, and an ardent advocate. Doesn’t get any better than Bob."

"Bob was trial counsel in a matter where our mutual client was found not guilty of all of the charged felonies. I was able to file a fantastic appeal on the remaining misdemeanor because of Bob's remarkable work. He is a client's lawyer who worked tirelessly to expose the weaknesses in the government's case and secure a victory for his client."

"I endorse Mr. Goldsmith for many reasons, all of which are what make a great defense lawyer. He is a smart, savvy and dedicated advocate. In addition to these attributes, Bob draws on vast experience to make him a true pro. We just won a difficult jury trial with the best part being his cross examination of a witness, which was truly courtroom excellence to behold!"

His court demeanor is both calm and confident, and that is a great benefit to clients facing the serious consequences of a criminal conviction. Working with him on a complex criminal case was both a fantastic learning experience and a lot of fun."

"I endorse Bob Goldsmith without reservation. Whenever I have a federal practice question about the Western Dist. of WA., I ask Bob. He is a very hard worker, cares about his Client's, and has the respect of the judges. He always knows what will work in a particular judge's court. He is excellent to consult for court strategy, because he is not afraid to take tough cases to trial. No wonder he has taught trial practice classes before. After I have brainstormed with him, I always feel like I have covered critical issues well, and will provide better service to my Client."

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Goldsmith taught pre-trial advocacy at Seattle University and was the best law school teacher I've had. All of his students very much appreciate the knowledge he passed on and especially how he helped us developed our own in court presentations."
