Arianna is PRICELESS!!!!!

Nobody is perfect, but when it comes to criminal law, it doesn't get much closer to a perfect lawyer than what you can expect if you hire Ms. Goodman as your attorney. Not only was I facing very serious criminal charges, I was facing charges in two separate incidents in two separate counties in Penns...ylvania. As a young black male with an extensive criminal record and a prior felony, it is both a miracle and a blessing not to be serving time in a state prison as I type this review. Not only does she deserve high praise, she also deserves honest reviews. As I read the latest review before posting this, I was kind of upset that someone would attempt to discredit Ms. Goodman after all that she has done to support me and help to make sure I had a fair chance to be home with my family. I have only known Arianna Goodman for almost a year, but she has made me feel like more of a friend than a client in many different instances. She does everything that you would want a paid lawyer to do for you, as far as informing you of all possibilities, communicating and corresponding with you as well as fight to get you the best outcome regarding your case. She is very smart, and she is always on point with her presentation. I wasted $4,500 on a lawyer before I met Ms. Goodman, only to fire him and retain her to get the outcome that I did which kept me out of jail. I'm sure if it was up to my previous lawyer I would be serving time right now and would have become another minority statistic in this commonwealth state. Arianna relates to people from the city, maybe it has something to do with her growing up down south in Mississippi which I have come to learn since knowing her. She just isn't the typical money greedy lawyer who sells you dreams just to disappoint you in the court room. I don't believe anything I read from the previous review because that is the TOTAL opposite of the woman who represented me. She is very honest, and trustworthy. A 5 star lawyer hands down!

The Worse of the worse!!!

First off, such a reputable lawyer like Evan Hughes should be ashamed to have someone like Arianna working for him. She charged me a huge fee and did NOTHING for me. Her approach is very weak and it's obvious that she is very intimidated by the judges. She did a very bad job cross examining a witness... that was noticeably high on stand. Meanwhile, my sister is my co defendant and Evan Hughes was able to get her felonies dropped to misdemeanors...and it's the same case!!!!! Then she had the nerve to call me to tell me we have to do a jury trial...no other options and throw large figures at me!! Is she really a lawyer? She couldn't even explain things to me because I always had to call Evan to explain things better. She's a rookie and needs more experience before entering the courtroom. I would not recommend her to anyone. No one should pay her for services that she does not provide. Jeez she wasn't even ready for cross examination. I dropped her and got another lawyer to handle my trial. I would rate her with negative 5 stars if I could!!!

Arianna thank you soon much again for your devotion regarding my case.

A wonderful defense attorney

Prosecutors can be pushy and they all expect people (even innocent people) to accept a deal, usually not a good one in order to escape the severe penalties. Arianna and the Hughes Firm handled my case very professionally, evaluated the evidence thoroughly, was never afraid to go all the way to trial..., and she let the prosecution know that. It was priceless witnessing the prosecutor leave the courtroom looking like he just swallowed a bug and me with a very small fine, my freedom, and no blemishes on my record.
