My Attorney Is The Best

I am an up and coming creative and small business owner who had very little knowledge of how to protect my work. Sammetria has been there to guide me through everything step by step. She never makes me feel like another thing on her to-do list or like I wasn't important because of my income like some... other attorneys have. I feel better having her on my team as I continue to build my company.

Passion and Purpose

My experience with Ms. Goodson was pleasant and insightful. I felt that her guidance was genuine and sincere. I plan to continue to use her professional services in my future endeavors as I continue to pursue my purpose.

Wonderful experience

Ms. Goodson worked on our theatre company's 501c3 application, and helped us obtain our non-profit status. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, as well as thorough with all of the information that was needed. The experience was excellent from beginning to end, and we would absolutely work wit...h her again in the future. She has our highest recommendation.

BRAVO !!!!!! Amazing Work, Insight and Feedback!

Ms. Goodson took time with me and a contract I am considering. As an artist, signing contacts is a new thing for me and the legal verbiage proved certain unfamiliar territory. She shed light on several significant points and helped me understand issues that can and will impact me beyond my lifetime. ...This was huge and really helped me to make long-term positive decisions about the future of my art as well as earnings potential for my heirs. The Goss-Michael Foundation referred me to the Thomas Maddrey law firm and I could not be more pleased. So Kudos to them as well!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
