Attorney Jacqueline Goodman established our law firm to help people in our area whose lives have been turned upside down by serious criminal charges, such as theft crimes, domestic violence vehicular manslaughter, or other violent crimes. For youths who stand accused of juvenile crimes, a conviction could mean institutionalization, while adults face the possibility of losing custody of their children, being sent to jail or prison, job loss, and a serious social stigma that may last for years. Immigrants face possible deportation or exclusion from the United States.
