Attorney Jacqueline Goodman is the best! Every part of our experience with her was great...

Lyn DF (Google Review)
"Attorney Jacqueline Goodman is the best! Every part of our experience with her was great. From January 2020 to April 2021, she was the one who helped my husband's case. Thanks to Ms. Goodman, his case was dismissed! We can't express our happiness. Without her on our side, we wouldn't know what might happen to my family. She is very good and passionate at her job and always knows what she's doing. We highly recommend! Thank you Attorney Goodman and to your staff. We pray that God gives you more wisdom by helping people with their needs. God be with you always!"

Delanna L.  (Google Review)
"When I found out that my son was being accused of a serious crime, I knew that I had to get the best attorney there is and quickly.
I spoke with many attorneys. I felt that some didn't seem to want to listen or care about this situation. When I called Ms. Goodman's office I spoke with her assistant about the situation. She immediately called Ms. Goodman and told her of my son's situation. Ms. Goodman called within an hour while she was on vacation."

I interviewed over 5 different firms

I had been wrongfully accused and felt like everything I had worked really hard for was being overshadowed by this horrible accusation...

Martin Gonzalez  (Google Review)
"I had been wrongfully accused and felt like everything I had worked really hard for was being overshadowed by this horrible accusation. I was confused, unsure of my future, and unsure of the impacts to my family. But my personal approach to life would not let me give up without a fight. The biggest challenge now was finding the right attorney to represent me for who I am and ensure the truth was brought to the forefront of the courtroom. I interviewed over 5 different firms and every single one of them were more focused on ensuring I had the means to pay for their services. "
