I have known Mr. Goodman for many years. I recently had a problem for which I thought there was no good solution. I asked Mr. Goodman to represent me knowing beyond any doubt that he would devote all his energy and all his skill to helping me. Working with the Commonwealth's Attorney, he secured an outcome for me that I did not think possible, an absolute miracle. I recommend that anyone with serious legal problems call Mr. Goodman immediately.

Mr. Goodman is amazing. He is very professional, responsive to the client's needs, and effective. The odds of a good outcome in my court case were slim, but Mr. Goodman produced an outcome better than I could have imagined possible.

Highly recommend this lawyer, I was ACCUSED of strangulation ,assault and battery and I was found not guilty on all the counts yesterday. It was a VERY COMPLICATED case with a very little chance but Mr.Goodman took the case to a jury and won.

Mr. S. Goodman, is brilliant. His knowledge of the law exceeded the knowledge of the Judge, prosecutors and officers, involved in our case. The judge, looked up the law, agreed with Mr. Goodman and dismissed the case. We could not have chosen a better lawyer, he is compassionate, honest and reliable. We highly recommend him.

Mr. Goodman represented me in a steep reckless driving case. I was charged for going 27 over, 92 in a 65 and immediately turned to Mr. Goodman. Mr. Goodman's expertise and professionalism was the only thing that kept me from worrying sick about it. He doesn't sugar coat anything and told me the facts about what exactly I was going up against, as I have never been pulled over or had any trouble with the law. Mr. Goodman is based out of Charlottesville, VA and the county where I had to appear in was Giles County, a 30 minute drive outside of Blacksburg. It amazes me how he can walk into any courtroom at any time and immediately garner the respect of everyone present. To sum up, I was facing and expecting a pretty harsh punishment. Mr. Goodman got me to walk away almost scot-free and I couldn't be happier with his service.

I am very grateful for Mr. Goodman representing me on a conceal weapon charge. He showed great professionalism and expertise. He kept me informed because it was in the middle of Covid. He also sent me a text the day after court checking on me and telling me to breathe it is all over. The text showed me he cares about his clients and I would definitely recommend him. Thank you again! Lisa Colvin

I would like to share my STELLAR Experience with representation with Mr. Scott Goodman. My 20 year old son was in a very critical situation facing serious criminal charges with reckless driving. Mr. Goodman exemplified the utmost professionalism and knowledge through this very stressful and emotional time. Mr. Goodman was truly a pleasure in handling this critical case from start to finish. I am thankful for his expertise and reputation within the industry. I would highly recommend him in any critical criminal charge case. Mr Goodman worked his magic in having these charges significantly reduced as my son was in jeopardy in losing his license. I am so thankful for the referral of this Top Notch Attorney Mr. Scott Goodman. Thankful for his ELITE 5 Star Representation.
