If you find yourself in a position that requires only the best attorney, it would be in your best interest to call Jacqueline! She is a consummate professional, respected by her colleagues, and knows the law better than anyone. My loved one was staring at an attempted murder charge, in addition to 5 others, and was looking at many years in prison. Jacqueline secured him a fantastic pleas deal, however, he knew he was innocent and moved. forward with the trial. Jacqueline gives you her cell phone number, stays in touch, is a trusted advisor every step. It is a long emotional process but all you

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.

If you are in need of legal help/counsel, your look should stop here. Ms. Goodman is in a class of her own. I have known Jacquline for a few years now, and I can tell you that she knows what she is doing (more than most, and it isn't just lip service). She truly cares about her clients well being and what she can do to help them. She cares about her clients as though they were her own family members. She will explore, and exhaust all available options to achieve positive results for her clientele. Her efforts, care, and concern go well above what you would normally expect from an attorney. She

About a year ago a very close family member of mine was arrested on multiple counts of 288 charges.
We started looking for attorneys right away that specialized in this field and scheduled consultations with a few of them. After meeting with them we had no hope for his freedom, they all said that the case had no chance.
About a month later another family member found Ms. Goodman, and he scheduled a consultation with her. After his first meeting with her you could see a ray of hope in his eyes. He told us about her unparalleled experience and knowledge in this field, and we hired her right away
