Carolyn Goodman did an amazing job in handling my separation agreement and divorce. She we very responsive, kind, and dedicated to advocating for me in every way possible. I feel very fortunate to have found her. She demonstrated again and again that she was sincere in her desire to help make a really difficult experience more tolerable. I am grateful to her for helping me to win my freedom. I recommend her without reservation.

Carolyn assisted my fiancee and me complete our prenuptial agreement. She was amazing in her thoroughness and helped me understand complex legal issues in very clear language. She was extremely prompt to reply to questions and move the process along to completion to meet the tight schedule before our marriage date. We are extremely happy with the outcome and have nothing but glowing recommendations for her.

I hired Carolyn Goodman for a pre-nup on a tight schedule. She was most helpful, informative, and kept me up to speed every step of the way. As someone who has never been through this process before, I felt extremely well-informed after talking to Carolyn, and felt like I came out of this process knowing so much more than before.
Her pre-nup is comprehensive yet clear and understandable, and I could not recommend her more, especially for people like me who are not familiar with family law.

Carolyn was a wonder to work with. She was extremely knowledgeable about DC divorces and legal agreements. She was quick to reply to outreach and very organized. I recommend her to anyone seeking a divorce attorney in DC.

I found Carolyn by way of her online reviews and I am so grateful that I did. I had actually consulted with another Attorney before meeting Carolyn and the experience left me very anxious. Carolyn deserves more than 5 stars.
Personally, from my first phone call with Carolyn, she put me at ease. She laid out the process in a way that I could understand and gave me a list of information to pull together - whether or not I chose to hire her. I am so glad I made the choice to work with her. Carolyn balanced being very empathetic to my emotional state and also bringing the focus back to the matter at hand in order to make progress.
Professionally, Carolyn is expert in her field, very thorough and her follow up and follow through is outstanding. She quickly drafted an equitable settlement agreement that didn't change much from draft to final copy. Because of circumstances beyond her control, the divorce process took over a year but she kept me informed throughout. The settlement agreement she drafted served as a guide, for me and my ex-husband, of things we had to address. By the time of the divorce hearing most everything in the agreement had been settled!
Many times Carolyn would call me to check on me and see how I and my children were adjusting to our new normal. I cannot express enough, Carolyn truly had my best interests at heart and she is the person you want in your corner!

Carolyn Goodman not only lives up to but also exceeds the supportive, thoughtful and vigorous representation as mentioned in her bio! She was my champion during this difficult period of my life. She was always available (I can't stress this point enough) and she was very understanding and extremely knowledgeable and professional. She thoroughly explained each step of the process to me and got me past every hurdle.
Carolyn is a true advocate for her clients and her work is a perfect representation of that dedication. I highly recommend her!

I reached out to Carolyn Goodman when it came time to put together a postnuptial. I can't overstate how great it was working with Carolyn. From our initial consultation she was always very patient with my questions, I never felt rushed to get anything done, and she always gave me in-depth and thorough responses. At no point did I not feel confident in her responses or recommendations, and she always laid out all the options. All in all, working with her from beginning to end was such a pleasurable experience for a process that often is not easy - however her advice most definitely lead to this being a painless, easy process. Finally, whenever I reached out to her with questions, she always responded quickly which was highly appreciated. I would definitely recommend Carolyn Goodman and already have to others.

I would highly recommend Carolyn -- she is a fantastic lawyer. Divorce can be a very stressful and overwhelming process. Carolyn takes the time to explain everything in a way that makes it understandable and is very knowledgeable. She is extremely organized and reaches out at every step of the process. She is also a very strong advocate for her clients. I really couldn't recommend a better lawyer.

I had a personal family matter that I needed help navigating through and contacted Carolyn. She was easy to speak with, didn't try to sell me anything and offered her help. She went above and beyond and really aided me with my issue! Don't hesitate to work with Carolyn!!!! I wish I could give her 10 stars!

I highly, highly recommend Carolyn Goodman - I hired her to help me through my divorce and sale of our home. She returned my calls/emails promptly, followed up with me continuously, and I could rely on her to be my sounding board and voice of reason. I appreciated her encouragement to not let me settle for something I was not comfortable with.
