Garth was the second attorney I hired to help me through an Alimony for life and arrears owed issue that had dragged on for over 10 years. Not only did he help me resolve the issue, but he was able to negotiate the amount due down by over $100,000.. a calm voice in the storm and a fierce negotiator. Garth is knowledgeable, understanding, and has your best interest in mind.

I let go of my first attorney in my divorce case because I felt like a number and my needs weren’t being addressed when it came to my two boys. When I had my consultation with Garth, I knew immediately I wanted to have him represent me. Mr. Goodman is highly intelligent, ethical, caring, experienced, logical, attentive, responsive, empathetic, kind, real, humble, strong, and an unwavering advocate. Even when I didn’t know what was best, he did. He thinks outside the box and he isn’t afraid to delicately tell you to think about things in a way you might not have thought about them. He helped me come to the other side of this spiritually. And it also was a bonus that he has a good sense of humor and he’s genuinely funny. I mention this last part because I honestly think my life is better because he was in it. He was my trusted counsel through a very long (2.5 years) and difficult divorce. He put my boys first in his advice because he understood me as a mother. He helped me come to the other side of something that was more than divorce proceedings. In a world of uncertainties, You can count on Mr. Garth Goodman. His name fits him perfectly. I am forever grateful. My boys and I are better today for having him in our corner.

Mr. Goodman provided me a level of professionalism unsurpassed with any previous legal counsel. His attention to detail, compassion and empathy allowed for a smooth life transition.

Well recommended would be an understatement. Mr. Goodman has helped me overcome a very challenging divorce that unfortunately took 3 years. I believe that without his council, I would not have the relationship I have today with my son. Over the years, we’ve spent a total of ~30 hours in meditation, established a temporary long distance time sharing plan, established a revised temporary time sharing plan, and entered into an emergency hearing concerning the mother not returning with our child from her native country if awarded a passport. All of this before the final hearing! This goes to show that whatever may come up, Mr. Goodman has your back and has the experience needed to help his clients. I am completely satisfied with the service Mr. Goodman has provided over the years. I have substantial time sharing with my son, I have a reasonable child support payment, and most importantly I don’t have to worry about my son traveling internationally and not returning. Mr. Goodman was able to convey all my concerns to the court and the judge ruled that they were indeed legitimate. He has set me up for success and I will be forever grateful. SMIB

Garth Goodman is by far the best attorney there is in family law. He is upfront about the cost, will take diligent time with your case, and treat it as if it were his own. Guides you through the process with ease and grace. I can assure you, he did wonders in my case. I would recommended him to others needling a good, fair, honest family law attorney. Most importantly, he did what was fair for my child, which makes him outshine other attorneys. He will most certainly put you and your child’s needs first. He is very reasonable in pricing compared to other law firms. Go to Garth, you wont regret it!

Power of Attorney, ex-spouse, and Garth Goodman vs. ex-spouse and ex-spouse's attorney, 12 years post divorce motion of contempt, in failure to comply to the divorce decree. Thank you Garth for taking this on and the judge awarding the mentally incompetent ex-spouse an equitable lien against the other party for unjust enrichment, which involved intentional/willful financial civil fraud. Great job, Garth, in defending a mentally incompetent party, 12 years post divorce, and prevailing.

I did not want to hire an attorney, however I did not know my rights and was capable of protecting my interest. I am very happy with the professional services I recieved. Mr Goodman was very patient, ensured I fully understood my options and help me to protect myself. I recieved twice what I would have gotten without his representation. My husband needed a reality check, the support I received enabled me to set myself up for success in the future.

I hired Garth after receiving subpar representation from my first attorney. I consulted with Garth regarding my current situation. Garth was honest and confident with the outcomes that could be achieved, but made no unrealistic promises. Garth did deliver on what he felt could be achieved with his representation. Upon hiring Garth I felt I had a chance at the outcome I was hoping for. Garth didn't tell me what I wanted to hear, but what I needed to hear, and for someone such as myself this was crucial. Garth was punctual, responsive, and always explanatory of the legal process. Divorce is difficult and terrifying and I believe having Garth by my side was a source of light through the process. My divorce was contentious and grueling, but Garth remained vigilant. I highly recommend Garth and would consult him again in the future.

Thanks to Garth for making the process very straightforward and not a prolonged divorce proceeding. I would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with divorce and child custody.

I would definitely recommend Mr Goodman he help me navigate my way thru a 22yr marriage that unfortunately grew apart and reached it breaking point. . He was easy to talk to and never tried to get me to agree to anything I wasn't comfortable with. Hie is a reasonably priced lawyer never charging any over-inflated fees .Mr Goodman always kept me informed about an specifics or changes in my case. The end result of my case wss that I was very pleased with the outcome

Garth Goodman represented me in my very contencious divorce and custody case. Mine was definitely not an easy case. He was thrown curveballs constantly and never gave up on me.

When I was getting ready to hire Garth Goodman the first thing I wanted to do was meet him in person. He has a good presence, good eye contact, friendly, direct, very good communicator, and commands respect. He spent a great deal of time preparing. He made sure that all our pretrial data was clear and accurate. He has a long track record and understands what needs to be done. He anticipates what the opposing side will ask about and understands what their most likely strategy will be going forward. He was everything an attorney should be: He was spot on during the period before the actual signing of the divorce papers. He gave me the facts and did not sugar coat it. He didn’t nickel and dime me trying to boost up his charges for the case with useless phone discussions. I felt like he watched my money very closely. In the end he negotiated a good settlement. He counter offered twice resulting in a substantial savings. He is not only a great lawyer but I consider him a good friend. If you want a very competent lawyer that has a burning desire to do what’s best for his client, then Garth Goodman is who you should hire.
