I asked a divorce mediator to recommend a good lawyer from the many she has worked with, and she immediately responded "Cameron. You want Cameron Goodman." Skilled, knowledgeable, honest, and always prepared, I found her description of him to be absolutely spot-on. He is thorough, compassionate, quick to respond, and has a great sense of humor, a quality often overlooked when hiring attorneys. When my ex's awful lawyers turned a quick and simple divorce into a long, drawn-out mess, Cameron made the process much less painful that it otherwise could have been. I have enjoyed working with him, and the comparison between them highlighted for me just how good he is, both as a lawyer and as a person. Cameron listened to my needs and wants, offered a variety of strategies to move the process along, explained the pros and cons of each decision to be made and why he believed a particular choice would be most advantageous, was open about the possible costs of each action, and headed off the occasional angry whining on my part with gentle encouragement. (In contrast, to show just how bad a bad lawyer can be, the ex's first lawyer -- the lazy, incompetent one -- avoided communication like the plague, gave vague, useless advice, and sat on paperwork for months. His second lawyer -- the aggressive, egotistical bully -- loudly demanded a trial while ignoring all the judge's negotiating suggestions, churned out mountains of motions and filings and emails that gained nothing but a lot of billable hours, refused to admit painfully obvious errors even when told so by two different judges, submitted paperwork that ranged from gross misrepresentations to outright lies, and withheld from the ex information that might have led him to negotiate at the start before those hours were billed. It's almost a pity that Cameron maneuvered him into a corner where he had no choice but to settle, because watching his lies be torn apart in trial would have been glorious. The deposition transcript alone was an amazing read!) If your goal in divorce is to inflict punishment or get revenge, Cameron would prefer you look elsewhere for an attorney. But if you are seeking skilled and effective counsel from a lawyer who truly cares about his clients, I highly and heartily recommend Cameron Goodman.

I was impressed with Cameron the moment I met him at my consultation. He was very professional but very personable throughout my entire divorce process. He seemed like he genuinely cared about me and actually called to check on me a few times! During the process he was very diligent and timely with things. He was tough when he needed to be and very fair and treated everyone with respect. Was very knowledgeable and I always felt he really cared for me. I've had a few random things arise post divorce and he's been on top of it and responds very quickly. I'd recommend him to anyone! Thanks Cameron!

Cameron handled a family law matter for me. He did a excellent job. He was trustworthy and responsive. He took the time to make sure I understood everything and made sure we were both on the same page. He demonstrated a through knowledge of the law and kept me informed at every step of the way. He is a excellent negotiator and, when appropriate, and aggressive advocate. I am grateful I sought his advice.

First and foremost I found myself trusting Cameron more than any council I've ever retained. In divorce/maintenance proceedings, we all know that more attorney's than not will antagonize, aggravate, and provoke each side into escalating legal fees. Fortunately, I found it doesn't have to be that way. What was at one point a hostile and seemingly impossible situation, Cameron was able to negotiate and ultimately conciliate a fair settlement with the respondent and opposing council that was nothing short of rigid, ill-disposed, and spiteful. Cameron knows the law, what arguments will fly and the arguments that won't. He presents himself extremely well to the judge while at the same time flustering opposing council (several occasions). In the end, Cameron was the reason two people were able to get on with their lives with an agreed order. I highly recommend Cameron and certainly consider him a friend going forward.
