Top review highlights
Pros
1
Highly skilled and knowledgeable in family law, with a reputation for being honest and straightforward
“Lawrence is extremely effective! Not cheap but totally worth it! Not afraid to be aggressive! Very knowledgeable and honest!”
2
Provides personalized attention and support during a difficult process
“They treated me with respect and advocated for me at every step. I would recommend them with complete confidence.”
3
Achieves favorable outcomes for clients, including securing custody, property, and financial arrangements
“I went from every other weekend with my kids to a 50/50 split, kept my retirement, and he didn't break my wallet!”
4
Responsive and communicative, keeping clients informed throughout the process
“Whenever I had a question or concern, they were always there with an answer.”
5
Respected by other lawyers and judges, commanding control in the courtroom
“I have seen many timid, unprepared, outwitted attorneys obtain some pretty disastrous results for their clients. I ended up with sole custody of my daughter, 99.9% of the marital property, none of the marital debt, and a gigantic judgment against my ex-husband for attorney fees. That is because I hired the best - Lawrence Goodwin.”
Cons
1
Potential for perceived lack of empathy or bedside manner in initial consultations
“He immediately began tearing apart any aspect of anything I told him literally within minutes of entering his office which I had to force him to listen to to because he barely asked me any questions about my situation or my case.”
2
High fees and retainer costs may be a barrier for some clients
“Garbage attorney. Wouldn't suggest him on a parking ticket”
