I was referred to this attorney and he came highly recommended, looking at the Google reviews and the extensive "knowledge" that was noted, I thought it was a no Brainer to higher him! Although, I could have retained another lawyer at a cheaper rate. I wish I would went with a court appointed lawyer and saved $2500.00 because he did absolutely nothing to help me. I payed in full way before my court date and never received a call or consultation (which was odd in my experience). I had to call multiple times just to follow up and see if i could do anything prior to my case to help, no advice was given. My discovery was requested a day before my court case and our first meeting was in the court room for about 5 minutes basically telling me to take a plea deal. I had a DUI and refusal. I was convicted of a DUI and the refusal null processed which basically means nothing was done, I would have achieved the same results representing myself or just pleading guilty to start with. There was no Alcohol test done so you would think it was a win, he didn't even try to get it reduced to wet wreckless or anything. His entire attitude and disposition showed me he really didn't care about the outcome of my case or about me at all. He showed up late each time and was very sinister while speaking with him. I absolutely wish I would have went with another attorney. I have a perfect driving record and no previous criminal record. I subsequently have to have Interlock for 12 months that cost $90. Per month, $400.00 for asap, $220.00 for restricted license and $500.00 in court cost. This is insane and can cause economic hardship for anyone on a budget. You have to have a FR44 on your Insurance which also increases your premium. I made a bad decision the night of my DUI charge and the day I retained this lawyer. I've been bleeding money every since. I get that the law is the law and consequences are standard for certain offenses but I can't help feeling like I had an attorney who didn't care about me. I recommend him to someone else prior to my case outcome. Another mistake. 2023 showed me alot, I'm thankful that I can afford to pay the cost and I have the tenacity to comply with all my obligations. The commonwealth or this attorney will never see me again. If you're going to refuse, refuse everything the field test and breathalyzer, you might spend 6 hours in jail but it will help your case in the future. I made a mistake that will stay on my record for ever, and possibly prevent future career opportunities. You only get one chance, this is your future. I would advise to always speak up for yourself, and if not satisfied excersise your right to request different counsel, the court will grant you a continuance, you may pay a little more because they will still deduct fees for whatever so called work they did, but it could possibly save your record and future. Most importantly obey the law people!! Lesson learned!

Joshua Goff is a walking VA Code encyclopedia that can articulate a very strong defense for his clients. He is the type of attorney you NEED in any criminal matter. When I first spoke with him on the phone, he was very professional, compassionate, knowledgeable, and confident in his ability to defend the case… in court he transformed into a ferocious beast, showing no compassion to the opposition, and swung one of the biggest bats I ever seen in court. I am more than happy with the result and I could tell that Mr. Goff was proud of himself. That was clear indication that he challenges himself to be the best and he cares about his work. The best part about Mr. Goff is that you can tell he is passionate about what he does and being in the courtroom is his element. No matter how bad you think your case is… TRUST HIM! Doesn’t matter what your case is or what you look like… do yourself a favor and at least call him. He is affordable and is ready.

Mr. Goff is a very great attorney and I great at his job. He was referred to me from a close friend of mine. I had false charges placed out against me. Before the trial he ensured I was comfortable with what will take place and had enough countermeasures to ensure my case was going to be dismissed. Walking into to court room. I had not doubt he had my back 100%. All, charges were dismissed.

I have enjoyed a working relationship with Josh Goff from this practice. I originally met Mr. Goff in a Young Professionals group and after speaking with him realized not only his expertise in legal matters but also the care and compassion he has for his clients makes him a great attorney. I have used Mr. Goff for legal matters involving previous employees as well as consulted with him in a number of other legal matters. Mr. Goffs reputation proceeds him in the legal community; and Goff and Voltin is considered to be one of the top rising stars for legal counsel on the peninsula.

I was charged with reckless driving (78/55) in York County, VA and risked serious consequences. Due to having several speeding tickets AND a DUI on my record already, other attorneys that I spoke with provided little to no reassurrance in a positive outcome. Then, I found Mr. Goff who was reassurring and comforting about my case. He was experienced and calculated, even setting aside time to practice responses to questions i may be asked before my court date. He exuded an unmatched level of professionalism and confidence throughout the entire process. I am pleased to say that due to Mr. Goff's strategic approach and polished skill, he was able to get my reckless driving charge reduced from 23 over to a speeding charge of only 10 over (65/55)! I would highly recommend Mr. Goff for any matter. Thanks again Josh!

I was involved in an accident where I was accused of Following too Close. Mr. Goff was direct, precise and incredibly professional. In five minutes I was vindicated for hitting a car parked in the middle of the road. I felt from the beginning that this was not my fault and he proved it very quickly. His office staff is great also. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I hope you never need a defense attorney but if you do, call Mr. Goff. I know you'll be more than satisfied.

Josh did a great job representing me. He is authentic and committed to providing the best service possible. The legal system can be daunting for the layman, but with Josh in my corner my case was dismissed. I would hire him again and if you need an attorney call this guy!

I hired Josh to represent me on a traffic violation. Even with my long list of prior violations, Josh was able to get my ticket dropped after attending driving school. I would highly recommend Josh to anyone in need of legal counsel.

I retained Joshua on a simple assault and battery charge in which I was involved in Newport News. His counsel and advice through the process and relationship with the prosecutor served in my most favor. The prosecutor's findings were found insufficient. I would recommend him to anyone who is being criminally prosecuted on the Peninsula.
