Bita Goodman

Worst lawyer ever. Does absolutely nothing for you, never available, takes your money and then disappears. Rarely replies to calls or messages, provides no updates, and makes you feel completely ignored once payment is made. Very unprofessional and frustrating experience. I would never recommend this lawyer to anyone.

Title: Inducement, Abandonment, and Retaliatory Conduct I retained this attorney after clear representations she would handle my eviction defense and a habitability matter involving serious mold and unsafe conditions. She instructed me to wait until service and quoted a fee. I relied on this and did not retain alternate counsel. After I was served, she refused to proceed, leaving me unrepresented under strict deadlines and exposed to immediate legal risk. She then denied agreeing to the habitability matter despite prior statements and witnesses. She referred me to a mold vendor who performed an inadequate inspection and refused to correct it, delaying proper documentation of hazardous conditions. When I raised concerns, she attempted to withdraw from my existing case. The timing appears retaliatory. This pattern—inducing reliance, failure to perform, and withdrawal under pressure—caused significant legal exposure and harm. I strongly caution others
