Without the help and support of Christian and Catherine I would have never received the treatment I needed after my back injury. They gave me so much support with not only my case but just keeping me going mentally when the workers compensation adjuster was delaying the case needlessly. They helped me get a settlement so I could get my medical care and get on with my life.

Goings Law Firm is undoubtedly the best team of personal injury lawyers in the state of South Carolina. From day one, Robert, Chris, and Katie made me feel incredibly comfortable and at ease during one of the scariest and most stressful moments of my life. During my client intake, Chris was very compassionate and helpful, while Katie was always super quick to respond and great at communicating very complicated legal information throughout the entire process. Robert and his colleagues are truly a top-notch legal team! I sincerely cannot recommend Goings Law Firm enough!

Christian and Katherine were great to work with. I recommend them 100% to anyone who needs an attorney for a workmen’s compensation claim. They are very professional, knowledgeable and most of all they care about their clients.

I can’t say enough good things about this firm. I called Goings Law Firm and the owner, Robert Goings, answered himself. He listened patiently to my concerns about my daughter’s recent car accident and set us up an appointment. He treated the two of us like family as he and his staff addressed my daughter’s questions and conerns. The entire staff was attentive and explained things carefully to my daughter. His fees were very reasonable, and they were able to quickly bring a resolution to our case. Also, they provided a calm and professional presence during the emotional times that we spoke with them during the process. I would not hesitate to refer Going Law Firm to family and friends...

I could not appreciate Goings Law Firm more. I was hit by a drunk driver and needed help because the accident happened while I was in the process of moving. Not only did it occur in a state that was not my place of residence, but I also had to account for my car being full of personal possessions that were damaged in the process (not to mention my own injuries). Robert Goings and his staff were beyond helpful and supportive through everything. I had (luckily) never been involved in anything like that before, and they answered all of my questions with patience. They made sure I got the medical attention I needed, and dealt with everything in a timely manner. And this was all from several states away! I would gladly recommend their services to anyone.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
