About mr Michael Bruce Goodman

I have been practicing law for over 25 years in the areas of DUI defense, License Suspensions and Traffic Citations.  I pride myself on not only being an effective attorney for my clients, but I also try to keep the expense of what they are going through to a minimum.  Each of the above areas have a tendency to "domino" out of control and what I do best is prevent the dominos from ever falling, or if they have started to fall, stop the fall from getting any worse, and getting people back on track. I also clear up peoples criminal records through the process of expungement.  This is a rather unique area of the law that I find few attorneys fully grasp.  Not only is the process rather unique but making sure that a record is truly clear has become, in recent years, almost an art form.  I look forward to helping you and showing that all attorneys are not just in it for the money but that we actually like helping those who are in need.

Mr. Goodman has done work for my family going back 10+ years. There are many cases that I’ve had him work on and I’ve always ended up with a positive outcome. Mike Goodman always answera my calls promptly and explains to me what it is I need to do and how to do it. He takes the time and will answer any questions and help with any steps that had to be done. He’s very knowledgeable and has always made me feel comfortable in his ability. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I would highly recommend Mr. Goodman.

Hired Attorney

I hired Michael Bruce Goodman for legal representation and had a very frustrating experience. Communication was consistently poor—I often had to follow up multiple times just to get basic updates, which should not happen when you’re paying for professional legal services. There was also a lack of transparency around case strategy and progress. At several points, I felt unclear about what work was being done. That uncertainty, combined with the communication issues, made the entire process more stressful than it needed to be. Michael Bruce Goodman has been publicly reprimanded by the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania for misconduct involving neglect and failure to communicate with clients. Based on my experience, I would not hire him again. If you are considering him, make sure you get very clear answers upfront about communication expectations, timelines, and what to expect throughout the process.

Hired Attorney

I agree with this previous complaint. I provided this "gentleman" with a retainer for services he did not complete. He refuses to call or email me with the recovery of my retainer. Absolutely the most unprofessional behavior who claims to be a great Lawyer. I am now going on two years with no response, this is just unacceptable. I would pick another Lawyer if I were you! Previous response by another client of his: This "gentleman" has refused to call me back after accepting payment for his assistance for now over 2 years. I have records and records of the many attempts to reach out to him and never received a response. This man should not be allowed in any court room with his unethical ways. He has refused to assist me with my case in any way shape or form and will not refund money for a service that is now provided. Please review all his cases and financial transactions. He has fraudulently promised to assist with my case, received money and refused to contact me in any capacity.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

You should be aware that the information we rely upon may not be comprehensive, or frequently updated.

Always research the lawyer further to get a better understanding of their license credentials, disciplinary status, background, and experience.

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.
