Hired Law Firm

I contacted Jay Goodman and Associates through NOLO on Sunday evening. Gary called me on Monday, took down my information and scheduled a consultation for the next morning. Jay Goodman called me on Tuesday. After my explaining my situation, Mr. Goodman provided information on a plan of action to pursue legal action. He was very detailed about the steps to be taken and clear about my options. He demonstrated compassion and professionalism along with his expertise. I decided to hire his team to help me. I'm looking forward to working with them and prevailing in my situation. Thank you.

Jay Goodman & Associates helped me with my divorce proceedings. The firm was extremely helpful and understanding through the entire process. They cared not only about my current situation but also helped me plan for my family's future as well. I would recommend Jay Goodman & Associates to anyone who is in need of an experienced, compassionate, and cost effective attorney.

Jay Goodman was formally reprimanded by the New Mexico state bar association for illegal billing practices, seriously bad!. They really shouldn't be using so many contract attorneys, quality really suffers. They made all sorts of mistakes, big and small.

Was very disappointed in quality of attorneys, constant turnover and poor communication.

Something just didn't feel right during my time working with Jay Goodman. The way billing, representation, and communication were handled raised a lot of red flags, so I did some digging. That's when I found out he was publicly reprimanded by the disciplinary board in Ohio. Finding this confirmed everything I felt. The reprimand was related to client financial harm, which honestly makes a lot of sense given my experience. He even ignored a court order to respond to those accusations--which mirrors what happened with me, as he ignored my questions and concerns about billing, how my case was being handled, and avoided speaking with me directly. In fact, he cut off all communication after the initial consultation, leaving me feeling completely unsupported and misled. If you're thinking about hiring him, I'd strongly suggest rethinking it.

Jay Goodman is a crook and a fraudster. I warn you to beware of the wolf dressed in sheep’s clothing. The firm’s name should be Jay Crookman and the Charlatans. Just know that Jay Goodman was publicly reprimanded by the Disciplinary Board in the Supreme Court of Ohio and was ordered to pay a client back for their losses because of his dishonest and abusive conduct. Here it is right here: https://www.supremecourt.ohio.gov/rod/docs/pdf/0/2010/2010-Ohio-4986.pdf#page145. Goodman does a great job gaining your trust by portraying himself as a “compassionate” and “empathetic” person who will fight for you. But believe me, Goodman and his firm don’t care about you, your well-being, or the outcome of your case; what they do care about is your wallet.

Hired Attorney Mr. Jay P. Goodman

I contacted Jay Goodman to do an estate plan, including a trust, for my aging mom, when I had her financial power of attorney. He assigned me Steven Bone as the primary attorney to do the estate plan. The documents contained many mistakes, including spelling my sister's name wrong, spelling a charity's name wrong, and, most importantly, getting the arithmetic wrong, distributing the estate so that the total percentage was not 100%. Bone assigned Decades Group who charged up to $4800 every 2 wks.
