    Thumbs up Goodman is Good!

    He is very organized, punctual. He has online incourt room procedurers which he adheres to. He will work hard to settle your case. He also has a good feel when your case is actually ready for trial. Over all a good fair judge.

    Thumbs up Goodman: a very good judge

    Goodman is one of those rare judges who actually reads an entire FILE when a case gets transferred to him. I was amazed that he picked up a small detail that he brought up during an appearance, and formed an immediate and lasting respect for him. I have heard other good things about him from other palintiff's attorneys, too.

    Smile Judge Goodman is very smart and prepared

    I also liked him. This judge cited cases on his own which helped my case. He seems practical and extremely will prepared. He has great tentative rulings!

    Thumbs up Goodman is a good judge, but maybe a little too smart!

    I also really like this judge. I have had him several times, he starts his calendar on time, is easy going, will engage in argument for as long as you wish and he has a great sense of humor.

    He has saved my tushy on a few occasions by him actually following the law when I messed up something or did not express it correctly. He is very neutral and I think wants the correct result but I have also seen him slam other attorneys who I know are "professional friends" with him or have known him for many years. Sometimes he follows the law a little too correctly, but it is impossible to fault him for doing what the law says or what he may have warned someone not to do.

    The only hesitation I have about him is he is smarter then 99% of the bench. That makes me nervous. If for some reason he wants to get you he can find a way. The good thing is I think he is just a very fair judge.
