Robert E. Goodman Jr. - Dallas, TX

When I hired Mr. Goodman, I was impressed. He has very good command of the language and law. He appears reasonably smart. He appears empathetic. He states that he is there to help you. He promise you that he will protect and sue for you. That all changes after he gets paid his retainer. After he gets your retainer, he really does minimal. He's been paid, so why does he care after that point? He does not follow through with his initial promises. He backs down to other attorneys. Instead of fighting for you, he will change his tone to compromise or settling. That's not what he promised in the beginning and what he was hired for in the beginning. He should be upfront about that. He is arrogant and does not like to be second guessed. He seems compassionate at first, but is really all about the money to him. I initially had faith in him as did other another reviewer client that I saw earlier on this website. But you will see that he is such a coward and is all about the money. You want a lawyer who will fight for you. Not one who promises you the moon, but cowers to other attorneys after he gets your retainer. Be upfront and realistic to the client. Don't over promise and under deliver. I have no problem paying an attorney, just wish he was more upfront. He does minimal after he is paid his "retainer." The office "museum" that he works at is fancy. He has large screens in his office. He trained at Columbia. In fact, he has a picture of his son shaking hands with President Obama. But don't let that fool you for one second. He is a coward and over promises before he gets paid his retainer. Looking at another reviewer, I also lost trust in this attorney over time. Do yourself a favor. Look elsewhere. Don't be fooled by the fancy office. If you look, he really is not busy when you come into his office. Save your time and money. Look for a real attorney who will truly be your advocate and actually fight for you and delivers on what he or she promises. He is not very ethical. I learned the hard way time-wise and financial wise. I don't even care so much all about the money, but all the time wasted from empty "compassionate" promises. I really don't like to write bad reviews, but for this attorney - I have an ethical responsibility to future clients to protect them. Avoid at all costs. I have no idea why his partners keep him at the practice.
