Robert A Goodman Law Offices

I worked with Bob and Carolyn for pre-marital services. (I've noticed many of the reviews are about divorce) I was extremely pleased with Carolyn's attention to detail, thoroughness and ability to achieve favorable terms, while ensuring my partner and I were both comfortable with the language in our prenup. It is a fine line to walk. The outcome was about love and life planning. Highly recommend this firm; particularly, for the initial draft.

Carolyn and her team were incredibly helpful and attentive in assisting me with my dissolution of marriage case in Alameda County. She and her team were responsive and thorough and I cannot recommend this practice enough! Thanks again!

I went to Law Office of Robert A. Goodman from my extensive research of a good family law firm in the Bay Area and I sincerely agree that they are the best. Before I went to Bob, I had another family law attorney who was representing me in Domestic Violence case. However, he was very lazy, inexperienced, and never returned my calls. I went to Bob for Child Support case because I did not trust my former attorney. My going to Bob was a blessing. Bob, Carolyn and other staff of Robert A. Goodman are very experienced and professional. They are consistent and straight to the point in their representations. They represented me very well and I am glad with the outcome of my Child Support case. It is my pleasure to recommend the Law Office of Robert A. Goodman to anyone who needs representation especially in family law. This firm is expert in family law.

I would like to thank Bob Goodman’s firm for delivering the desired results in a somewhat contentious custody dispute. Carolyn Pettifer was an exceptional advocate and listener from the first conversation to the final moments in trial. She writes very well, listens, gives great advice, and plays devil's advocate while still being very personable and graceful. She was very impressive during the hearing and the subsequent trial. Bob was also an effective listener and addressed my concerns when needed and brought in additional support, via Karen Caldwell, in the final moments. Karen did an extremely thorough job on her end as well.

I highly recommend Robert Goodman and Carolyn Pettifer. Carolyn Pettifer was the primary attorney handling the divorce of my mother, aged 89. Due to my mother's age, I was appointed guardian ad litem to act on my mother's behalf. As you can imagine, there was a lot of delicacy involved in handling this case. Robert and Carolyn were both very compassionate in their actions. Carolyn was very proactive in keeping me apprised of each step and following up with various court actions. They really took ownership of this case and drove it to a satisfactory conclusion for my mother. Thank you Robert and Carolyn!!!
