Approach
Attorney Goodwin personally handles every client matter at the firm. That means the lawyer who answers your questions during the initial consultation is the same lawyer who drafts your petition, appears at your 341 meeting of creditors, and argues any contested motions. Direct attorney access matters most when something unexpected happens – a trustee question, a lift-stay motion, a creditor adversary proceeding – and you need an experienced lawyer to respond quickly and correctly.
He approaches every case with three principles in mind: tell the client the truth about what filing will and will not accomplish; respect the dignity of clients who are often arriving at the firm at a low point in their financial lives; and make sure every petition and every schedule is accurate, because errors in bankruptcy filings have consequences that linger long after the case closes.
Community Involvement
The firm regularly publishes plain-English articles on consumer bankruptcy and foreclosure topics to help South Florida residents understand their rights before they ever speak to a lawyer. Attorney Goodwin has been quoted in national media outlets on consumer-rights topics including debt collection, foreclosure, and credit reporting.
