“Bob Goodman is an amazing attorney. I had an unusual retaliation case. Bob Goodman took my case very seriously, listened to me and did a great job of making legal proceedings understandable. I don’t like conflict, but Bob was very chronologically expeditious and we mediated the case early on in the process. Bob’s paralegal Katelynn was a delight to work with, she was very proactive and kept me immediately updated with my case. Bob Goodman is not your typical attorney: he is very pleasant, good natured, and an all around good guy. I heartily recommend his services.” TE, sexual harassment, age and retaliation, 2024

“Hiring Bob Goodman was a game changer for me. As a woman in corporate America, I have experienced that women are unrepresented in senior roles, and that males at the top can be dismissive to concerns such as gender discrimination and large pay disparities between men and women for similar positions and responsibilities. Bob Goodman understands this dynamic, believed me and championed me as no one else has. Going through the severance negotiation and litigation process was very emotional for me, but Bob Goodman remained objective and provided wise counsel. As a result, we were able to negotiate a very different and advantageous outcome than if I had handled the negotiations myself. I was referred to Bob Goodman by a friend who is a labor attorney. I recommend his services 100%!” CW, Equal Pay Act, gender discrimination and severance negotiation, 2024

“Bob Goodman took great care of me as a client: I felt well cared for and knew I was in good hands. In my case, I was about to be promoted at work but then was fired after disclosing my health issues. Because my employer did not take my claim seriously, I asked around and was referred to Bob Goodman by a former satisfied client. Bob expertly handled my severance negotiations regarding my disability. I was very impressed with Bob Goodman’s integrity and how hard he worked for me. I wholeheartedly recommend Bob Goodman as an attorney.” JH, Severance Negotiation and Disability, 2024
