Coming from out-of-state, I was concerned about selecting a firm in the area that would adequately represent my interests in a residential real estate transaction. Having Mr. Goodwin as my representative gave me peace of mind that my interests would be protected by a knowledgeable, understanding professional who could guide me, with whom I could consult, and whose expertise I could rely upon if unanticipated issues arose. All of his staff were also quite helpful, accommodating and patient throughout the process.
We had a Trust issue that needed to be coordinated between Florida and New York for my 89 year-old mother. To make matters more complicated it was during the Corona Virus quarantine period and my mom was in the vulnerable age group. I explained all this to Mr Goodwin and he not only understood all the legal issues and executed them promptly and efficiently, but he kept me and my mom, as well as our lawyer in New York fully engaged and informed every step of the way. We thought his fee very reasonable for the work he did. In addition to his legal knowledge and efficiency, he and his staff treated my mom with utmost care and concern for her health throughout the whole process. I must say a word for his legal team as well. Natalia did an excellent job coordinating and communicating with us and she was very efficient and accurate in all the work in which she played a part. I would, without hesitation, highly recommend the Goodwin Law firm for any real estate, trust, wills or probate.
I needed some documentation within a short period of time. When I contacted (Matt) at Goodwin Law, P.A., he was readily available to address all my concerns. It took less than 1 week to obtain the documentation needed! All my phone calls were also returned same day. I very much appreciated Matt's knowledge, professionalism, and timeliness in his efforts. I would highly recommend this law firm!
Our entire process with Goodwin Law was fantastic! Matt is professional, attentive, and very informative. I was able to reach him anytime I had a question. Greisy was extremely helpful working on our file. Without her, it wouldn’t have went nearly as well. She was exceptional! Lauren handled our signing at closing and was awesome! We had such a positive experience with this law firm! I highly recommend Goodwin Law!
Matt handled my case in a timely manner and was vary honest in telling my all my options and the possible outcomes. I would recommend Matt to any of my friends if they were looking for a law firm with integrity.
We moved to Florida from out of state and asked Matt to assist us in our estate planning. He was prompt and very well organized. We were very busy at the time and Matt conducted two meetings, one of preparation and one of completion. Every minute was well spent on its way to a successful outcome. We also had the occasion to engage Matt in two real estate transactions ... both went very well. We recommend Matt as a knowledgeable and sincere attorney who is a pleasure to work with.
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
