About
I provide supportive, thoughtful and vigorous representation. I am a sole practitioner and I am involved in every aspect of a client's case. I believe that negotiated settlements better serve my clients than litigation. Litigation has both a financial and emotional toll that can be avoided by negotiating a settlement. My mission is to give each client close personal and prompt attention. I have extensive experience negotiating settlements and drafting Marital Settlement Agreements, Separation and Property Settlement Agreements, Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements, Cohabitation Agreements, Parenting plans, and all other Agreements related to Family Law.

Reviews
I found Carolyn by way of her online reviews and I am so grateful that I did. I had actually consulted with another Attorney before meeting Carolyn and the experience left me very anxious. Carolyn deserves more than 5 stars. Personally, from my first phone call with Carolyn, she put me at ease. She laid out the process in a way that I could understand and gave me a list of information to pull together - whether or not I chose to hire her. I am so glad I made the choice to work with her. Carolyn balanced being very empathetic to my emotional state and also bringing the focus back to the matter at hand in order to make progress. Professionally, Carolyn is expert in her field, very thorough and her follow up and follow through is outstanding. She quickly drafted an equitable settlement agreement that didn't change much from draft to final copy. Because of circumstances beyond her control, the divorce process took over a year but she kept me informed throughout. The settlement agreement she drafted served as a guide, for me and my ex-husband, of things we had to address. By the time of the divorce hearing most everything in the agreement had been settled! Many times Carolyn would call me to check on me and see how I and my children were adjusting to our new normal. I cannot express enough, Carolyn truly had my best interests at heart and she is the person you want in your corner!
Carolyn Goodman not only lives up to but also exceeds the supportive, thoughtful and vigorous representation as mentioned in her bio! She was my champion during this difficult period of my life. She was always available (I can't stress this point enough) and she was very understanding and extremely knowledgeable and professional. She thoroughly explained each step of the process to me and got me past every hurdle. Carolyn is a true advocate for her clients and her work is a perfect representation of that dedication. I highly recommend her!
I can’t thank Carolyn enough from start to finish with my divorce. Going through one of the most difficult times in a persons life, she was personable, knowledgeable and approachable with any concerns I might have had. Thank you
I reached out to Carolyn Goodman when it came time to put together a postnuptial. I can't overstate how great it was working with Carolyn. From our initial consultation she was always very patient with my questions, I never felt rushed to get anything done, and she always gave me in-depth and thorough responses. At no point did I not feel confident in her responses or recommendations, and she always laid out all the options. All in all, working with her from beginning to end was such a pleasurable experience for a process that often is not easy - however her advice most definitely lead to this being a painless, easy process. Finally, whenever I reached out to her with questions, she always responded quickly which was highly appreciated. I would definitely recommend Carolyn Goodman and already have to others.
I would highly recommend Carolyn -- she is a fantastic lawyer. Divorce can be a very stressful and overwhelming process. Carolyn takes the time to explain everything in a way that makes it understandable and is very knowledgeable. She is extremely organized and reaches out at every step of the process. She is also a very strong advocate for her clients. I really couldn't recommend a better lawyer.
Carolyn Goodman is an exceptional lawyer, a pragmatic problem solver and a compassionate person. I hired Carolyn for non-conflictual pre-marriage items. I found the combination of her experience, expertise and fair-minded approach to be highly effective. I enjoyed working with Carolyn Goodman and highly recommend her.
I had a personal family matter that I needed help navigating through and contacted Carolyn. She was easy to speak with, didn't try to sell me anything and offered her help. She went above and beyond and really aided me with my issue! Don't hesitate to work with Carolyn!!!! I wish I could give her 10 stars!
I highly, highly recommend Carolyn Goodman - I hired her to help me through my divorce and sale of our home. She returned my calls/emails promptly, followed up with me continuously, and I could rely on her to be my sounding board and voice of reason. I appreciated her encouragement to not let me settle for something I was not comfortable with.
Carolyn is an extremely talented lawyer and a beautiful person: highly-skilled, efficient, and helps her clients be empowered. Carolyn approaches each situation with reason and tact, and uses a holistic viewpoint to solidify her strategy. Her approach helped diffuse several high-conflict situations with favorable results for all involved. She is very responsive to messages and always professional. I am so grateful for her help and that our paths crossed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services to anyone.
Ms Goodman was helpful and thorough throughout the entire process. Both my ex and I had a tendency to drag our feet, and I can't imagine we were the easiest people to deal with, but Carolyn was always there with a friendly reminder to prod us along.
