About
I concentrate my practice on business and personal taxation issues, including domestic and international estate planning, the administration of trusts and estates, closely-held business planning, and issues affecting the elderly.As a trust and estate attorney I advise clients on estate planning techniques aimed at ensuring that assets pass to the intended beneficiaries, while minimizing the state and federal tax burdens by creating charitable trusts and foundations, planned gifting programs, and drafting wills, trusts, powers of attorney and living wills.As an elder law attorney I handle general estate planning issues and counsel clients about planning for incapacity, and assist clients in planning for possible long-term care needs, including nursing home care, and assist with coordinating private and public resources to finance the cost of care.I also counsel closely-held corporations including high-tech companies and other businesses on a variety of issues including tax strategies and succession planning.In order to share my expertise more widely with clients and the greater public, I write and speak on business and estate planning and related subjects at seminars sponsored by various business, community and civic organizations. My legal experience also includes serving as a law clerk for New Jersey Supreme Court Chief Justice Deborah T. Poritz. I am fluent in Spanish.

I worked with Elga on a complicated estate matter that was protracted and involved difficult negotiations. Throughout this very lengthy (and emotional) process, I found her to be a dedicated advocate and strategic partner. Elga's counsel was always sound and objective, and her staff is equally professional and ethical. I highly recommend her.
My wife and I recently updated our wills with Elga Goodman's expert guidance. She was deeply familiar with the relevant changes to the estate tax laws, and effectively incorporated our personal prefernces regarding family inheritance. We were very satisfied with the process and results.
Elga was very professional and did an excellent job in drafting a Will for me and a trust for my family.
Elga Goodman is a consummate professional with a heart and soul. She prepared will, trust and additional documents with thoughtfulness and concern about my particular concerns. She then did the same for my hospitalized brother-in-law in most accommodating fashion.
Elga treats you like I assume she would a member of he own family. I did a fairly complicated trust and Elga took the time to answer all of my questions and explain everything to me in simple terms. I highly recommend her!
Elga Goodman is organized, patient and the definition of the word "professionalism". I have total confidence and know that I am in the best of hands when working with Elga. Her dedication and stellar work ethic is only matched by her outstanding staff. Martha is her right hand and is helpful, understanding and knowledgable. Losing a spouse is a life-changer and having confidence in the person handling your most personal matters is peace of mind beyond words. Elga and her staff get the job done to perfection. If you are looking for "quality", look no further. She's the best!!
It has been wonderful having such a competent and sympathetic lawyer when dealing with very sensitive matters. I would totally recommend her to anyone in need of superior estate planning or guidance with the federal or state regulations regarding estate and inheritance issues.
Ms. Goodman performed legal services related to estate planning and guardianship needs for my parents. She handled all of our requirements professionally and courteously, and she was attentive to our questions and concerns.
Ms. Goodman and her entire team were informative, responsive and genuinely concerned with our best interest. I would highly recommend this law firm for estate planning, especially for issues related to elder law. They were able to successfully provide all of the services that we needed in a timely manner.
Ms. Goodman and advised and guided me through the process where I was the executrix of a friends estate.
