Fortunately, I’ve only needed the services of an attorney once in my life. Unfortunately, my attorney for that occasion was Michael Goode. As a teenager in college, I was charged with a misdemeanor trespassing charge (for allegedly walking into a construction site to take photos). Fortunately I had photographic evidence to illustrate that the site had incorrectly labeled and secured their space and that their allegations were untrue. With these photos and not having much in the way of disposable income as a college student, I opted for a public defender and the state assigned my Attorney Goode. In presenting my photos and contradictory evidence to Attorney Goode in our pre hearing meeting, he was blown away and, verbatim, told me that “it’s rare a defendant has hard proof like you do, we’ll be in great shape.” The day of the hearing, Attorney Goode showed up close to a half hour late, incredibly flustered and out of sorts, and was chastised publicly by the presiding judge. Then in meeting with the prosecution, he completely deviated from our plan, didn’t bring up any of the evidence we discussed, and presented me with a truly pathetic no contest plea deal.

Without much knowledge or experience, I foolishly accepted the deal.

After completing the requirements set forth in the plea deal, I received a notice a year later that I was being arrested for not completing the agreement. I came to find out that Attorney Goode had failed to complete and turn in the required paperwork to conclude my case. When I called him to check on this, he was in disbelief that he just simply hadn’t done so. 

I had to appear in court to plead with a second judge to explain why the state was attempting to charge and arrest me after completing all of the requirements set forth in my plea agreement. I almost faced serious legal consequences due to Attorney Goode’s blatant incompetence. With any capable attorney, given the evidence I had, I now have no doubt that my charges would have been dropped. If you are assigned Attorney Goode as a public defender (or for some reason seek his services out of pocket) I strongly, strongly caution you to look elsewhere for representation. Your life and your future simply aren’t worth the risk.

As a teenager in college, I was charged with a misdemeanor trespassing charge (for allegedly walking into a construction site to take photos). Fortunately I had photographic evidence to illustrate that the site had incorrectly labeled and secured their space and that their allegations were untrue. With these photos and not having much in the way of disposable income as a college student, I opted for a public defender and the state assigned my Attorney Goode. In presenting my photos and contradictory evidence to Attorney Goode in our pre hearing meeting, he was blown away and, verbatim, told me that “it’s rare a defendant has hard proof like you do, we’ll be in great shape.” The day of the hearing, Attorney Goode showed up close to a half hour late, incredibly flustered and out of sorts, and was chastised publicly by the presiding judge. Then in meeting with the prosecution, he completely deviated from our plan, didn’t bring up any of the evidence we discussed, and presented me with a truly pathetic no contest plea deal.

Without much knowledge or experience, I foolishly accepted the deal.

After completing the requirements set forth in the plea deal, I received a notice a year later that I was being arrested for not completing the agreement. I came to find out that Attorney Goode had failed to complete and turn in the required paperwork to conclude my case. When I called him to check on this, he was in disbelief that he just simply hadn’t done so. 

I had to appear in court to plead with a second judge to explain why the state was attempting to charge and arrest me after completing all of the requirements set forth in my plea agreement. I almost faced serious legal consequences due to Attorney Goode’s blatant incompetence. With any capable attorney, given the evidence I had, I now have no doubt that my charges would have been dropped. If you are assigned Attorney Goode as a public defender (or for some reason seek his services out of pocket) I strongly, strongly caution you to look elsewhere for representation. Your life and your future simply aren’t worth the risk.

Fortunately, I’ve only needed the services of an attorney once in my life. Unfortunately, my attorney for that occasion was Michael Goode.
