GOODMAN & GOODMAN, LLP

Distinguished Atlanta Personal Injury Attorneys

Our Attorneys

In 1989, the Goodman brothers joined forces to create their own law firm. The philosophy was simple: treat clients right and fight as hard as possible to achieve great results. We renew that commitment with every new client we represent.

Michael & Barry Goodman

Michael Goodman

Partner Lawyer

Mike has been representing victims of injustice since 1982. He has helped thousands of individuals and families who have suffered significant injuries and death from auto collisions, defective products, unsafe premises, medical malpractice, and workers’ compensation. Mike also represents individuals fighting for their fair share of contested Wills and Trusts.
Mike believes it is his mission to level the playing field for those who have been injured through no fault of their own. Once Mike accepts a case, it will be investigated thoroughly and prepared for trial. Good settlements are made when the opponent knows your lawyer will stand up for you in court and help a jury understand your case. Mike has a long track record of courtroom success. Mike has built a successful law practice through the kind referrals of many satisfied clients. He strives to build a relationship with each of his clients through meetings, phone calls, texts, and emails. Clients always have Mike’s cell number. At our firm, clients are human beings, not just case files.
Mike obtained his undergraduate degree from the University of Florida in 1979 and his law degree from Emory University School of Law in 1982. Mike has the highest “AV” rating from Martindale Hubbell. He has been recognized by his peers as one of Georgia’s premier personal injury lawyers (Georgia Trend magazine). He is frequently sought out by other attorneys to serve as litigation counsel on their cases.

Mike is a member of the State Bar of Georgia and is admitted to practice in numerous state and federal courts in Georgia, including the Georgia Supreme Court. He is also a member of the American Association for Justice, Georgia Trial Lawyers Association, American Bar Association, and the Atlanta Bar Association.

Mike is an active member of the community. Since 1999, he has served as a Trustee of the Cobb Hospital Authority, the governmental body responsible for oversight of the operations of Wellstar Cobb Hospital.

Mike practices Aikido, a Japanese martial art. He holds a 5th degree black belt and is the Chief Instructor at Aikido Association Atlanta, a non-profit school (www.aikidoaa.com). He serves on the national Technical and Testing Committees for Aikido World Alliance. Mike is married to a brilliant painter and has two wonderful adult sons. He enjoys reading literature and history and is an afficionado of the music of Bob Dylan.

Barry Goodman

Partner Lawyer

A founding partner of Goodman & Goodman, LLP, Barry has dedicated his legal career to representing individuals who have been seriously injured. Barry has over thirty years of significant experience helping people who have been injured as a result of a car or motorcycle accident, truck accident, on the job injury (workers’ compensation), defective products, premises liability, and medical malpractice. He will work hard for you to achieve justice and fair compensation. Barry is on your side and will never represent insurance companies.

Barry obtained his law degree from Emory University School of Law in Atlanta in 1987. He obtained his undergraduate degree in Accounting from the University of Florida in 1984. Barry has the highest “AV” rating from Martindale Hubbell and regularly receives extremely favorable reviews and feedback from his clients. He has an excellent reputation for his legal skills, professionalism, and ethics. Barry makes it his business to be available for his clients, and if he is not immediately available because he is in court or a deposition, he prides himself on returning client emails, texts, and phone calls as quickly as possible. Our firm does not use “case managers.” Barry is always available to speak to you personally.

Barry is an active member in good standing of both the State Bar of Georgia and the State Bar of Florida. He is admitted to practice in numerous state and federal courts in Georgia, including the Georgia Supreme Court, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals and the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.
