I am M. J. Goodwin. I have practiced law in Anderson, South Carolina since 1991. I am a 1987 graduate of Clemson University. I graduated from the School of Law at the University of South Carolina in 1991. I was admitted to the South Carolina Bar that same year. I began my career in Anderson as a prosecutor with the Tenth Circuit Solicitor's Office. There, I gained valuable trial experience in both the Court of General Sessions and Family Court. I opened my own firm in 1994.
One of the most important decisions you will ever make is the selection of a lawyer to represent you. This is true whether you have been charged with a crime, whether you have been injured in an accident or whether you need help in a Family Court matter. Being involved in any Court proceeding is stressful. The results of any Court proceeding can be life changing, for better or worse. The lawyer you select should be experienced in the area of law you need, respected among her peers, knowledgeable in the law, skilled both in and out of the Courtroom and passionate about the pursuit of justice.
Your lawyer should be a tough, aggressive adversary to the other party and at the same time a compassionate counselor to you, the client. I strive to be both those things for every single client.
Your choice of a lawyer can and will greatly influence the outcome of your case. You are choosing the person who will stand up for you in court and who will be there when court is over. In Family Court cases, you are choosing the person who will influence the Judge, by presenting reliable, admissible evidence. In Civil and Criminal Court cases, you are choosing the person to persuade the jury in your favor. In Criminal Court, you are choosing the person who stands between you and a potential jail cell. This is not a choice to be made lightly or on the basis of some slick advertisement. It is not a choice to be made based on the cheapest fee quote you can find. Choose your lawyer carefully. Find someone with a solid reputation and a record of success.
I have elected to focus my practice on trial work in Family Court, Criminal Court and Civil Court. I handle cases in Anderson, Oconee, Pickens, Abbeville and Greenwood counties.
Since 1994, I have represented lawyers, doctors, law enforcement officers, educators, business owners, business employees, executives, factory workers, farmers, students, government employees, sales personnel, store clerks, mechanics, laborers, home makers, custodians, the unemployed, the disabled and the mentally ill. My clientele is extremely diverse: from millionaires to the very poor. My clients find themselves with a wide variety of legal problems that demand attention to detail and a creative, legal solution.
While I continue to accept new clients, I cannot accept the case of every person who seeks my help. If for some reason I am not able to take your case, I will gladly refer you to other competent counsel.
I am dedicated to the ideals of our Founding Fathers. I firmly believe that a citizen's access to the Courts is crucial to our society. I focus on personal service and in getting the evidence needed to accomplish my client's goals in Court. If you need legal assistance with a divorce, a child custody, visitation or support matter, an adoption, criminal charges, a car wreck or other accident, please call me at 864-375-0909 and schedule an appointment.
