"If asked about you and your representation of me, I would say that you are very efficient, and I have used you several times over the past 10 years and that everytime I had to go in the courtroom, I had all the confidence in the world cause you were in my corner. And that we went to court 6 or 7 times and won each and every time." Scott C. (repeat client)
"I have always had a good experience with M. J. Goodwin. I am very happy and don't see myself going anywhere else if I need a lawyer. I got custody of my son and have been very pleased." Rick W. (repeat client)
"My late father loved M.J.! MJ worked hard and was successful in getting my father custody of my nephew. I am so glad we chose the right representative for my father. We were 100 % satisfied!!! I remember he said...in the past I have used these men lawyers and lost...I should have used MJ a long time ago." Jodi (relative of client on a Family Court custody case).
"I really appreciate you and your staff’s dedication and willingness to draft a buyout contract before my January 15th deadline. Your company allowed me to close on a last minute deal that was vital to the future of my company. The professionalism of you and your staff is unmatched. I will definitely use your company for future needs." Eric Gurley. (Anderson Business Owner).
"I needed an attorney that was professional and trustworthy. I needed an attorney that knew SC law inside and out. I needed an attorney that was patient and responsive. MJ Goodwin is that attorney!! She got me the results that I needed in the time frame that I wanted. In both business and personal situations, I wouldn't turn to anyone other than MJ!" Amy (divorce/custody client).
MJ Goodwin does excellent first class work. Our will was created by her and going through the process was smooth. She really knows the field and will make a will for you rather than make you fit into a will. I would highly recommend her for your families will needs. ~ Jill Jarvis
I wanted a chance to say thank you for everything. When I first entered your office, I couldn't stop myself from crying. I felt scared and alone. I didn't feel like I had any options at all, a prisoner in my own life. You are an impeccable lawyer and I know in my heart the best woman for the job. How do you thank someone for your child? Or your sanity? Thank you so much for giving me more than I can ever repay. Jennifer F.
Thank you for what all you did for me and my brother. We won't ever forget you. Timothy
