Angela was recommended to me by a coworker whom she represented in a custody dispute. With Angela's representation, he was able to become the custodial parent and got the custody agreement that was in the best interest of his son. On his recommendation I contacted Angela and I am so thankful to have her represent me. My family court case has been nothing short of complicated, stressful, and difficult but she has provided the guidance and skill needed to keep me and my child safe. My ex-husband has a history of domestic violence and abuse, deals with mental health issues, and tries to threaten, bully, and manipulate people to get what he wants. For years he's been attempting to bully and threaten Angela, but she has not been intimidated and continues to successfully represent me without missing a beat. She's a strong person who stands up for what's right. I would definitely recommend Angela to my friends and family if they ever find themselves in need of representation in family court. read more

Angela definitely lives up to her reputation as a bull dog in the court room!!! In 2018 my husband's ex-wife came at him, 5 years after his divorce, wanting more money. I did so much research and Angela's reviews exceeded her. My husband later developed cancer, passed away and I chose to keep Angela in the fight as his ex fought for money from him even after death. We had our trial and as Personal Representative of his estate I stood for him. We won hands down and the ex, 6 years later, got nothing. Angela is very quick, has a great memory and knows her stuff!!! She's amazing and can be trusted with your case!!!! Thank you Angela from the bottom of my heart!!! I know Jeff was smiling down at us!!!! read more

Wilson-Goodman Law Group - Client - Divorce & Family Law Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Angela has been great for me since 2017. I was referred to her though my real estate agent. I was given emergency custody. I still have sole legal decision making to this day. I will keep her on retainer if I ever need her again. She will answer emails and phone calls late into the night or even half way around the world on vacation. Her clients matter to her. She is a bull dog in the court room. She fights for what she believes is right. Follow her advice! I didn't at first and I wish I did sooner. You may not like it but trust me and my results! Don't listen to all these other reviews. Seems like a bit of bitter opposing parties..... read more

I was referred to Angela thru a co-worker, and I'm so grateful! She is amazing at what she does, very knowledgeable about the process, and most importantly fights for and protects her clients! She will answer emails at all hours of the day or night, and truly cares. I would highly recommend her simply because she truly goes above and beyond to make sure you're supported in every step and turn. I can't thank her enough for getting me through this process! read more

Such a well run office despite the chaos divorces cause. I've gotten the pleasure to use Angela for my own divorce (which she handled exceptionally over a decade ago) . Over the years I've been appointed on several divorce home sale cases she's been a counsel on. That's where I've gotten to see the care , respect and timeliness of her and her staff to all parties involved. Plus, she usually has some great and creative ideas that are mutually beneficial to all in settling a dispute. read more

I was recommended to Angela by a friend and for you reading this review I can say don't hesitate to get her on your case! (I should had acted sooner) There is a meme in her office of a homeless man who is in that position cause he didn't have Angela on the case. As funny as this may be it could possibly be true. Not getting into the details of my case I will say my ex and her lawyer didn't have the outcome they were hoping for due to Angela fighting on my behalf. She is a pit bull in the court room!! No nonsense, straight business, highly experienced and a solid team looking out for your best interest. You already made an unwise decision with ur partner so stop self sabotaging and choose wisely this time! Personally I would recommend anyone going through it to Angela. Both my friend and I are happy with the outcomes during such a horrible stressful time. It was a long arduous road but the dirty work is done and I rest much more easier at night. Wishing u the best in your new life as well. read more

The question is where do I begin? Family is everything to me, being there for your child, ensuring you make the right decisions and securing your future. Making sure that you have the solid foundation with the right support is essential when you are a parent. Angela and her team helped me with just that. I'm a young single dad working to give my son the best life I can, walking into a family law legal situation was the last thing I would expect to be in. However, Angela and her team made this easy for me. I don't know family law, but I understand as a parent what I need to do. Angela helped me lay down the foundation I needed when the opposing party was doing everything they could to bring me down. Angela was there, fierce, solid, quick and effective was her style and it worked. Angela since the moment I talked to her gave me the reassurance I needed that she would be able to get the job done and she did just that. She didn't wait days or weeks to communicate anything or get the job done, it was all handled within a timely manner. Towards the end of my case I had to withdrawal from Angela due to financial reasons on my end, however Angela did not just step aside immediately. She reminded me the foundation she helped create, what I need to do next and help me find the confidence within myself to finish this case out on my own. Because of everything she had helped me over the duration of time we were together, I was able to close the case out myself, stand firm in what I knew and what I wanted to ensure that I got the best results for me and my son. That old school saying that words will never be enough to thank someone for all there help is true. Angela did more for me than she will ever know. Yes that's her occupation is to help clients, but with her she treated it like it was family and ensured that I finished the finish line strong and I did just that. Anyone has any questions please reach out to me, anyone wants more amazing feedback on Angela and her team, reach out. I am an open book and for me communication is the key on everything. Thank you again Angela for everything. read more

Situations that require lawyers aren't rainbows and kittens -- and I wasn't expecting such. But my experience with Wilson-Goodman has been absolutely abysmal by any measurable standard. First, the billing 'issues'. Mistakes happen, but my experiences at this firm would cause me to have a strict inspection of all invoices. I experienced multiple mistakes, delays and missed opportunities to resolve my legal matters. Second, the absolute lack of progress. I can't explain why, just that it took a significant amount of time with minimal results. To the point where I had to employ another firm to contribute representation. read more

I was not sure when I was going to see my daughter again. I was scared, and I was not sure what to do...But thanks to WGLG; I can now plan a better future for my little girl. Co-parenting can be difficult. It is good to have guidance and support. Angela and her team cultivate an environment to create essential focus during high-stress and high-value situations that concern the family. My daughter needed the best, and that's what we got. read more

I have been using Angela and her team for over 13 years. Her knowledge has help me go through my divorce when faced with challenges time after time. She is 100% fully invested in her clients and has always had their best interests as a priority. I would choose Wilson-Goodman law over anyone if you want a team to help you with any of your legal issues. read more

Wilson-Goodman Law Group is absolutely amazing. Angela and her team display complete dedication to their clients no matter what. Angela helped me obtain what was most important to me, custody of my son. Angela even handled my case during emergency preceding's that were taking place during her vacation. Angela and her team dedicated countless hours putting together all of the paperwork and preparing to take on a mess of a case from sunrise to sundown, with extremely short notice, even while she was on vacation. She answers emails in a timely manner and shows compassion towards her clients and the things that they are experiencing throughout the case. Angela and her team have made a terrible situation a positive one. Angela was extremely straight forward and informative throughout my entire case and has always gotten me the outcome I had wanted. I have been a client of WGLG for nearly two years and the compassion and commitment that her whole firm provides throughout these stressful times is nothing short of incredible. Angela's unwavering devotion for her clients is demonstrated by all of the awards that she has been given, and rightfully so! When she takes on the court room she is tenacious, poise, and concise. Angela absolutely dominated the court room every time and protected my family and I against false claims from my ex by presenting all of the facts. She takes charge in the situations that are presented throughout the hearings and leads the way with grace and attention to detail. My interactions with Angela were always positive even in negative and earth shattering situations. Angela was always straight to the point, but never failed to be witty and jovial, which always made the situations I experienced throughout the case much easier to handle. Choosing an attorney to take on a case that involves your children can be meticulous and nerve wracking, but when it comes to making this life changing decision, I can assure you that you cannot go wrong with WGLG. You simply could not make a better decision and my case and experience with Angela and her firm is proof of that read more

I called to inquire about this firm handling a potential case for me. I am a senior and reside in Florida so I found them on the internet. I called and spoke with Hannah who said Angela is great and that she can handle my case. She told me that it would be $200 for a 30 minute phone consultation. We scheduled a time and she sent me a link which I promptly paid. She asked me to send any documentation I had so that Angela would have it for our consultation. I sent everything to Hannah so we would be ready for the consultation. Less than an hour before my scheduled time to speak with Angela, Hannah called me and told me that the amount of information I had could not be handled in a 30 minute phone consultation and that I would need to pay an additional $200 for the projected time that they felt it would take. Hannah sent me the link which again I promptly paid. I called at my scheduled time and was transferred to Angela. She was nice however I cannot say that I felt that she would be the right advocate for me. We were only on the phone for about 20 minutes so I called the office and talked to the office manager Sherry and stated that I was only on the phone consultation for less that the original 30 minute time slot and I would like to me refunded the additional $200 I was charged and did not use. Sherry tried to tell me that the additional $200 was for Angela to review ALL of my documentation prior to me phone consultation which is completely contradictory to what Hannah told me to get me to pay the additional $200. They did refund $80 that day but I have requested that the additional $120 be refunded and they are refusing to do so. I explained I do not appreciate someone being unethical and not being truthful with me. I am tired of being taken advantage of and this is wrong. So this office needs to do the right thing since they know they are in the wrong and refunded $80 and refund the additional $120 that was unused since the phone consultation lasted exactly 21 minutes! read more

Tiffany and Lisa helped me immensely with my divorce. My case was a difficult but they were able to present the evidence needed to prove my case. Im very grateful for their diligent work in my case. read more

When choosing a family law attorney it can get overwhelmingly. Kristy Atanasov was attentive, responsive and fought for what was right when it came to my family matter! With Kristy and the Wilson-Goodman law group in my corner I feel like the process was easy and I felt supported! read more

Angela and her team helped me with some court proceedings. They did their job they best they could

Wilson-Goodman Law Group did an incredible job helping me out through the tough times getting through my divorce.

Angela is an outstanding lawyer, a phenomenal person! Angela is stern and direct! I would recommend her in a heart beat. All her awards definitely approve of justice! Thank you! "Wilson-Goodman Law" read more

Avoid this attorney at all costs. She violated ER 1.2 of the Superior Court Rules of Professional Conduct when you refused to file an objection to the alleged agreement. ER 1.2(a) states, inter alia, that a lawyer shall abide by a client's decision whether to settle a matter." Angela billed excessively and ultimately authored a parenting agreement that so grossly favored the other party that it ultimately cost me over 1 Million dollars and the loss of basic parenting privileges awarded most people who have competent representation. read more

Do not hire Angela Goodman for a divorce. I will give overwhelming reasons why not to hire this person. First let's start off with this LINK article from Phoenix New Times newspaper. Click the link below. https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/angela-wilson-goodman-gilbert-lawyer-has-law-license-suspended-for-failing-to-play-fair-in-her-own-court-case-6650666 A Gilbert lawyer's State Bar license will be suspended for 30 days because of her bad behavior as a defendant in a lawsuit. Angela Wilson-Goodman, who started her own firm in 1997, specializes in commercial litigation and "general business advice," according to her Web site. If she gives good advice, though, she apparently didn't follow it after being sued for "contract damages." Wilson-Goodman blew off "multiple" court dates related to the lawsuit, and ignored a court order to turn over information about the case, says a bulletin by the State Bar of Arizona. During the lawsuit proceedings, a judge found Wilson-Goodman in contempt and sanctioned her. A Bar investigation followed, and through a consent agreement she acknowledged that she'd knowingly violated rules and dissed the judicial system. Her 30-day suspension begins on March 31. She'll also be put on a one-year probationary period by the State Bar and will have to pay $1,200 to pay back the cost of the investigation. OK my story begins. I wanted a divorce and got one using Angela and cost me $36K. I worked in a warehouse and ex-wife stay home mom. Purchased a home before my marriage. The divorce was stretched out for 2.5 years and no end in site. The billing just kept coming and coming. I texted my ex asking when is this divorce ever going to end? My ex said what are you talking about we've been divorced for a 11 months. I was never told i was divorced!! Over 2.5 years waiting for this to end. Lawyer type language bills never ending. It's a scam. When i found out i owed my ex $25K. Angela gave me the only advice ever. She said quote: "Well if your thinking of selling your house now would be the time." I said no way. I'll pay payments. It clicked why she wanted me to sell my house. It's to continue billing me forever. Angela gives no advice or coaching help. I had to pay my ex's attorney a portion of the divorce. My ex didn't pay a portion of my attorney. Angela agreed to everything the other party asked for. I got zero. If you hire Angela Goodman the only thing you'll get is billing forever and be miserable just like her. I argued in the beginning about advice or help what should i do what should i do? It was like talking to the wall behind her. I started getting angry thinking if I'm doing all he work why did i hire you?. I said quote: "Who's side are you on?" Eventually i found out who's side she's on. Herself sucking money out of me. I received yet another $4.8K bill and refused to pay it. This bill was 11 months after my divorce. We argued and argued. I said, "I want in writing this is the last bill no more bills." I paid it and got the email. -----This Letter is to confirm what was discussed via email. You will NOT be bill anymore after you make your payment of $4808.34. Please call the office at (480) 503-9217; for your convenience we accept all major credit cards. If you prefer to make your payment online, you may do so at the following link------ She said if i write a bad review online it would be defamation of character. I said why are reviews even online. So here i am writing the truth and what i went through. She's ruthless, no heart, noticeably angry 24-7 con artist. If you hire this women you will be broke. Angela will be taking a vacation to Greece or somewhere using your money. Every person walking into that divorce office is a sucker. And last. All the good reviews here are fake. Angela gives a discount to you only if write a good review before the divorce wraps up. Little do they know the bills keep coming and coming never ending. If Angela Goodman knowingly violated rules and dissed the judicial system, she will knowingly violated rules of your rights and try to steal as much money as she can from you. Stay away from her office. read more

Not sure about the negative reviews but Angela was always fair and did an excellent job for me. While I hope to never need her services again, I give her the best rating as I think highly of here and services. read more

Tiffany and Sophia were so amazing to us and our adoption case! Sophia jumped in after another paralegal wasn't really answering our questions or returning our emails not really sure on what was happening with them at that time but very grateful for Sophia coming in. She was very quick to Respond to our questions and helped us understand the process. She was absolutely a sweetheart. So very grateful for Sophia to work so hard on our case and everything worked out just perfectly. We didn't get a chance to meet Tiffany because we decided it would be better for our budget if we could have Tiffany call in during court but as soon as court was over we were able to talk to her and she was absolutely amazing and so sweet and let us know that she was always over our case looking out for everything. This is been a long time coming for my husband and I and coming into this firm it was all over within a couple months we're so grateful for that. Thank you again Tiffany and Sophia for all your hard work and compassion. We'll always be very grateful for you both!! Thank you!! read more

Aarti is not only professional but she is so kind and understanding. She was always straightforward with me throughout my entire litigation. I had a pretty unique situation and she did an amazing job standing up for me to the opposing attorney. read more

This firm was prompt, supportive during my divorce process! My attorney Angela Wilson was wonderful and very thorough!

Going through a divorce is never easy, especially when the opposing party wants to bury you into the ground (figuratively speaking). I'm sure most people going through a divorce have no past experience or even know who to turn to. I went to three different law firms until I chose Wilson-Goodman Law Firm. Haley Terrell represented me for my case and couldn't have been more pleased with the choice I made. Her professionalism, extensive knowledge, explanation of laws, and her availability went above and beyond my expectations! Not to mention that she wouldn't take action until I fully understood the outcome of my decisions or make a move without my consent. It was a very emotional period in my life, where Haley just to simply say, made me at ease. Katie Powers, one of the paralegals at the firm, also was extraordinary helpful with questions that I had and also made it effortless to relay information to whomever needed it at the time. A thank you couldn't possibly cover the service that I had at Wilson-Goodman Law Firm. I seldom write reviews and everyone has their own experiences with service in all aspects of business. If you are looking for a law firm, I would highly recommend Wilson-Goodman to fight in your corner! Thank you everyone at Wilson-Goodman Law Firm!! read more

2 minutes ago Wilson- Goodman Law Group, PLLC. is hands down the best law firm there is. Professional, Dedicated, Kind, Compassionate, Caring, and Understanding are just a few of the traits that come naturally to all employees when you work with anyone in this law firm. You can not go wrong when you choose someone from this law firm to represent you. Family law and divorce is hard, confusing, and stressful without the help of lawyer. This firm takes that stress away, eases your mind, and really treats you as family. They work with you. You are a priority to them, they do not brush you aside, or treat you as a burden. Your worries are their worries. They fight for you and what matters to you. They know the law inside and out and prove that over and over in the courtroom. I only have amazing things to say about this firm. Every single person in the staff that I have come into contact with while going through this process has been helpful in every way shape and form. You can not go wrong when you choose this firm! read more

I've been stressing over a bad situation recently. I wasn't with Angela for more than 20 mins before she had my mind at ease. I look forward to working with her and I'm very confident she will represent me in a positive manner. Follow up coming later. Great so far. read more

I felt ike they handled my case with not only care, but always went the extra mile for me. I noticed this from my consultation forward. I tried out a few different free consultations, and noticed that Haley was more concerned with answering my questions and meeting my needs than she was keeping an eye on the clock. Thats how I knew she was the right Attorney for me. She kept everything real and reasonable and were even able to joke and laugh and actually have a personality. Even though sometimes I took a few reminders to get them something, katie was always friendly and easy to talk to. It was as great of an experience as it could have been, and I highly recommend working with this dynamic team! read more

I had a very good experience with Wilson-Goodman law group. Angela's decades of knowledge in legal matters are invaluable when dealing with a difficult legal situation. She has put together an amazing team and with her experience at the core, has created an amazing group of capable attorneys. I spent over two years with Angela and her team. She was able to represent me through a difficult divorce with hostile attacks from the opposing lawyer. In court, I was relieved to have one of Angela's team representing me with calm, sincere and intelligent communication. During settlement meetings, Angela dominated the environment and led the way. She took advantage of a situation created by my ex-wife's lawyer and created a settlement meeting which caught the hostile lawyer off balance. Her ability to take advantage of that situation, which finally presented itself after years of careful defense, was amazing. In one 8 hour session, she was able to take the two years of work and create a settlement that met my needs. Two years earlier, I would have been begging the judge for fair treatment and getting none. Angela and her team helped me create the fair treatment that I deserved through careful choices. At times the situation required making sacrifices, like agreeing to a family evaluation. But in the end, those sacrifices helped gain leverage and legal equity that led to a settlement. During the actual settlement negotiations she was a force to be reckoned with. She also helped me determine what was important to me, including what I could give on a little to make the settlement work. Through all of this, Angela was fun to communicate with. She was witty, frank and often light-hearted. Angela is quick to the point and gives thoughtful, helpful answers to my inquiries. Angela's matter-of-fact, "tell it like it is" style was very refreshing and reassuring. She was quick to respond, even during the evening. I got answers when I needed them throughout the whole process. I needed Angela Wilson-Goodman law group and anything less then their experienced representation could have had such a negative impact on my life. The custody and time with my kids, retirement, equalization for the house and so much money lost in child support and property were all at stake and I could have lost so much. It was so close to being taken from me by an aggressive lawyer and a hapless court system with no understanding of my situation. The court would rule against me just to protect from the possibility that the false claims were true. I was on the edge and Angela Wilson-Goodman and her team fought with me and protected me from disaster. Thank you so much to Angela, Tiffany, Lisa, Haley and all the rest. read more

Highly recommend Angela and her team. Good communication, sound advice and counsel - a real advocate for her clients. She was referred to me by someone who had gone through the process previously, and knew that her firm would be a "good fit" for my situation. Guess what? I owe him a beer for the referral! Now that it's "over", I can look back and honestly say I made the "right" choice in choosing Wilson-Goodman Law Group. read more

Nicole Baxter is the best asset this law office has, she was great and probably deserves five stars! I originally gave all my financial data, etc to an associate who left the firm and at the time was told I would be filing a Chapter 7 based on his information. I relied on his advice and the amount that I was going to be charged. A few months later (when nothing had changed my finances or bills) I turned in the paperwork and money to file the bankruptcy. Later I was informed that I would not qualifyfor a Chapter 7 but we need to file a Chapter 13. Now I realize this is all based on the law and charts however my finances had not changed thus the chapter should not have changed unless I was misinformed in the first place. I questioned this and was told that part of my finances were not listed on the questionnaire that the attorney had filled out at the time. I know for a fact I told him everything because I was concerned about the fact that I would be in the 13. After several emails and I'm sure the frustration in their office as well as my own one of their attorneys sent an email pretending as though it was supposed to be "inter office" (which we both know it wasn't) making the comment "Like we didn't already look at her income from every angle to try and find a way to make it work...Ugh!". Now I appreciate that she was frustrated but I was misinformed by their office and was paying a good sum considering I has no money. I then met with a separate attorney regarding the chapter 13 at which point he told me that they would most likely make a motion to make my payments not five years but less. That never came to pass and after the response to me being misinformed last time I didn't bother bringing it up. I did ask about other options as things continued to occur over the 5 years which they answered promptly and I appreciated. That aside the rest of my dealings were fairly nice and Nicole was fantastic. They also help me out with my divorce which I appreciated and although costly for two people who agreed on everything I do understand the work that went into it. read more

They don't allow for less than 1 star on this? I hired Alan Cochran and fired after the first proceeding. I would not recommend Alan Cochran. I ended up negotiating an agreeable settlement, on my own, without lengthy, costly litigation. read more

What can I say? Divorce sucks! Nobody likes to go through it. But if you do, I highly recommend Angela and her team. Very professional, sympathetic to your needs, and an absolute pleasure to work with. All paperwork, and other related items to my case were done in a timely and efficient manner. Angela had some great insight in the beginning of it all and helped me move forward throughout the whole process. I also worked with Dawn over there as well and she was very down to earth and helped make the process even easier. Thanks to all of you!! read more

My divorce case wasn't as challenging as others I've heard about but I felt like my case was not a priority at all...guess I figured this is just how things go with attorneys. In a nutshell, almost a year and $11,000.00+ later, I'm still not divorced. Took days, sometimes weeks to receive follow up phone calls or emails from these offices and the paralegal seemed annoyed each time I called for status updates. They usually didnt acknowledge receipt of my emails so I wasnt sure if/when they were read. They waited for deadlines to contact me just before reporting for court conferences. When I released my attorney from my case, I was told that they will charge me to file that motion as well. So I'm waiting for another bill for basically me asking for status updates and the filing of the motion to fire them. Seemed like I was being milked for time. I can't wait for this nightmare to be over. :( read more

I originally saw Angela to help with some details on my divorce case. She was very straightforward and to the point. Gave me all the info I needed, and saved me a bunch of money, I was about to spend needlessly. When I returned to the firm, to seek assistance in a bankruptcy case, they were more than happy to help me again. Nicole, walked me through all the paperwork, and guided me through the process of getting my case started. Once under way, I was introduced to William, who saw the case through to the end. Every detail was explained to me, and from start to finish, everything was handled professionally. I highly recommend this firm to handle all of your legal needs. read more

Angela was great! She was available to return my phone calls within a reasonable amount of time. She stayed on top of my case and helped me make decisions in the best interest of my children. I highly recommend her. read more

Kudos to Angela Wilson-Goodman and her Staff !! After 2 1/2 years of wading through the murky waters of my very messy divorce and resulting contempt case (against my Ex), final rulings have come down. The court did rule in my favor... all due to Angela's vast skills, focus, and persistence. I whole-heartedly recommend Angela and her team. She fought aggressively for my rights against very oppressive opposition. And she did so with grace, outsmarting opposing counsel at every turn. I am very thankful that I chose Wilson-Goodman Law Group, PLLC. And I will indeed call Angela again if I need legal services in the future. read more

It was quite a long 5 years... Nicole was my main contact. She handled the process very proffesionally, and always answered any of my questions and/or concerns thoroughly, and very quickly. read more

1st off this office will bash other attorneys as incompetent and tell you everything that they will do for you. Angela will tell you that she is the best attorney in the east valley, make you feel really good and get your business only to turn everything over to her paralegal who thinks she knows everything. She will even give you advice and add soon as she does something wrong she makes sure to tell you that she cannot give legal advice. Angela will not go to court or meetings with you and will send someone else that you have never met and thinks that it is perfect business practice. This office will send out bills that are part of the service and is included in the price that you originally pay. One of the bills was for reading a email and was charged $65.00. Then they say that they advise you on certain things, but never return casks or emails from their own client. This office should be closed and every single one of them should be disbarred. Stay away from this office at all costs. There are so many better attorneys at a better price. These people think that the client works for them and they don't work for the client. If you want things not resolved and want to get charged fees that you have already paid for you found the perfect attorney, but if you want an attorney that knows what they are doing, returns phone calls and emails, keeps you informed of the process find someone else. read more
