Whitney Criminal Defense Attorney

Whitney is one of a group of unincorporated towns that dot the Las Vegas Valley. Whitney has had two name changes since its establishment in 1931: first as East Las Vegas in 1958, then back to Whitney in 1993. It is a small community with a history as a highway town prior to the completion of Interstate 515.

Whitney may look like the average suburban neighborhood, but it has its fair share of local problems. For one, it has a 59% higher crime rate than the national average, a cause of concern for locals and law enforcement alike.

Because of the situation, police officers are more guarded about possible crime cases in Whitney. You might even find yourself accused of committing a crime in Whitney yourself. If such a thing occurs, you should seek out the assistance of experienced criminal defense lawyer Goodman Law Group to help you deal with any Whitney Las Vegas crime charges you may face.

    "Above and beyond my expectations."

    Being faced with such a difficult situation was overwhelming, but your strategic approach and guidance provided both comfort and hope. Your commitment to my daughters case went above and beyond my expectations, and I am truly thankful for all the hard work you put into securing my daughters release from jail.

    Your legal acumen and advocacy skills are truly remarkable, and I feel fortunate to have had you and Ross by my daughters side throughout this ordeal. Your guidance not only helped my daughter regain her freedom but also provided me with a better understanding of the legal process.

    "His professional and knowledge of Las Vegas law is impeccable."
    Ross Goodman has got to be the best attorney in the Las Vegas area. When we needed a lawyer to represent our son, Ross appeared in court on his behalf and had his DUI reduced to reckless driving. His professional and knowledge of Las Vegas law is impeccable. I would recommend Ross to anyone who want excellent representation.

    "Believe me when I say, he will stop at nothing to ensure that his clients are treated fairly and defended well."
    Attorney Goodman is a very personable person who operates with the utmost professionalism. Believe me when I say, he will stop at nothing to ensure that his clients are treated fairly and defended well. Thankfully, he was able to get my charges reduced. I would recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in a similar bind.

    "I switched and hired Mr. Goodman and could not have been more impressed with the outcome. You do get what you pay for."
    I met with Mr. Goodman who answered all my questions and knew his stuff.  I decided to hire a less expensive attorney but was not happy with the progress ended up being a waste of money with the other guy. I switched and hired Mr. Goodman and could not have been more impressed with the outcome. You do get what you pay for. I should have gone with my gut reaction at the beginning that would have saved me anxiety, time, and money. Don’t make the same mistake.

    "This is the kind of attorney you don’t just recommend — you insist people hire. Worth every penny."
    Ross Goodman is, without question, in a league of his own. From our very first meeting, it was clear this wasn’t just another defense attorney — Ross is the real deal. He knows the system, commands respect in the courtroom, and he knows how to get results when it matters the most.

    To be completely honest, we didn’t hire Ross right away — and that was our first mistake. We initially went with another well-known law firm, thinking we were getting a specific high-profile attorney. But when it came time for court, instead of the person we were promised, they sent in a junior lawyer we’d never met. I couldn’t even get straight answers to basic questions, and it quickly became clear that we were just another file on someone’s desk.

    That experience made me double down and insist that we bring Ross Goodman onto the case. I had already met with him in person and had done my homework. After spending an entire afternoon watching interviews, YouTube clips, and reading about his background (and his incredible family — yes, I’m now also a fan of his dad, Oscar Goodman), I knew this was the attorney we had to have. Thankfully, we made the switch — and everything changed.

    He took a very serious situation and turned it into a manageable, strategic resolution. He negotiated a plea that avoided a felony conviction — something we honestly didn’t think was possible. That outcome didn’t happen by chance — it happened because he knows how to talk to prosecutors, how to protect his clients when the stakes are high, and how to be the very best at what he does.

    He’s not the cheapest attorney in town — and that’s exactly the point. If you’re gambling with your freedom, your record, or your future, you want someone with real experience and a proven reputation. You don’t hire Ross to hope for a good outcome , you hire him because you want the best possible one.

    This is the kind of attorney you don’t just recommend — you insist people hire.
    Worth every penny.
