Our experience talking to her on the phone terrible.

It made me think of that Christopher Walken joke. "What do you call a 1000 lawyers buried up to their necks in sand? Not enough sand.

MJ just handled my Divorce. I was refered by a friend and she was Great! She kept me grounded and explained the law to me despite my emotional state. She and her staff were very professional. "Relax I got this" was her advice to me and she wasn't kidding.Thanks for everything!

If you need a dependable and honest lawyer, you need MJ Goodwin on your side. She tells it like it is and she gets it done. She knows what she's doing and really understands the law. She was very quick to respond to my e-mails, no matter what time of day. She has many clients but she still made me feel like I was her only one. Also, Joy is very friendly and helpful. I truly appreciate them both!

I couldn't have asked for a better attorney for my custody and child support case. There is no easy way to go through something that stressful, but having someone that is honest, firm and knowledgeable definitely lessens the blow. She finds reason in unreasonable situations (and unreasonable people) and often put my mind at ease even with just an email. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking help with custody, child support, visitation, or anything really. I finally feel like I have my life back thanks to MJ and Joy.

While looking for a lawyer in the Anderson area, I noticed MJ's favorable review. It turns out that the reviews were true. I appreciate everything that she has done for me. MJ and Joy were quick to respond and tried to get things done quickly as possible. If I have to go to another lawyer in the future, I would definitely consider MJ.

Divorce has .... high drama, high stress, seemingly no end, ugliness, fears and tears .... and all the while I thought my case would have been an easy one. Anyone wanting a knowledgeable attorney with ability to calm the stormy seas of divorce, ability to offer reason in unreasonable conditions, and temper the high stresses, with honesty, integrity and firmness, MUST hire MJ. She wasn’t just an attorney, she understood, she softened the pain, the hurt and the whole experience. She is firmly rooted on solid honest ground and will provide excellent counsel when all your Hell is breaking loose. She is what you need for a divorce attorney. Sorry for anyone going thru divorce. MJ softened the blow for me while giving me sound advice and service. Thank you MJ.

Atty.MJ Goodwin helped us with the family court ( parental rights and adoption case). She’s very professional and treat her clients with respect, very down to earth. She listens and talks to you. I hope I will not have any family legal issues in the future but if I do, I know who I would call to. Thank you MJ.

This woman helped change my life! My parents had an awful divorce, I met her as a15 year old child, she listened to me, believed me, and never made me feel less than. She encouraged me to push myself and break the cycle in my family.
20 years later I know this woman had a part in my success. I often stop in and see her just for a hug!

If I could give negative stars as an option I would. This attorney/GAL did a horrible job as my child’s gardian. In a 16 month span she met my child for 15 mins within just a few days of our final hearing. I also requested her to meet my child with me and come to my home, and that wasn’t even done until the judge made her do it and give a “factual” report. The previous report she gave in court was completely one sided and by law she is not to give opinions. All her report basically was, was her opinion. She made things worse by lying, changing people’s words around, and was completely unethical and unprofessional. I would not suggest anyone use this women for ANYTHING! I wouldn’t even let her represent or be a GAL for a dog. Would not, would not, would not recommend..............

I needed to have legal guardianship of our grandson registered with the court here in SC, as we had just moved in from NH. I found Goodwin Law's website and gave her a call. Attorney Goodwin was pleasant and knowledgeable about my concerns and in a short time had everything completed and filed. In the future, I will not hesitate to use her firm again.

I became separated on August 1st and found MJ around August 14th desperate for an attorney to help me negotiate a deal to save my career and the well being of my children. I knew the first time on my phone consultation I had one of the best divorce attorneys in Anderson County. She guided me through a negotiation with my wife. We had a verbal agreement in under a week and a signed financial agreement in two weeks. We wanted a quick settlement to avoid huge legal bills and preserve our future. Today is September 5th and the judge approved our agreement. It is so much easier to move on when this process doesn't drag out over a long period of time. We are now moving forward. Thank you so much MJ!

I’ve known and worked with Ms. Goodwin for well over a decade. As a forensic psychiatrist, I’ve had the opportunity to interface with hundreds of attorneys and Ms. Goodwin is, without question, one of the finest. She works zealously for her clients and is particularly attuned to the needs of children involved in her cases. She is both compassionate and highly effective. I give her my highest recommendation.

I first came to see Ms Goodwin in December 1996 while I was still serving in the US Army.
I was looking for a lawyer to service some probate for my wife’s property. I chose the correct lawyer for the job. Ms Goodwin has been our attorney for the past 24 years and she has covered all of our family law needs since. I will recommend your law firm to anyone.

Sincere thanks and support for the past 24 years

Walking a journey of difficult circumstances, I would not have wanted any other lawyer walking the journey with me. MJ always provided sound advice in times of distress or uncertainty. She always responded to emails or calls within a timely manner. I chose MJ after asking friends and coworkers who would they trust in their case. MJ proved to be trustworthy, fair, honest, and respected my judgment along this journey.

MJ Goodwin is amazing, from the first contact with Joy her Legal Assistant and throughout the entire process of my separation, mediation and final divorce agreement she was professional, caring and extremely responsive. MJ navigated me through some rough waters, skillfully and tactically, plus she is a great negotiator. Divorce is brutal for all involved, it really was wonderful working with Joy and MJ, they made a really tough time much better and the final agreement was very fair and I am thrilled!

She advised me of any matter that may or may not benefit me in future that I may wish to pursue concerning my divorce.

I highly recommend MJ Goodwin as a divorce attorney. I was an emotional wreck during most of my divorce and she brought me back to earth, and handled my outbursts and doubts with sane, concrete and constructive advice. In the end I was totally satisfied with the outcome of a very contentious divorce and I thank her for her patience and constant guidance.

Todd, has been with my husband and I for nearly (almost) about 2 years now. He is the best attorney we could ask for not only on what we started out on, but two different cases later. Joy, is just as helpful and they have became like family to us. There is never a time where he doesn't just listen my husband or I and is very accepting considering this case is primarily with my husband and the best interest of his children. I nor my husband couldn't ask for a better attorney or assistant, Joy to him.

MJ, as far as I am concerned, is not just the best attorney in the UpState of South Carolina but one of the finest people I have had the privilege of knowing. She made what I would accurately describe as the worst experience in my life, divorce, be as manageable as it could possibly be. She was very professional, knowledgeable, persistent, consistent and resilient throughout the process. She kept expectations at the appropriate levels all the time and worked very hard to achieve those expectations. She is a definite plus in the South Carolina Legal System and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking relief from the court system in a case involving separation or divorce. --gil

MJ helped me through my divorce after 25 years of marriage. I unfortunately discovered I not only was being divorced by my spouse for another woman, but that I would have to pay based on law for the privilege. MJ was kind enough to explain what I could and couldn't do, how much time it would take, and how to keep my costs down. I really appreciate her transparency and frankness. It helped everything else go a little smoother when I was not at my emotional best.

There are not enough words in the English language to express how thankful I am for MJ Goodwin. She was able to keep me grounded through one of the worst seasons of my life... never setting the expectation higher than what she could deliver. Mrs. Goodwin shed a comical light on situations without lessening their severity… often reminding me that I was stronger than I thought and that no matter what the opposition brought, we would get through this. Sure enough, we did.
Throughout my difficult divorce she was able to keep the children and their needs as the main priority. I am probably most thankful for this. Despite many upsets and personal attacks she was able to maintain composure and lead things in the direction she saw would benefit the children.
I never once felt like ‘simply a client’. The entire office staff made me feel like a priority, like a real person whose opinions and needs mattered. I highly recommend MJ Goodwin as an attorney. She is one the most authentic, honest, and kind people you will ever cross paths with and you will not regret your choice should you choose her.

I had been through two different lawyers in the last 3 years in a child custody situation. I was ready to give up when I found MJ Goodwin in Anderson. She was very attentive and understanding to my situation and went out of her way to make sure I understood the legal process we were going through. She was always available to answer any questions I had along the way and saw things through to the end. Together we were able to get the best outcome for my family. I would recommend Goodwin and Pruette for any of your legal needs.
