Experience

1. President

   Goodman Law Center, Pc

   Mar 2019 — Present

   I am fired up about the vision for my new firm. The new Goodman Law Center will focus on patent and trademark law, which is where I have the most expertise and passion. I will be focusing on levering technology and systems at a much higher level than most law firms do. This will allow the new Goodman Law Center to provide great customer service, be more responsive and accessible, boost efficiency, and dramatically reduced firm overhead. Law firms are often astonishingly slow adapters of technology and new ways of doing business. I want to be on the cutting edge. Also, most fees will be flat rather than billable hours. This simplifies the process for clients and the firm. I would love feedback.
