Jennifer S. Goldman

I have worked for many years directly in the courtroom setting, either as an assistant district attorney, a lawyer appointed by the courts to represent parents and children embroiled in courtroom battles, or as a lawyer representing individuals in divorces and custody disputes. Because I see that the court process is almost always traumatic for all parties, with costs that mount ridiculously high and emotions that escalate out of control, I embrace all dispute resolution processes that allow people to exercise control over their own case. In line with this philosophy, I mediate custody, family and CPS cases on a regular basis, and I wholeheartedly endorse the collaborative/cooperative law process. I also previously served as a City of Dallas associate municipal court judge, where I endeavored to resolve all disputes as efficiently as possible within the confines of the law. My goal with the Law Offices of Jennifer S. Goldman, P.L.L.C. is to use this experience to help people resolve family conflicts in the most streamlined, respectful and financially responsible way possible. Because my clients believe that the welfare of their children necessitates them being civil to their spouse/significant other/relative, they tend to value communication, creativity and flexibility. Ultimately, they believe that their future, as well as the child's future, is more important than the past. Awards and Honors Honors Cardozo Society's 2011 Young Leader of the Year
