About Us
The Goodman Legacy
Ross C. Goodman is a Las Vegas native who served as a Major in the U.S. Marine Corps. In 2001, Ross started a boutique criminal defense practice following his father Oscar B. Goodman who was a nationally acclaimed defense attorney. His legal career spanned 35 years and has been the focus of many books, documentaries and movies such as Casino. During these 20 years, Ross has been proud of his record of winning jury verdicts of Not Guilty, securing hundreds of dismissals, and negotiating favorable resolutions.
As a life-long resident, Ross was proud that Las Vegans voted with overwhelming confidence to elect his parents in back-to-back elections to lead Las Vegas for over 20 years. Oscar was first elected in 2001 to the first of three terms as the Mayor of Las Vegas. His mother, Carolyn Goodman, was elected in 2011 to succeed Oscar and is serving her final term as Mayor of Las Vegas. Ross is equally proud of his siblings accomplishments in the Las Vegas community serving as a Judge, Oncologist and medical family therapist in the Trauma Burn Care Unit at UMC.

Client Success Stories

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.

I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Goodman. After being arrested at EDC, I contacted him to represent me in the resulting case. I was terrified of the potential consequences, but he worked his magic and got the case completely DISMISSED - an outcome that I never even dreamed of!
After consulting with a few other lawyers in the Vegas area, Mr. Goodman's professionalism was a breath of fresh air. He clearly knows the law and is very well connected in the city. Above all else, he relentlessly projects power and confidence in his conversations, a critical trait that every lawyer should have. I can't think of anyone I'd rather have negotiating on my behalf.
