About Alan R.
Alan R. Goodman began his academic path at Amherst College, earning a Bachelor of Arts in 1973. He continued his studies at Western New England University School of Law and received his Juris Doctor in 1977. Those years of study framed a legal career grounded in New England institutions and traditional legal training.
After law school, Goodman established his practice in Massachusetts. He is admitted to practice in that state and has spent his career working with clients on matters that arise in Massachusetts courts and administrative forums. Over time his work has required steady attention to procedural detail and an ability to explain complex legal points in straightforward terms.
Goodman has worked in a small-firm setting for much of his career. That environment has kept him close to the practical problems clients bring into an office. He has handled transactional matters, advised on disputes, and represented individuals and businesses in local proceedings. He approaches each matter with an emphasis on clear communication and practical problem solving.
Colleagues and clients describe Goodman as a lawyer who prefers to let his work speak through results rather than rhetoric. He tends to keep filings concise and arguments direct. In that way his practice reflects an older model of lawyering: thorough preparation, careful attention to precedent, and a steady courtroom presence when litigation is necessary.
He practices at A Good Law Office and continues to serve clients across Massachusetts. In recent years his caseload has involved both contested matters and negotiated resolutions, and he remains active in representing individuals and small enterprises. As of 2026 he is practicing law at A Good Law Office with a primary emphasis on matters arising under Massachusetts law.
