Barry J. Goodman has devoted his professional life to keeping courthouse doors open for victims seeking justice. Always a tireless advocate for his own clients, Goodman sees his responsibility as a Detroit personal injury attorney in a broader sense as well. He has been very active politically, supporting candidates who share his belief in equal access to justice and taking leadership roles in professional organizations. He received a scholarship to attend Bradley University, receiving his undergraduate degree there in 1974. He then attended Stetson University College of Law where he earned his J.D. with honors in 1977. Barry launched his legal career in Florida with a small general-practice firm where he stayed for two years before moving to Michigan. The firm's practice has continued to concentrate on plaintiff's personal injury cases and over the years, Goodman has recorded some impressive achievements. He has served as a delegate to three Democratic National Conventions and on the finance committees of President Barack Obama and democratic presidential candidate John Kerry. In 2012, he was named to the Democratic National Committee. Barry is a member of the Michigan and Florida State Bar Associations.
