A consummate professional who delivers exceptional results

When our municipality faced a complex and high-stakes insurance coverage dispute following a significant infrastructure incident, we turned to David Goodman. His deep, 24-year expertise in both municipal law and insurance litigation proved invaluable from the outset. David, of Burch, Porter & Johnson, didn't just react to the insurer's denials; he meticulously deconstructed their position, leveraging his recognized standing in these exact practice areas. His strategic counsel was both pragmatic and formidable, clearly informed by decades of navigating similar challenges in the Memphis legal landscape. Throughout the process, his professionalism was unwavering—he was consistently accessible, explained intricate legal concepts with clarity, and managed the litigation with a steady hand. The outcome was a highly favorable settlement that far exceeded our initial expectations, securing our municipality's financial position. David Goodman is precisely the caliber of attorney you hope to find: immensely knowledgeable, strategically sharp, and genuinely dedicated to his client's success. His recognition by Best Lawyers is well-earned, and we are profoundly grateful for his exceptional representation.
