\nI cannot recommend Chris Voltin highly enough. Faced with charges for DUI, reckless driving, and refusal to blow, my first encounter with the criminal justice system left me feeling scared, embarrassed, and overwhelmed. Thank goodness my friend recommended Chris. From our first call, he was confident and reassuring, and he remained steady, focused, and prepared throughout the process. After an incredibly stressful experience, I was found not guilty on all counts. A skilled and experienced attorney, Chris clearly knew what needed to be done to put forward the strongest possible defense, but he also gave me space to make decisions, ask questions, and trust my own instincts. I never felt pushed or dismissed but rather, respected and supported. When I made the difficult decision to reject the prosecutor\u2019s plea, Chris responded simply with, \u201calright, let\u2019s go.\u201d He was ready, and that gave me the confidence I needed to trust him and the process. I also have to especially recognize Goff & Voltin\u2019s paralegal, Lara Munoz, who is truly exceptional. Lara is one of the kindest, most compassionate, supportive, and responsive people you will ever meet. During a time of anxiety and uncertainty, the person answering your questions and helping guide you through the process matters. Lara was consistently patient, upbeat, and reassuring. She answered questions knowledgeably, acted promptly, and made me feel like I was not just another case file. Her kindness and warmth made a difficult situation feel manageable and hopeful. Lara was my first call after leaving court, and I could not be more appreciative that I was able to share my gratitude and relief with her in that moment. Chris and Lara make an outstanding team. I am deeply grateful for their guidance, advocacy, and support, and I recommend them without hesitation. If you are looking for strong, skilled, and compassionate legal representation, there is no greater firm than Goff & Voltin.

I\u2019m going to start by saying that this lawyer saved my family. I made the bad decision to have a beer or two and drive. I was pulled over and blew a .09. We went to general district court first and he fought like it was his family. We took it to circuit court and I walked out with a reckless driving. My career was on the line and I\u2019m so happy to say that he helped me keep my families livelihood and gave me another change to be a productive member of society. I have to say that I really thought that we didn\u2019t have a chance, but he has restored my faith in lawyers. Thank you Chris for saving my family and career.<\/p>\n

My attorney Mr. Goff was very attentive in responding to my calls and keeping me updated about developments in my case. In the courtroom, you will not find a more prepared, thorough, and effective litigator in his practice area. Mr. Goff provided first class legal representation without the overpriced lawyer bill. Though certainly not the cheapest option around (you get what you pay for!), I found Mr. Goff\u2019s services were a tremendous value in hindsight. Highly recommended.<\/p>\n

A friend and I were arrested the same day for the same charge. I hired Mr. Voltin and she went with a public defender. He argued my case clearly but aggressively in court. In doing so, I was given a much easier sanction and the charges were dismissed soon after. My record is completely clean now. Having been unfamiliar with the legal proceedings and processes he helped me navigate throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Mr. Voltin; he is honest, professional, dedicated, easy to talk to, and kept me informed of everything he was doing to help my case.<\/p>\n

Extremely knowledgeable, well versed, honest, dedicated and personable. Mr. Voltin would be an asset to anyone in need of a professional lawyer. This man is in this career because he has an overall passion for law and representing those in need, I personally turned to him after a reckless driving by speed charge. Almost double the speed limit and facing 12 months in jail, loss of license, my job and a $2500 fine, I walked out of the courtroom not only free and license intact but with just a small fine. Under any circumstances the outcome will vary but the odds are heavily in your favor with Mr. Voltin at bat for you.<\/p>\n
Anytime I had any questions or concerns he was prompt with a response and pulled no stops to ensure the best possible outcome for my case. Not only is he very knowledgeable in defense he\u2019s honest and professional. Those are the best characteristics I found within him, not the ONLY characteristics but those among all the other things you want I a lawyer stood out the most. I will gladly hire him again if I should ever need to do so, and I strongly encourage anyone else to do the same. Take it from me for the first time, then once you have the opportunity to have him represent you, you won\u2019t need anyone else\u2019s opinion if you too, should need a lawyer again in the future.<\/p>\n

Mr. Goff did an outstanding job in my case. He is always very diligent in returning phone calls and working on my case. While he is nice and approachable in person, he is very aggressive in court. I saw a lot of other attorneys in court and Mr. Goff was by far the best prepared and most aggressive. Highly recommended.<\/p>\n

Excellent. Mr. Voltin is an incredibly intelligent lawyer who knows exactly what he is doing and dealing with. I was facing two charges: a marijuana possession charge and an obstruction of fire apparatus charge. These were my first two charges and Mr. Voltin comfortably explained to me the many ways he can defend my case. He showed no hesitation or confusion during my trial, presenting clear points\/information to the judge. I was found not guilty and both my charges ended up getting dropped. He is also working on expunging my record. I was very satisfied with Mr. Voltin\u2019s work and his determination to help me. I recommend anyone who is looking for an attorney to consider having Mr. Voltin represent them seeing as how he is clearly knowledgeable and was very prepared for my trial.<\/p>\n

Mr. Goff handled a false allegation that my ex girlfriend made against me. Seeing him in the courtroom cross examining the witnesses was like watching Tiger Woods play golf in his prime. By the end of his questions the witness was literally stammering over his own words. He was very prepared and thorough and was extremely aggressive. He also answered all of my questions and always returned phone calls promptly. I would never go to any other attorney after Mr. Goff.<\/p>\n

Chris is incredibly motivated to put forth the best defense possible. I met with other lawyers for a free consultation about my case and no one else thought there was a way to defend me or that there was a defense worth trying. Chris found many ways to develop a defense for my case and in the end was able to get all of my charges dropped. He was very committed and I am very glad I chose him as my defense attorney!<\/p>\n

If you need a litigator, an attorney who will work hard and fight for your case, I can recommend Chris Voltin. I was facing a serious charge. Chris Voltin did not make me feel that my only option was to make a deal that would result in a permanent mark on my record. He gave me good advice on all of my legal options and let me make my own decision. He then fought for me at trial to bring the Truth to light before the judge. I was found not guilty and left the courtroom a free man.<\/p>\n

My daughter was away at college in the Newport News area when she was charged with underage possession of alcohol. After some research I stumbled upon Mr. Voltin and I could not have made a better choice for an attorney. He was very professional from start to finish. He took his time to explain the charges to my daughter and me along with the consequences if she to be found guilty. Long story short, he was able to get the commonwealth to drop the charges. No fines or community service. I hope we do not need legal help again but if we do, Chris Voltin would be the first person we call.<\/p>\n

Mr. Voltin has represented me on 3 court hearings in the Newport News Va area. I was from out of state with a child\/family case matter, and Mr. Voltin took my case with no questions or hesitation. From the first phone conversation, Mr. Voltin had my attention, very knowledgeable, and quick to get a outline and plan into action, very detailed and stays with the course of action. He\u2019s very straight forward and no bs. I trust him as a lawyer and a friend. Mr. Voltin proved my innocence in all 3 court hearings. Very professional and knowledgeable inside and outside the courtroom. Mr. Voltin is very passionate to his job as a legal representative. Let Mr. Voltin\u2019s experience be your guide, I promise you will not regret it.<\/p>\n
