Saul Goodman, Esq.

About

I’m **Saul Goodman**—Albuquerque’s most affordable one-stop shop for ‘oops’ moments, parking-ticket catastrophes, and the occasional federal indictment. After graduating from the University of American Samoa School of Law (Go Land Crabs!), I pivoted from court-appointed drudgery to a results-oriented, rapid-response justice practice. In practice, that means fusing street-level empathy, cinematic flair, and a bustling Rolodex of bail-bondsmen to convert rock-solid prosecutions into plea bargains faster than you can hum my jingle. Whether it’s laundering reputations, negotiating six-figure class-action settlements, or broadcasting a 3-story inflatable Lady Liberty to drive 9,000% ROI in inbound calls, I turn legal problems into marketing opportunities—no retainer too small, no statute too arcane.
