About Goodall Law
Experienced, Effective, Affordable Criminal Defense
Peter D. Goodall
Attorney
Peter Goodall developed an interest in law while serving as a volunteer prison chaplain in the late ’90’s. He worked with many long-term inmates at the Utah State Prison in an ecclesiastical capacity and garnered an interest in the criminal justice system while doing so. He graduated from the Thomas M. Cooley Law School, Magna Cum Laude, in 2002 on a full-tuition academic scholarship. He worked for some of the best criminal defense firms in the Intermountain West for seven years before founding Goodall Law Offices in 2009.
Peter regularly involves himself in the politics of protecting civil rights outside the courtroom. He served for several years on the Legislative Committee of the Utah Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers where he coordinated his efforts with those of the ACLU, the libertarian group, Libertas, and individual state legislators in order to change Utah’s laws to better protect her citizens from unwarranted governmental intrusion.

He served for several years on the Legislative Committee of the Utah Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers where he coordinated his efforts with those of the ACLU, the libertarian group, Libertas, and individual state legislators in order to change Utah’s laws to better protect her citizens from unwarranted governmental intrusion. He now works as an activist for the “People’s Justice Forum” engaging in the same forms of political involvement.
While Peter has dedicated his career to defending people in the courtroom, his passion is for public service. He has volunteered for many years at the Utah Aids Foundation, the Volunteers of America Homeless Youth Outreach Center, and the Hope Medical Clinic where he works as a Certified Nurse Assistant, helping to provide free medical care to uninsured and poverty-stricken families in Midvale, Utah.
Peter writes novels that may be found through various online publishers. He is also a singer/songwriter who performs with his folk/rock band, Vinyl Visions, at bars, venues, and coffee shops along the Wasatch Front. When he is not at the gym, writing novels, playing music, lobbying politicians, or engaging in the practice of law, he enjoys spending time with his two daughters at their home in North Salt Lake, Utah.
