Anthony's Philosophy

One of the most difficult, stressful, and terrifying moments in your life is when you are arrested or receive notice of a prosecution against you.  Why is it so stressful?  Aside from the fact that you may be incarcerated, when you are criminally charged the only barricade between you and the full weight of the Commonwealth is your attorney.  At first it may seem daunting when trying to find adequate representation but we at The Law Offices of Anthony F. Godshall make that search easier.  The Law Offices of Anthony F. Godshall was founded to ensure that every person is guaranteed effective, passionate, and affordable legal representation.

Our philosophy is that everyone deserves top-notch representation at an affordable price.  For far too many the inability to afford representation, or disqualification from the Public Defender's Office, means that they try to defend themselves.  Unfortunately this affects many working-class people and can lead to disastrous results.  As part of our founding purpose we will work with you so that you can rest easy knowing you have a passionate, effective, and affordable attorney.

Anthony F. Godshall, Esq.

Founding Member

Anthony F. Godshall was born, raised, and educated in the Philadelphia area.  After completing high school at a combination of Upper Moreland and William Tennent, attended Temple University where he studied early to mid-20th Century American History.  Anthony graduated and entered the workforce as a claim’s specialist but after a few years he realized he would only feel fulfilled if he could help others.  Anthony then attended and graduated from Temple University’s Beasley School of Law where he completed numerous criminal law courses, which included practical work with various state and federal criminal law agencies, he received a certificate in Trial Advocacy and Litigation, and was appointed a Fellow of the Rubin Public Interest Law Honor Society.  In addition to his education, Anthony is also a proud graduate of the National Criminal Defense College.

Anthony grew up in a working-class home and had his first job when he was 13 years old.  As a worker, Anthony understands  the difficulties a criminal case can have on someone's life, especially during the job hunt.  The ability to pay should never be the deciding factor when it is someone's life and well-being on the line.  One of Anthony’s goals is to ensure that all working-class people are afforded high quality representation during one of the most difficult moments in their lives.

While there is a lower class, I am in it, while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.

Diligence

Diligence is not an abstract term but the way in which an attorney can be diligent varies. From calendaring deadlines, to keeping the client informed, to anticipating the course of the case, a diligent attorney recognizes the importance of these tasks and works towards achieving the anticipated goal.


Here at The Law Offices of Anthony F. Godshall we strive to anticipate opposing counsel’s legal contentions and factual arguments, to ensure that you are informed of any case deadlines, and to provide open and honest communication.  You can rest-assured that you will be kept aware of any developments in your case.
