About

Goolsby Law Firm LLC is a multi-attorney practice based in Augusta, Georgia, built on a foundation of family partnership and deep legal experience. The firm comprises Richard H. Goolsby, Sr., and his three sons—Richard H. Goolsby, Jr., James Blake Goolsby, and Zachary G. Goolsby—each bringing distinct expertise and credentials to a broad range of legal services.

Richard H. Goolsby, Sr. brings exceptional depth to the practice as a former federal prosecutor who spent more than two decades in Augusta handling some of the nation's most significant fraud and public corruption cases. A graduate of the University of Georgia for both his undergraduate and law degrees, he represents clients in criminal defense, family law, probate, adoptions, and general litigation. His extensive federal prosecution background is particularly rare among criminal defense attorneys in the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA).

Richard H. Goolsby, Jr., recognized as a rising star in the Augusta bar, has been licensed to practice in Georgia for more than a decade and is also admitted to the South Carolina Bar. He holds degrees from Augusta University and Mercer University Law School and focuses his practice on criminal defense, family law matters, and litigation. James Blake Goolsby, a Columbia County native, practices across both Georgia and South Carolina. A University of Georgia graduate who earned his law degree from Mercer, he concentrates on divorce, child custody, adoptions, and other family law matters. Zachary G. Goolsby, also a lifelong Columbia County resident and dual-state bar member, brings credentials from the University of Georgia and its School of Law, where he served as Chief Justice of the Student Judiciary. His practice emphasizes criminal defense alongside family law and general litigation.

The firm maintains a general practice approach, serving families and individuals throughout the CSRA in divorce (contested and uncontested), child custody and support, adoptions, child and adult guardianship, criminal defense, probate and estates, wills and trusts, real estate closings, personal injury, wrongful death, civil litigation, and other legal matters. Goolsby Law Firm extends its services to clients across Georgia and South Carolina. All four attorneys are licensed in Georgia, with three also licensed in South Carolina.
