Bainbridge Island attorney, teacher & author

Welcome to the home page of John Eiler Goodwin, attorney, author, teacher and resident of Bainbridge Island, Washington.

The Washington State Trial Lawyers Association and the California APWU consider me to be an expert on the Federal Employees' Compensation Act. My position allows me to advise injured federal civilian workers before the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs and before the Employees' Compensation Appeals Board and to conduct seminars for doctors,lawyers and union officials. business card

The statute is called the Federal Employees' Compensation Act, 5 USC � 8101 et seq. The regulations can be found at 20 CFR � 10. et seq. I sit on the Board of Directors of the Federal Employees' Compensation Association and edit its newsletter. I am the author of "An Introduction to The Federal Employees' Compensation Act." For information on the new regulations see the Federal Employees' Compensation Act web site.

I am a graduate of Pacific Lutheran University (BA cum laude), the University of Washington (MA & PHD Candidate) and the University of Puget Sound School of Law (JD cum laude). I am a member of the Washington State Bar and have been admitted to practice in the U.S. District Court, Western District Of Washington.

I am a 62 year old, heterosexual, married father who loves ballet, classical Greek theater, textual criticism, first run films, Disneyland, sports, the beardless runner at the Mercer Island Half Marathon, fine dining, the outdoors and travel to Russia.

I have been told by my wife, Lilia, that I give great back rubs.

My 14 year old daughter, Alina, who lives on Bainbridge Island, attends Sakai middle school and my 5 year old son, John Jr. attends pre school on the Island. Their mother Lilia is from Russia and is my lover and best friend. My two daughters from a previous marriage are Jessica and Kimberly. The two older daughters have both been in Bainbridge Performing Arts. My extended family includes my father and various aunts and uncles and cousins. My mother, God rest her soul, passed away in September of 2002. See my business home page for additional pictures and a more extended biography.
