A genuinely good guy

I have been on this website all day trying to get a lawyer who actually honor the whole "free consultation" thing. Most have either not called back or avoided it altogether. He actually gave me a real consultation where he elaborated thoroughly and gave me detailed answers to my questions. He was... generous with his time, and even recommended something against his own self-interest (told me how I can take care of my situation without the help of a lawyer). All I can say is society needs more lawyers like him.

Extremely satisfied client

Fred Goetz has provided council to me on a few legal matters that I've been involved in both personally and professionally. I'm a small business owner so I have required his services with basic day to day needs and also some more complex situations. In all aspects Mr. Goetz and his team have always... been able to achieve exceptional results and he's always met or exceeded my expectations. Fred Goetz will always have my recommendation, and I am happy to receive an email from anyone that would like a referral with some more in depth information regarding the services that have been provided to me.

Great work

Great lawyer. Helped me throughout my case and got me an outstanding deal that I don’t think any other lawyer could have gotten me.

Posted by Dev | December 29, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Hands down, Great Attorney.

Fred is not only a great attorney, he’s a great guy. I had a ticket for speeding and he had gone above and beyond to make sure that this would not affect my driving record. He got my ticket downgraded and made sure that I got a fine that was reasonable. He made the court process easy to understand (h...e explained what everything meant and explained the penalties in a down to earth, plain english fashion) and took almost all the burden and weight off my chest. I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer. When my friend received a ticket, I instantly referred her to Fred. Great Attorney, can’t say it enough

Distinguished Attorney - Jack-Of-All Trades

I hired Mr. Goetz to represent my company on a collections dispute with a default customer. We attempted to use a reputable collections agency, but after multiple follow-up conversations, we were not happy with the results after 4 months of work. One of my associates recommended Mr. Goetz. Aft...er some research on his experience and tenure as an attorney, I was convinced enough to employ him. I decided to hire his services not only because of his reputation, but also since he was local and was readily available to meet if necessary. Its been 2 months since I placed the account with his team and I am more than impressed with the results! I decided to extend his hire for all other legal matters.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
