Review John Goetz

Experience

Posted by

I have experienced a difficult--and different--sort of case for bankruptcy. Throughout this ordeal Mr. Goetz has stood by me, answering my questions, explaining different situations and outcomes, and listening to my story. Ms. Hitt, who works with him, and Mr. McMinn, his associate, have also been a tremendous help to me. I highly recommend all of these folks to you

Had to Claim Bankruptcy

Posted by

We had to claim bankruptcy and that is a scary thing to have to do. We were given an appointment right away and had everything explained to us in detail. We were able to get the process started right away. Mr. Goetz handled the whole thing and made sure we understood everything that was happening. We would highly recommend his services! The office was convenient to get to. We always had our messages returned the day we left them and he was willing to work with us on payments. Mr. Goetz walked us through the entire thing.

Help with business bankruptcy

Posted by

John was extremely helpful particularly since our first attorney had gotten us into a legal mess by not following through on negotiations, John is knowledgeable, reliable and supportive. It was a pleasure working with him. We were lucky to work with him at a very bad moment in our lives

Great Estate Lawyer

Posted by

We had John provide real estate services for us. Specifically, he drafted a a Deed of Gift for us. It was recorded in the courthouse without any delay. John is extremely nice--upon my first meeting with him he greeted me in a warm and open way. On another occasion, I called him with an inquiry; he was extremely precise and helpful on the phone. We trust him entirely and would not hesitate to use him in the future for any other legal needs. Highly recommended!
