Summer Rae Goldman

Summer achieved an excellent result for me, the result of a piercing cross-examination of the complainant which ultimately led to a dismissal of the matter. Her command of the facts of my case and her compassion for me as a wrongfully accused defendant, are the bases for my highest recommendation.

I had a great experience with Goldman Wetzel Law Firm. During my legal problems I mostly worked with Summer Goldman. In addition to providing superb services, she was very up front about their fees, costs and expectations about how my situation would unfold. They also have a friendly and helpful staff - they treated me with compassion and empathy, which is hard to find in today’s “high tech” and “fast paced” society. It was nice to find an office that takes the time to get to know me as a person in addition to providing excellent services. I have found my experience with this office to be extremely satisfying and I would recommend them highly to anyone and who needs a competent, honest and understanding attorney.

It’s such a relief. Every step of the way Ms.Goldman & her assistant Chloe been there to answer every question & give me realistic answers dealing with my federal case. The prison time I was looking at got cut down compared to the time I was actually facing. From 41-51 months to a year & a day. I’m so grateful for her, she went so hard for me & everything worked out perfectly. Satisfied with my results for sure.

Summer Goldman was a wonderful lawyer and helped quite literally save my life. Miss Goldmans expert advise, attentive work, experience and help she committed to me and my potential case saved me and ultimately gave me the best case scenario for everyone involved. While I cannot give direct details it was an accused sex crime and she committed to talking to detectives, prosecutors and all other parties to keep me well informed and safe from harm. I really can’t say it enough but I have the utmost respect and trust in summer Goldman and I believe she is a very compassionate and diligent lawyer which is hard to find nowadays.

Found myself in a less then ideal situation on the wrong side of the law. Quick action the help of Summer ended up getting the charges dropped prior to going to court. Fast response time and convenient communication along with reasonable costs. Thanks again.

I originally found Summer on Avvo for my family which involved my brother's case. He was facing 3 serious felony charges and possible prison time, due to the severity of his case. Fast forward to now, Summer and her law firm lessened all of his felony charges which means no prison time and only probation! Her excellent reviews speak for themselves, I highly recommend her to everyone! I remember my first consultation with Summer over the phone, she earned my trust since day one and I haven’t regretted my decision ever since. She even worked with us involving costs. Summer and her law firms' ongoing communication with everything involving our case is exceptional! This included all court dates by calls, email, or text. They go above and beyond your average law firm, and truly care for their clients including families. For years, our family was broken but without their help we would have never found out about my brothers medical condition or gotten him the help he needed. They helped turn a devastating time for all of us into a positive outcome. Thank you so much for all of your hard work and commitment! Me, my brother, and family cannot thank you enough for everything you’ve done!

I was arrested a year ago for a felony possession amount of marijuana. A friend of mine who was also arrested for a possession charge referred me to Summer. She responded to all of my emails and calls in an incredibly timely manner. I NEVER felt like I was out of the loop through the entire course of court hearings (even when Summer was out, Maribeth would respond on her behalf). Every question I had, she answered thoroughly; if she didn't have an answer, she would reach out to whomever and get back to me with an answer. Both, Summer and Maribeth have lots of connections across the state with various judicial entities; This helped out in my case immensely! Even when the State wanted to give me the max penalty for my first charge ever, we were able to fight it and have everything reduce to a 2 year Pre-Trial Intervention contract. I completed all the requirements from PTI contract in the matter of about 7-8 months, contacted Summer as soon as that happened. Summer was able to use her contacts and have my PTI contracted dismissed way earlier than expected. I am now working with Summer to get my record expunged. Both, Summer and Maribeth had genuine interest on the outcome of my case. I would highly recommend Goldman Wetzel Law Firm to anyone!

Summer is a great lawyer to have on your side, especially representing you! She took my Marijuana charges and was able to make what would be multiple charges into one. She clearly knows what shes doing and does it with a smile and is ambitious when it comes to helping. If it wasn't for Summer, then I probably wouldn't be able to be writing this review right now. She made the process easy for me to understand and was clear on advising on what I should do. 10/10 would recommend.

The practice at Goldman Wetzel is top notch. I hired Summer Goldman to represent me in January of 2017. Every interaction was always personable and professional, and I felt like my best interest was always kept in mind. Neither Summer, nor her associate Beth every tried to mislead me about any aspect of my case. Summer would present the facts upfront, and then very frankly discussed how the details and how they were going to be handled. She made sure I understood exactly what was going on with my case from start to finish. I was charged with a misdemeanor DUI with property damage, however due to Summer's hard work, dedication and extensive research, the charge was ultimately expunged from my record. Summer was well equip to answer any question that presented itself during the course of the trial. She was firm and confident when speaking to the judge on my behalf, however she always maintained her professionalism. I can not say enough about the exceptional service I received at Goldman Wetzel and would highly recommend to anyone in the Tampa Bay area.

I called Summer when my daughter tried to commit suicide and wound up with several legal charges. She took time to talk with me at length and was very calm and reassuring. She answered all our calls quickly and was always very understanding and truthful. Between Summer and Marybeth, they wound up going to court with my daughter many times as they chipped away at the charges, getting them dismissed. The case took over a year and they never asked for additional money. We were able to resolve the case with only probation. I can never thank them enough for all their hard work and compassion. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of legal services!

I turned to Summer Goldman because of the good reviews. She was very quick to reply back. Not only did she go above and beyond in every situation, she got my charge dropped. Highly recommended, good, kind and professional attention, excellent knowledge and experience, she helped me with my case with a fast and effective process, she always made me feel trust, confident and secure about the procees to follow in the correct resolution for my situation, I feel very satisfied with her work, I hope I never do, but if I'm in need of legal council in the future, I'll definitely be contacting Summer Goldman.

I hired/retained Summer two years ago. Even though the charge was fabricated, it was done so very well. I'm Blessed to have found Avvo and thus Summer. I pray that I'm never in such a position again, however, if so, I will immediately contact Summer without hesitation!

Summer is a great lawyer. She promptly returns all e-mails and calls. I'm a neurotic person, and she kept me at ease throughout my case. Summer got me into a program that eventually got my case dismissed. I could not ask for better legal service. Call summer if you need legal assistance. You will not regret it.

Summer knew what to say during our hearing. She knew the law and was able to bring out the evidence needed to prove our case. The questions she asked, the way she presented her evidence, was perfect. Her summation was on point and convincing. Furthermore, she was able to put us at ease to the point, win or lose, we knew we did everything the law allow us to and left it to the judge to make his ruling which was in our favor.

I researched and then hired Goldman Wetzel Attorneys once I realized my current attorney was making a deal with the prosecutor against my wishes. Summer Goldman and Beth Wetzel immediately remedied the situation. We went for a jury trial where this team of expert criminal defense attorneys proved without a doubt that I had not committed the charge of felony battery on a law enforcement officer; nor had I committed the crime of dui with property damage. I highly recommend this team as knowledgeable, fair and professional attorneys.
