Posted by John | September 09, 2016 | Hired Attorney

A True Caring Attorney

In late July, I was involved in a road rage incident which resulted in me being charged with a Misdemeanor Simple Assault. As a result i was arrested, handcuffed, strip searched and thrown in jail! Awful, Awful, Awful Experience in which I hope to never have to go through again! In Florida a Misdemea...nor can carry up to a one year jail sentence, so I knew i had to Hire an Excellent Attorney! So for a week I researched top criminal attorneys in Manatee County, and decided to hire the law firm GoldmanWetzel! One of the best Decisions I have made in a Long Time! With this Law Firm GoldmanWetzel, you get the Experience of 2 Criminal Attorneys Summer Goldman and Beth Wetzel and their outstanding ParaLegal Kristen. All 3 Women work together with one common goal, to provide their client with the Best Criminal Defense Team in South Florida (at a very reasonable and cheap cost/fee)! As a result, within 6 weeks (i never had to attend any court dates, hearings, etc.,) I received an email from Summer Goldman saying the State of Florida had dropped my Misdemeanor Charge and i had been cleared of All Wrongdoing! In Summary, it seems just like yesterday, that I was researching Criminal Defense Attorneys, but instead I am writing a review of my experience! Thank You Summer, Beth and Kristen, Your Team Truly Has Something Special To Offer Its Clients! John (Sarasota)

Best Criminal Defense Attorney in the Tampa Bay Area!!!!! 5*****

I highly recommend the Law Offices of Goldman Wetzel to anyone that needs assistance with a criminal issue or an injunction in the Tampa bay area. Both Summer Goldman and her partner Beth Wetzel are *****5 Star AMAZING Attorney's. Summer is professional, attentive, ethical, and she was VERY aggress...ive in litigating my case! She was able to get me favorable results. The firm staff are wonderful and helpful, they always replied to all of emails and text messages quickly. She walked me through the entire process so I knew what to expect every step of the way. I was really anxious because I had never been arrested before. She understood how I was feeling She even worked with me and accepted payments because I was unable to pay in full due to the fact that I was only wroking part time and I am a college student. A+++++++ Attorney. I will refer everyone that I know to this firm because I was 110% satisfied with my representation.

Summer Goldman is amazing!

I had to defend myself from malice intended from a prior business I was working at as a 1099 Subcontractor. Summer was amazing in guiding me through the process. I was desperate to talk to a lawyer once I was notified of business owner intentions. I talked to 3 other offices all dismissed me with th...ings like need to schedule an appointment the lawyer is not in I can leave a message. When I contacted Goldman & Wetzel from a google search was the best time over all in this whole experience. I first spoke to Kristin who immediately put me first; even triage d me in and cleared all calls to give me full attention. I say Kristin for President! But I digress then I was immediately called back from Summer they knew what was going on and guided me through a process I had no familiarity with. In the end justice was served and I was cleared and the victor in some pretty shady moves from a gifted degenerate. I felt through the whole process that I was part of a team. I recommend Goldman & Wetzel as a legal team for any of your defense needs.

Great Attorney!

I was very satisfied with the services Summer provided. Her associate, Marybeth was also helpful. All my questions were answered in a very timely manner and the outcome of my case was favorable. She has continued to stay in contact we me after it was all over. I felt an immediate friendship while wor...king with these ladies as opposed to being just another number.

In my opinon Summer Goldman is the best lawyer you'll find anywhere.

Summer Goldman from Goldman & Wetzel helped me through one of the most difficult times of my life and I don’t know what I would have done without her. She is experienced and familiar with the court system and she also knew all the right people including the judge and state attorney. She went above an...d beyond and was always available to answer my questions and help me. Her cost was minimal compared to what she saved me in the long run. I would very highly recommend her to my closest friends and anyone in need of a great lawyer. Her partner Beth Wetzel is also a very highly skilled lawyer and having them as a team was invaluable. Basically, they saved me. If you need legal help just call Summer Goldman, you'll be very glad you did.
