Best in Springfield, IL

To anyone needing serious attorney services in central IL I highly recommend Todd Goebel. This man went above and beyond every step of the way to handle my situation. After a conversation with Mr. Goebel on the phone I knew he was the correct choice for me. Quickly after hiring him he, got to work..., getting the correct outcome and most expedient response for my situation. Also, he took the time to answer my calls and explain the process every step of the way. In addition, Todd even took an hour out of his day to console, my Mother, who was struggling with what I had done. Mr. Goebel not only counseled me in the court system but gave me direction for accepting responsibility, and encouraging the man I have become today. Without his help and guidance, no doubt, I would be far worse off than I am today. Without question he is the most thorough and understanding attorney I have ever meet, and will be the only attorney I use in Springfield, IL.

An excellent attorney

Todd Goebel is an excellent attorney. He handled my criminal case with competency and was consistently available for me to explain what was happening with my case.

Criminal Defense

Todd is an attorney that has both preparedness and reputation on his side. His view is trusted by the court and that matters. I would definitely recommend this attorney for criminal defense.

Best Criminal / Traffic Lawyer I ever used

This guy has done an excellent job defending me many times. He has told me that I am the worst driver that he has ever met, without any DUI or Collisions, and he was right. He has dealt with more tickets of mine than I care to speak of, mostly for speeding 15-20 over, and driving on suspended, wh...ich he took care of all of them. He has gotten convictions overturned for me and has gotten my license reinstated when should have been suspended 3 separate times. Gates Wise and Schlosser Have been my attorneys for many years. I have been a client of Brad Wilson in a civil matter, which worked out in my favor. I have also been a client of D. Peter Wise in a criminal matter, that was dropped due to his skill. My longest relationship has been with Todd Goebel, having been a client for over 10 years. He has made my life so much easier due to his expertise and advice. I highly recommend this firm and Todd Goebel specifically.
