Best in the area!

5 stars and excellent is an understatement!! I was in a nasty jam to say the least. I'd hire Mr. Goebel again in a heartbeat if I ever needed a gladiator on my side. If you are ever in a bad situation I highly suggest you contact this man immediately. If very professional, straight to the point, resp...ectful, and timely response every step of the way paired with a great outcome is what you're after look no farther. Not enough stars to place a rating on the service that was provided!! Best decision I ever made!!

Helpful, Supportive, & Expert

I was in a bind with the Secretary of State. He was extremely helpful. He walked me through the process and took care of all of the hearings and filings. Not only did he take care of the professional aspect, he also took the time to check in ahead of deadlines. For a bad situation, that I had mad...e for myself, he treated me like a person and with compassion. He understands the system and helped decrease anxiety every step of the way. He has even checked in after the fact. I'd recommend him to anyone in need.

attorney review

I made the right choice in hiring Todd Goebel to represent a minor family member--he was excellent talking to & discussing the of the case with the minor, easy to understand. He was extremely knowledgeable about the case, thorough, quick to get "things" done, very accessible to contact as needed. I... trusted his judgment and got the best possible outcome for the minor. I would DEFINITELY hire him again if the need arises!!

dui case

I worked with Todd on getting my license back after getting my second DUI. He was very helpful. He was stern But that's what I needed to get My license back. He helped me out in every way possible. He was very fair with me. I thought I had no chance of getting them back. but he had faith in me and h...e told me what I need to do to get them back and to keep them. was he cheap no he wasn't. but is he good Heck ya he is good. I wouldn't want anyone else to go in with me if I had to do it over. To me you couldn't ask for a better attorney to go fight for your license.I always thought it was my right to have a license. I found out it was a privilege and I had to earn it back. Thanks for taking my case and doing everything you could to help me get my life and my freedom back. I would recommend him to anyone that needs help

More then a Lawyer

Mr.Gobel represented me about 12 years ago. He and I were both young him fresh out of law school and me fresh out of Highschool ! After picking up a gun charge from a Mir misunderstanding with a Correctional officer my parents found and hired Todd to represent me ! To came immediately and talked with... me and got me out of jail the next day with a bond reduction ! Todd called me everyday even just to check on me as he knew I had no idea the time I was looking at (10years) ! Todd did a great job finding the facts ,researching the scene and discovery of my case ! He picked thru it tooth and nail as well as the whole case overall ! I'm free to this day with a not guilty verdict ! Todd and his associates are the best lawyers you can find ! No they are not check and nor is your freedom when at risk ! Much love Todd keep up the good work
