About Summer
Biography
My name is Summer Masterson-Goethals and I am a divorce attorney in Springfield, Missouri and I have over 20 years of experience serving the families of Southwest Missouri.

Worst Lawyer Ever
Her paralegal lost my paperwork. Summer refused to speak to or work with opposing counsel. She was so bad I fired her and went without representation. The absolute worst attorney I've ever used in my life. She is awful.

Terrible lawyer
This was the worst lawyer I’ve ever had. She didn’t help me with anything, she would never speak up for me and would tell me to be quiet when I had facts. She would talk with the other lawyer and tell me I couldn’t say anything. Stay away from her because she doesn’t help at all.
