This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

A Stellar Attorney Who Knows His Stuff!

Mr. Goebel is a class act! I was really impressed by him. If you have a need for a stellar attorney, he's your guy. Everyone who is charged with a crime needs an attorney but what you may not realize is that sometimes you might need an attorney before charges are filed. Never speak to the police (unl...ess you're an animal abuser because then I hope you go to jail) without an attorney. They say innocent people actually hire attorneys more often than guilty people but part of it could be that people with attorneys aren't found guilty nearly as often. Regardless, if you have any legal concerns, don't hesitate to hire Mr. Goebel! Not only is he very intelligent but he was incredibly kind and compassionate as well. He shared a story with me that made me realize that even if a guy seems tough like a John Wick, there is sometimes a heart of gold inside. Thank you for your help sir!

Responsive and helpful

He called me back within a few minutes of submitting a request for consultation. He was very helpful in guiding me the best way to navigate my issue and it didn’t even involve hiring him as an attorney. Top notch guy. Highly recommend.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
