Review Marques Goetsch

Communicative and Caring

Posted by

I have hired Marques Goetsch for multiple cases. Each time he has been incredibly responsive and I especially appreciated the time he took to clarify the process of events. For instances where I had multiple options to consider, he was thorough and communicative in outlining them. If I was ever overwhelmed, he would take the time to explain as much as needed and helped me evaluate the situation clearly. I never felt uniformed or unaware. I will always choose to consult with him regarding any legal matters I may encounter in the future.

Exceeded my expectations

Posted by

Mr. Goetch is extremely easy and enjoyable to work with. He is professional and knowledgable while also not afraid to tell you if he needs to look into an answer if he doesn't know something for sure. Mr. Goetch was generous in the amount of work he did for the fee charged. I would not have been able to take care of my legal issues without him and am truly grateful to have obtained his services. I would recommend him to anyone. What he may lack in experience, he makes up for in heart, hard work and effort which goes a long way.

Conscientious & thorough

I appreciated Marques' work on my behalf in setting up an LLC for my small business and drawing up operating paperwork. He covered a lot of ground that I would not have thought of, provided some very helpful counsel, and made the entire process very easy for me. Thanks!

estate settlement

Personal issue arose with a death in the family, while this is not his area of experience he helped resolve the issue and spent time looking up info he was not sure of.

Excellence and Professionalism

Posted by

I approached Marques with a quick-turnaround real estate need. After thoroughly gathering necessary information, he drafted a high-quality document with a creative solution. I recommend Marques for professionalism and excellence.

A Very Pleased Client

Posted by

My husband & I would highly recommend Marques Goetsch as an attorney. He was always professional and prepared for each meeting that we had with him. If an area came up that he was unfamiliar with, he would defer a decision until he could speak knowledgeably about the matter. We know him to be a man of integrity, commitment, and strong personal convictions. We dealt with a will as well as papers we will need as we approach our golden years. He is the best that the study of law has to offer.

Estate Planning and Will Preparation

Posted by

We were very pleased with the work Marques did for us. We wanted information on trusts and basic wills. He was very patient with our many questions and was quite knowledgeable. In the end we chose basic wills and advance directives. He worked around our schedule and even came to our home. We of course checked him out with several friends first and were not disappointed in his professional appearance and demeanor. He appears to work well with all ages and backgrounds. We would highly recommend him to others and wish him well in his legal career. In today's world folks hesitate to trust lawyers and politicians. If Marques keeps on the track he is on now he will have a reputation of being one of the "good guys".

Great Experience

Posted by

I hired Marques to help me resign from my former employer. I was dreading my resignation, but Marques was so thorough and efficient, he helped the process go very smoothly. He is extremely professional and I was impressed with his willingness to ensure that I was highly satisfied with the final outcome. I could not have gotten through the process if not for his legal support. I strongly recommend The Law Offices of Marques Goetsch.
