This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Communicative and Caring

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 overw...helmed, 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

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

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.

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.
