Went above and beyond for my settlement!! Great attorney!
Mr. Goutman did a great job and worked very hard in settling my automobile injury claim. The amount he won for me in my settlement was nearly twice as much as what I expected - I highly recommend him - he will work very hard to get the most out of your claim.

He did a good job. Could of gave alittle more information on how lawsuits worked as I this was the first I was involved in. But the results came out well.
Philip R. Goutman's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. I knew Phil back when he (like me) was just starting out and already in an office full of experienced PI attorneys he stood out as the one you went to when you needed a straight answer to a straight question, had a difficult matter or actually wanted to get something done. I continue to have great faith in his candor and ability."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have sent many cases to Phil over the last 25 years and have always been happily satisfied."
"I have known Phil for many years and find him to be resourceful, thorough and professional. I recently had the pleasure of working with him to resolve an Orlando area personal injury case for a woman who lives in the Detroit area. His assistance and expertise were invaluable to the excellent outcome we achieved. I would not hesitate to recommend him to individuals in need of an excellent personal injury attorney."
