Hired Attorney

I came to Goss Gustavel Goss with the task of updating my will. A will is something that people avoid because it is mentally challenging to think about. Geoff Goss provided me with professional guidelines on all the legal items that needed to be addressed. Geoff has personally and professionally taken care of all of the legal items that needed to be completed. Without a family, he expressed how important it was to have my health care directives legally in place. Sadly, after that, I had a life-threatening accident, and Geoff came to the hospital to personally check on me. During the nine days in the hospital, I was able to focus on my health, knowing my legal concerns were professionally handled by Goss Gustavel Goss.

Geoff Goss and his firm are unequivocally the right choice for custody litigation. Geoff’s support led me to prevail in two home studies, a district court trial, and a Supreme Court appeal. I have no doubt that all of the lower court rulings were upheld at the Supreme Court level due to Geoff’s integrity as an attorney and consistent representation of my case. He supported me while still working cooperatively with opposing counsel to save time and costs. Quality professional attorney!

so after a great deal of research I called Mr. Geoff Goss and he quickly realized the urgency of the matter and he worked tirelessly on my son’s behalf. Because of Mr. Goss commitment to my son’s case, my grandchildren were quickly protected and we had the best possible resolution to an extremely difficult situation. I hope that you never find yourself in a position to need this type of representation, but if you do, you can’t find a better advocate than Mr. Geoff Goss his assist Michele Coope.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

You should be aware that the information we rely upon may not be comprehensive, or frequently updated.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
