Hired Attorney Todd M. Goebel

Todd was highly recommended by someone I knew right when I first moved to town. I was starting my life completely over, and I had absolutely no hope until the first time I spoke with Todd on the phone. My first interaction with Todd was intimidating because he was so assertive, honest, and straight to the point, but kind. From the first time we talked, he told me exactly what date to expect to have my SOS hearing, when he was going to meet with me to get the process started, what and when to expect on the timeline. He kept to his word, but besides that he gave me so much more. Todd has made an impact on my life that I will never forget. He has a natural gift and being an exceptional attorney is only a small portion. Words really can't describe because he made an absolutely awful situation turn into something so amazing. He believed in me and pushed me when I'd lost everyone and everything. I've met so many good people in town, but Todd has been the biggest impact on my life.

I have had Fred for my attorney for about three months and never thought he would accomplish what he did, he is not only professional but very knowledgeable in his field, I’ve referred others to him with the certainty he will get it done; his staff and other attorneys are a great team. W. H. Jr.

There is no one like Todd Goebel and his fantastic team. He was not only stellar on the legal side, his insight and instincts are unmatched when it comes to people. He will give it to you straight (whether you like it or not) - and he will make you better than before you walked in the front door. He gave us light in the absolute darkest of days. Even more he gave us our family back. He is our hero.

Fred Schlosser exudes the professionalism, tact, and knowledge that you would want and expect with 25 plus years of experience in law. My DUI was handled with care and Fred walked me through every step and gave me the facts so that I could make an informed decision and one that represented my best interest. I can not recommend him and his firm enough!

Fred explained the whole process well and implemented his game plan just as explained. He followed through and communicated back well with me, even over a several month span. We won my judgment due to his professionalism, experience and persistence. Highly recommend.

Todd was my 7th attorney throughout my 8 year battle against the court system. He was by far the best and most thorough. He actually cares about his job instead of just receiving a check. I will recommend him as long as he’s practicing law.
