Report
I can't recommend Chad enough as a Lawyer! I recently had a very bad accident that caused me to be out of work for several weeks to almost 3 months. Myself and my girlfriend would have never thought we would have been in this situation in our entire life. As I sat at home trying figure out what steps to take with all these medical bills at the time and the additional ones to come to get back on my feet I knew I needed help. So I reached out and was connected with Chad. He walked me through the process and made feel at ease knowing I wasn't going to have to figure all this out on my own. Once everything

I came in contact with Chad after my little passed away in a accident. He represented my family in our wrongful death suite. Nobody ever wants to have to file that type of suite but Chad guided us through the process with care and sensitivity. He explained every step to us and told us what to expect. Popular opinion will tell you that there are not many decent lawyers in the world, but I know from experience that Chad is a good, decent man who cares about his clients.

When I was in a car accident Chad Goetz went above and beyond to help me and I'm very pleased with the outcome of my case. Chad explained things and worked with me himself. I highly recommend Chad Goetz for your legal needs.

Report
I was rear ended on the freeway and suffered a total loss of my vehicle and severe injury to my neck and back. Mr. Goetz seemed eager to represent me after initial consultation and seeing the pictures of the collision so I retained him. After more than two years of inaction he finally returned my calls and told me that he was not going to proceed against Geico Insurance who covered the party who struck me. It was a slam dunk case but with the statutes of limitations soon to expire it was tough to find an attorney willing to take the case, ESPECIALLY because Mr. Goetz had let it go so long then
