Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President, Sabre Industries, Inc.
"I have worked with Goosmann law for several years and have leaned on Jeana and her firm for advice and guidance with a broad range of cases. The experience and knowledge they provide gives me a sense of peace and confidence that a true professional is protecting our interests. I’ve attended legal proceedings with Jeana and admire her skills, professionalism and the respect she has earned with fellow colleagues. Jeana Goosmann is truly a business partner. Her thoroughness, dedication to her clients, and command of the law are a perfect complement to her availability and genuine concern for her client."
"These guys rock. The Goosmann Law Firm team is a good return on your legal investment. The Firm has been a valuable source for strategic legal advice for both me and my business. I feel confident and assured as a CEO and business owner knowing that the Goosmann team is on my side. Jeana is an entrepreneur, trial attorney, and savvy risk-taker. When I have a question, Goosmann takes the time to explain the delicate web of complex laws to me in plain English. Jeana helps guide me to make the best business decisions by factoring in not only the law but the political and industry landscape. The firm zealously represents me whether we are in my local city hall getting a permit or in a federal court battling with global corporations. Every CEO has a secret element to help them be successful, Goosmann Law Firm is mine."
President of Century 21 Prolink and Kelly Construction, Inc.
"I consider Goosmann Law Firm more than a law firm. They are a trusted partner in my businesses. Jeana and her team have a unique ability to look at issues through the eyes of a CEO to deliver the best possible outcome. Jeana’s laser-like focus on our goals and objectives has helped fuel our continued growth. I wouldn’t want anyone else on my team."
President & CEO of TEC – Corp.
"The Goosmann Law Firm has been very helpful in three recent Real Estate deals and I look forward to future work with them."
"Goosmann Law's attorneys are very knowledgeable, they take the time to listen, and they genuinely want my company to succeed. I rely on their advice in countless ways, and am very pleased to have them on my side."
"I was very pleased with the service and advice you gave us. During red-hot chaos, you were the voice of reason. Although we wanted more–as I imagine each parent does–you correctly advised us of what was do-able for getting a parent to enter into an agreement. The week-to-week arrangement has worked reasonably well and when things start getting crazy, we have a document with teeth in it to get things back on a workable track. One thing I’ve thought about several times since then is that I had never had reason to have an attorney, but now that I have one I can rely on, it feels good and comfortable!"
"Your representation for my mother’s estate was great because of all of the interaction I had been involved in. With my job with attorneys, I had a distaste and dread of having to deal with anyone in that profession. You and the Goosmann Law firm changed all of that. You were professional, caring, always had time for me and just handled all of the problems that we had settling the estate very well, and the fee’s were very reasonable. The experience changed my mind on lawyers and is the reason I used the Goosmann Law Firm to not only help me get my estate planning in order but when I sold and bought a house there was only one call to make and that was to the firm to make sure all was okay. Thanks again to you and all at the firm, it was a good experience, and I am glad I chose Goosmann Law. I will continue to use and recommend Goosmann Law Firm whenever I need an attorney."
"The Goosmann Law team has done a great job of representing me in family law/post-divorce legal matters. They are knowledgeable, experienced, and strategic. They addressed all concerns and questions without delay and responded with straight-on-point legal guidance that has benefited my life. Strongly recommended."
"For several years, my husband and I discussed the need for having a will. This summer, we were directed to Goosmann Law Firm to seek advice in this regard. They made this experience easy in that they were both professional and knowledgeable in regards to explaining the process of estate law. Their replies were prompt, and we both highly recommend contacting Goosmann Law for estate planning. Thank you also to the staff - all were friendly and kind."
"I have retained Goosmann Law Firm as local counsel in telecommunications and general business matters. They are diligent and reliable and provide solid legal advice and insights into local practice. I would not hesitate to retain them as local counsel in the future."
"Goosmann Law understands the nuances of the construction industry. Their lawyers help me navigate complex legal issues, and they play an integral role in most all aspects of my business operation. when I started my business my father said you will need a good banker, accountant, and lawyer to succeed and the Goosmann firm more than fulfills the legal needs."
Risk Manager, Risk Management Department, Petco Animal Supplies, Inc.
"Goosmann Law Firm helped us receive a favorable ruling on a motion for summary judgement. As a Risk Manager and working with local counsel on our legal matters, I know how uncommon these judgements are. The case was complex with lots of twists and turns, and the Goosmann team navigated us through the entire process seamlessly. Their technical experience and skill showed throughout the case and was evident in our favorable result. They made sure we were informed of each step of our case, dates, and deadlines. I greatly appreciated their willingness to be flexible and always being available to jump on a call with myself, our general counsel, or claims examiners to discuss strategy. I highly recommend Goosmann Law Firm and their outstanding team. They know what they’re doing, I thoroughly enjoy working with them, and they deliver."
