I was injured in 2010 after a chair broke, causing me to fall sustaining injuries. Richard worked tirelessly and provided the voice I needed to reach a settlement

J. Jeffrey Rice was my attorney and helped with the acquisition of a recent real estate purchase our company made. He was extremely professional and made us feel good about the decision we made. Thanks.

I was embarrassed to admit I needed help with my Bankruptcy. They eased my concerns and explained my options, now I have a new lease on life. Couldn't have done it without them. Thank you.

The Law offices of Goldstein, Buckley, Cechman, Rice & Purtz, P.A. treated me like family. I was well taken care and would recommend them to anyone who is in serious need of representation. They cared about me enough to personally meet with me after I called **LAW (**529). The staff was wonderful and professional. Thank you for your assistance in helping me seek justice!

I’ve never had to deal with a situation where I needed a lawyer in the case of an accident. They calmed my fears and were very understanding in handling my claim. I came from a state that didn’t have no fault insurance and it was a pleasure dealing with them since I didn’t know where to turn for help. Mrs. King was especially helpful and sympathetic to my concerns. I highly recommend Goldstein, Buckley, Cechman, Rice & Purtz, PA. Thank you again.

Unless you have a million dollar case, it's like you are bothering them. When it was time for depositions, my lawyer sat there on his phone and laptop the entire time and only said 2 words....clearly working on something other than my case. They make you feel stupid for asking a question, like you're just supposed to blindly trust them. Would never recommend this firm!

I’m a local business owner and I needed counsel for a default judgment on a civil case. I spoke with attorney Darrell Isaac, who was polite but also condescending. He spoke with me as if he was counsel for the opposing party in the case, essentially telling me I had no defense. My company retained a sole practitioner in Fort Myers, with 30 years experience, for HALF the cost — and got the judgment vacated! Lost out of thousands of dollars in legal fees because of their attitude.
