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.

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.

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.

I knew from its history that Gates, Wise was a high performing law firm with an incredible resume'. It's clear to me why they made Todd a partner. He resolved my medication related DUI promptly and affordably. Todd is very knowledgable on DUI and SOS issues. Not only is he a great lawyer, but he's a wonderful counselor. He is sincerely interested in his clients understanding how their behavior landed them in his office to begin with, so they can strive to be more mindful in the future. Highly recommended!

Todd is a 5-Star General in a world of privates! This man accepted my Illinois driving privileges case and went diligently to work. He always had command of the situation. After winning my case the work wasn't over. SOS is extremely slow, and he stayed on top of the department until they filled the legal obligations. No way possible do this on your own. Hire Todd. His expertise is unmatched!

I contacted Mr Goebel after two failed attempts at going through re instatement hearings. He went to work immediately and got everything started for me. We had a meeting to get to know each other and go over all the details of my case. He was very thorough in explaining what I needed to do and what he was going to do to help me get ready for the next hearing. He always answered questions when I called and he was very good at communicating any information to me. We met the day before my hearing to review all information and go over what I needed to know. We won our case and I was able to drive again. I would recommend him 100%

I called Todd Goebel for a consultation regarding getting my license reinstated and he was extremely helpful. He quickly gathered the relevant information about my case. While he was unable to give me the answer I was looking for (my license cannot currently be reinstated), he did not charge me for the consultation and even saved me money that I otherwise would have wasted by going through another attorney or attempting to go through the process on my own. If you have DWI and need to get your license back, he is definitely the person to contact!

Todd represented me in a recent hearing, he was absolutely worth his fees. I know the stigma that accompanies attorneys is somewhat the same as the used car salesmen. I can assure you those thoughts are unfounded with Todd. We had a tough hill to climb and he absolutely delivered on his word. He will follow up with you every step of the way. He never once acted like he was too busy for me or my questions. You will not go wrong with him representing you.
