Having sustained a fracture to my knee as the result of a fall, I found myself in need of legal counsel. Lucky for me I found gbc law and Mr. Smith. What could have been a terribly stressful situation became bearable with Mr. Smith’s professional guidance. I felt as though I speaking with a friend. The ancillary staff was also courteous, professional and friendly. I thank you all and would absolutely recommend Mr. Smith and staff for legal representation.

Laura Ferrell via

I was very pleased with the service that we received from Andrea and her team in the Port Charlotte office. Going through this process during the COVID situation did make the process go on longer than it probably normally would take, but we have closed this chapter of our lives in dealing with this lawsuit. Thank you for all your assistance.

Mark Steinberg via

I am an attorney for 40 years. I hired Eve to handle a roof damage case. She destroyed the insurance company attorney that tries this type of case multiple times per month. Eve is extremely bright and personable. She out worked the other side. Regardless of the outcome, my wife and I are thrilled we hired Eve. We are pleased with the jury verdict obtained by Eve.

Christopher Romero via

The staff is wonderful, always in communication with me throughout everything. Also recommended places to receive treatment for my injury and worked with me in regards to my medical bills.

Stephen Lineberry via

Had the opportunity to meet the Lawyers and Staff at a recent Charlotte County Chamber of Commerce Ribbon Cutting. Professional and knowledgable in all aspects of injury law. The staff has the expertise to determine your legal needs.

Dawn via

In the past month we have used Goldstein, Buckley, Cechman, Rice & Purtz, PA on a few occasions… setting up a trust, corporate / business related items and for personal injury. Dealing with the different lawyers and keeping things in order was made easy due to all of the staff members that were involved. They are polite, professional and very quick to respond.

Carolyn Dicarlo via

Attorney Buckley is friendly, helpful and professional. We never feel rushed and he answers all of our questions.

Richard Toker via

Richard Purtz is a very professional attorney. Recommend him highly.

DEBORAH HAAS via

I want to thank Chris Smith and his team for all their hard work on my accident case. I started with the wrong attorney and found Chris thru a very good friend. It’s so important to find a trial attorney and also one that specializes in the field that your needing them for. I had wasted 4 years. But Chris took over and got the job done in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Chris Smith at Goldstein Buckley Cechman Rice & Perez.

JOSEPH Franciotti via

The staff is responsive and thorough. Eve Volkmann is a wonderful attorney with great patience. She always asks the right questions. Would refer Eve and the firm to any who asks!

Melissa King via

Brianne Ortiz via

I was rear ended at a stoplight and a friend recommended this office. Best recommendation I’ve ever received. Mr. Smith kept me informed every step of the way, he answered every and any questions I had. His team ensured that I understood all the paperwork which was a relief. It allowed me to focus on healing my injury.

Emily Frueh via

My kids and I were re-ended at a red light, I sustained more injuries than them since they were wearing their seatbelts. I was so full of adrenaline and partial confusion that I did not even realize I was injured. My kids sustained very minor injuries and didn’t feel the need to go to the hospital at that time, we were 2 counties away from home my other child was at the babysitters and I don’t even know how I would get back to my car if we went via ambulance. The following day my pain increased, and it took what seemed like forever to be seen by someone. I was getting several phone calls from the other persons insurance company starting the following morning stating that they would fully reimburse me for my vehicle, anything I needed, they just wanted to get my car fixed right away. I started having anxiety about the entire situation so I contacted GBCR&P. I made an inquiry at 10:30PM just thinking someone would call me the next morning, I had a missed phone call less than 15 minutes later and I was calling them back and making the appointment for the following morning. I was a little nervous about everything I have never gone through something like this. My biggest concern was the fact that my pain was getting worse and I didn’t know what to do. I was told by the ER doctor to just wait it out, so I did. GBCR&P had an appointment with a Chiropractor for my kids and I within a week. They didn’t have any extensive damage so they were pretty quick with their recovery. The other insurance company has dismissed my injuries so my case was re-assigned to Adam Heisner within the group. I couldn’t be more happier with the outstanding, above and beyond customer service that I get from Mr. Heisner and his legal Assistant Trisha Maddox. They are on top of everything and make sure they know who I have seen and just go the extra mile. Since I was transferred from the Lehigh office to the Fort Myers office driving long distances is very difficult for me but they do everything humanly possible to accommodate me. Mr Heisner even got a settlement on my children which we didn’t even think was going to happen so we dropped the suit for my kids. I would absolutely recommend GBCR&P to anyone that has the unfortunate luck to be in an accident. At GBCR&P you aren’t just another number, your family. They know exactly who you are when you call on the phone or if you walk through the door. They are cheery and empathetic and just want to help get you the need/deserve.

Bob Burns via

Our young, athletic, community-involved son was left a quadraplegic by a slip and fall accident. His life was forever changed, and so was that of his family. The attorneys and staff of this firm provided the exceptionally strong support he needed. They fought for his rights as though they were family. Both the especially outstanding staff in the Charlotte office and the broad backup talents of the entire firm in Florida stood tall with us all the way. Intelligent, educated in the law, dedicated, determined, hard-working, personally caring, and SUCCESSFUL representatives. What more could you ask? Call them if you need legal help. You will be happy that you did.

Ilse Johann via

They were truly interested on helping me with my case. My lawyer, Chris Smith showed compassion & assured me that he would be standing by my side.. I won the case which was not not easy but justified. I thank everyone that has helped me at Goldstein, Buckley, Purtz & would recommend them to anyone needing help.

Gary Siebenaler via

This group is so easy to work with. They are honest with you every step of the way. They are truly the best I have ever worked with in my life. God Bless them all.

Florida Girl via

After my car accident, the insurance company made the situation more stressful. I then saw the commercial from GBCR&P about letting THEM deal with the insurance company and I gave them a call. I am glad I did! The stress level went down and Richard Purtz and his team were very helpful, friendly, promptly responded to calls and e-mails and successfully settled my case. I would definitely use GBCR&P again and refer to others.

HDub man via

I was in an accident where an SUV ran a red light and struck my door at 45 mph. The accident left me with a damaged knee, 4 bulging discs in my back, and multiple lacerations. Due to the extent of my injuries, and the severity of the accident, I knew it was best if I obtained counsel. I was referred to GOLDSTEIN, BUCKLEY, CECHMAN, RICE & PURTZ, P.A. by family members who had used them and expressed how happy they were with this law firm. Mr. Purce and Mr. Smith of GOLDSTEIN, BUCKLEY, CECHMAN, RICE & PURTZ, P.A. were very compassionate and pleasant to deal with. They walked me through the whole process, and in the end, I feel we walked away with reasonable compensation for the pain and suffering caused by the accident. I am very happy with the way everything was handled throughout the case, and I would most definitely recommend GOLDSTEIN, BUCKLEY, CECHMAN, RICE & PURTZ, P.A. to anyone and everyone in the future.

Christen Lowman via

For this claim I really went for the word around town on who is a trustworthy attorney. Lilly was always amazing and just brightens your day. Erin Reilly, was the personal claims analyst I had and she definitely went above and beyond and was on top of everything. I have not had an experience like this in a long time anywhere. The compassion, caring and knowledge these two had will definitely keep me as a client and anyone else I can send your way.

Trading with a trusted account manager is what can make your dreams come through. For me Mrs Mariel Ramsey has the best trading strategies to win. I never believed on any post recommending online trading until I gave a try and the outcome was great for me. Making $9,750 out of $1000 was a whole lot of profit for me.

David Workman via

I hired the best firm and it was a great choice for me. Attorney Richard Purtz and his crew at the Lehigh office are the best.

I was the victim of a car crash where I was hit from behind. I sustained permanent injuries. RICHARD PURTZ and CHRISTOPHER SMITH worked tirelessly in my behalf to obtain the settlement I deserved. They were both consistently helpful and patient in answering all my questions as I went through this legal process.

I will recommend this firm enthusiastically to anyone with a need for legal services as I had.

Dear Deb Cuda

I wanted to express my gratitude for your efforts and dedication for my case. It was quite a long and lengthy process and I could never think anyone would stay by my side for this long, but you were very generous regarding it. It is hard for me to explain to Richard Purtz who didn’t know me that I never did what my Insurance company claimed I did. Of course, he comfort me as only a Giant could do and he said let me worry you just take care of your injuries.
But everyone in the Firm that I have had the pleasure of meeting especially you believed that I was innocent. Goldstein, Buckley, Cechman, Rice & Purtz, PA Firm put their hearts and efforts in clearing my name and winning MY CASE….

I am VERY grateful to you Debra that you took all the stress and restored everything in me. Your faith, knowledge and determination were something that solves my worries. I am so blessed to have had your firm represent me, but most of all I am blessed to have a new friend that has integrity, respect and loyalty to me and all your clients the same. God Bless you always.

Your Client 4life
Thank you

Where no other attorney would listen to my case or tried to understand, she sat with us and took the time with us and explained everything in a way that we could understood. If I ever need legal assistance again without a doubt I would return to her or any of the attorneys there. I recommend this practice 100% . Thank you Eve for all your help. God Bless.

Wow! Let me start with how impressed I am with this firm. Especially Christopher Smith. I was represented from another firm that botched my case and drug it out over 5 years to only last minute drop me, I had no where to go and since it was such a old case not one firm wanted to take the case. I’m so glad I walked into Goldstein Buckley Cechman Rice & Purtz. When I spoke to Chris he was more than willing to help me and didn’t care how much of a mess it would be picking up my case, like all the other firms told me. They were on top of it and resolved my case in a fashionable time frame to exceed my expectations! I 100% back and recommend Christopher Smith.

When I had my accident back in August 2019, there was only one legal service I had in mind. I called Goldstein Buckley Cechman Rice and Purtz in Lehigh Acres. Atty Richard Purtz helped me out a great deal. He went through all the information and made sure I understood and answered all the questions I had. The Lehigh Acres office staff are amazing and helpful even with this Covid 19 catastrophe, they kept in touch with me and made sure everything is well. I will definitely recommend them to anyone who needs their help.

This one is professional and knowledgeable. They were always warm and friendly and easy to talk to. Anytime I had questions or concerns they always found the answers for me. I highly recommend them.

GBCRP helped me get a fair settlement for my auto accident. It was a continual battle with the insurance company, and GBCRP fought very hard for me. Their guidance through the difficult process was appreciated, making it easy for me to understand everything that was happening with my case. Everyone I worked with truly cared about me, and I will definitely use GBCRP for all my legal needs.

We worked with Chris Smith and he was great to work with. He returned our calls promptly, kept us informed of the status, was very pleasant to work with, and was able to settle our claim pretty timely. I would highly recommend him.

Awesome Attorney’s! They care about YOU! You couldn’t ask for a better Law Firm that cares about you and will take care of You! The Best!!!!

Daniel Parks via

The attorney’s was Mr. Smith and Mr. Purtz. The staff was quick to respond and I was called several times to keep me in the loop. What happened was a grinder exploded when I was using it and it pieces of the grinding wheel broken off and hit me in my abdomen and I needed to have surgery right away.
I would recommend them to anybody. The firm was very professional and I would go to them again if I needed to.

Highly recommend this law firm. Attorney Christopher Smith is a highly respected and an incredibly effective attorney. He is reliable, trustworthy and committed, all the core values you should seek in an attorney and law firm with “integrity” at the top of the list. Attorney Smith and his team are extremely professional and courteous. Their reputation speaks for itself as a law firm, which embodies their culture and values. I’m sure their clients notice the difference and that is why they keep coming back. I know I will.

My real estate clients and I have used GBC Law for over 5 years now. Their expertise in the real estate industry is what I rely on, and they’re always a phone call away to answer any questions that I have. Their flexibility and sense of urgency is so necessary when it comes to keeping real estate transactions running smoothly, and they do it all very well!

Excellent Lawyer. I highly recommend! Amazing service. Amazing staff. Great outcome.

Attorney Christopher Smith and his staff are amazing. They helped me improve myself as a person during a very difficult time in my life, and they helped me in ways I will always be grateful for. Not only did they resolve my case beyond expectations, but I was always able to get a hold of them, and they communicated with me every step of the way. Having Chris Smith as my attorney gave me the peace of mind I needed to focus on my life, and confidence I needed during difficult times. Christopher Smith cares, and I recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney. Thank you to Christopher Smith and thank you to your staff – I’m grateful for your help!

We had originally contacted another lawyer to handle our case but where very pleased when Chris had to step in! We wished he handled it from the beginning, he was very professional and explained everything to us.

Attorney Christopher Smith represented me after I had been rear ended in a motor vehicle accident. He successfully negotiated a settlement for me against a tough insurance company that I was happy with. He took the time to listen to my concerns and input. I would strongly recommend Atorney Christopher Smith to anyone seeking legal assistance after an accident.

On Duty Crash

Mr. Smith was pleasurable to meet from the first time. He displayed professionalism during all interactions and is very knowledgeable. He showed concern for me and my case. He explained all proceedings clearly, there were no surprises. He and his staff were always prepared and had everything in order. He and his staff did all the leg work to put the case together and ensured I was ready for the deposition and mediation. Mr. Smith did an awesome job and won my case!

Attorney Chris Smith took on my case with enthusiasm. He and his staff are very professional, honest, and timely. Atty. Smith is an effective communicator, negotiator, and thinks outside the box. He is detailed in his analyses and has keen ability to use legal strategies to outmanoeuvre his challenger. I consulted with him on a few occasions in person and on the phone. He gave me vital information to prepare my case so that I succeeded in winning more than anticipated. Atty. Chris Smith is a role model for all attorneys to emulate. He goes above and beyond to help veterans and supports MADD.

Car accident

I’m so glad I went with Chris Smith to represent me after my car accident. The insurance company wanted to play hard ball, but Mr. Smith was able to get the company to pay out. So happy that I utilized his legal services!

Excellent experience from afar

I hired Mr. Smith after recommendation from a friend who lives in Naples. She didn’t know him, but had heard of the firm from a friend. I live far away and we communicated via phone calls and emails. He and his colleagues responded immediately every time I reach out with a question or concern. This was not a large case, but they treated me with respect throughout the process, not knowing if they would actually realize payment. This case was filed then mediated and I felt that Mr. Smith did everything he could to reach the best settlement possible under the circumstances.

Hard Working

Chris helped me get a fair settlement for my auto accident. The insurance company fought and delayed everything, but Chris kept them on track. Anytime I had a question or needed help, Chris or one of his team were available and provided me with answers. The guidance I received from Chris was invaluable, and i would like to thank Chris and his team for helping me during this difficult process.
