I was in a bad auto accident and was very fortunate to have connected with this law firm! From day one, everyone helped me & supported me during the time I needed it most, since I was in a lot of pain and did not know how to proceed. They displayed excellent communication, consistent updates and really went the extra mile to make sure my situation was professionally handled. A big shout out to Janell, Pam, Brooke and of course Andrea, the attorney that represented me!! Thank you so much!!! I would highly recommend them-no brainer!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Legal Team – True Advocates Who Became Family
I cannot say enough about the incredible team at Goldstein Buckley Chetchman Rice, Purtz, Smith & Smith.
From the very beginning, they stood by me through one of the most difficult and life-changing experiences I have ever faced. In an instant, my life changed for the worse—I lost an amazing career and suffered multiple serious injuries, including a traumatic brain injury (TBI). During that time, I needed more than just legal representation—I needed people who truly cared. That is exactly what I found with this firm.
I want to personally recognize Janell, Pam, Brooke, Summer, and Andrea for their exceptional professionalism, compassion, and unwavering dedication. These individuals are not just part of a legal team—they are true advocates—and over time, they became like family to me.
Every time I called, they answered. Every text or email I sent was responded to promptly and with genuine concern. They never made me feel like just another case. Instead, they treated me with respect, patience, and understanding every step of the way.
Their commitment to my case was beyond anything I could have expected. They fought for me, stood beside me through every challenge, and ultimately delivered results that have made a meaningful difference in my life.
This team went to battle for me—and they won.
If you are looking for a law firm that combines professionalism, responsiveness, and true compassion, I highly recommend them without hesitation. They are, without a doubt, true superstars—and truly like family.

I want to say through the worst experience of my life the people at Goldstein, Buckley were my best support system. They helped me whenever I had questions and treated me like they really cared about me. I am so happy that I found them when my life was in a terrible place. An accident that was no fault of mine .They really came through for me and I believe they put there hearts into getting compensation that I deserved. Pam and Jenell were very efficient, caring,and great at communication . Andrea Smith made sure everything went smoothly and fought for me to get the compensation I deserved . I highly recommend them if you have an unfortunate accident.

I met Andrea right before she got married. Perhaps that was her primary focus. I was hit from the driver's side and on the back side. She ended up suggesting that I settle, and in the end, all I got was $10,000. To this day, 11 years later, I still suffer from excruciating back pain. My spine doctor has suggested that I get surgery. I do not recommend her or Goldstein Buckley to anyone because they are only looking for a quick buck.

The entire staff was welcoming and very helpful. They kept us informed every step of the way. It was a pleasure to meet them in person. The attorneys worked effortlessly on our case and got our opinion on certain steps they took. What a beautiful law firm.

This legal practice is truly amazing. From the very beginning, everyone was incredibly accommodating and took the time to clearly explain each step of the process. Their communication is excellent — whether by text, phone call, or email, there was always someone available to answer our questions with quick, thoughtful responses.
The entire staff is personable, respectful, and professional, but what really stands out is the human element they bring. We always felt heard, supported, and taken care of. We had the pleasure of working closely with Jannell, who is exceptional at what she does. Her guidance and dedication made a stressful situation so much easier to navigate.
the attorneys at Goldstein Buckley even went above and beyond by helping us recover additional costs that were hidden under inflation-related increases — something we never would have caught on our own. Their diligence and advocacy truly made a difference.
Overall, we had a wonderful experience and couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend Goldstein Buckley to anyone needing representation after a car accident. They genuinely fight for their clients and deliver outstanding results.

The Port Charlotte team was amazing helping with my case. Attorney Andrea Smith was able to take my case after being rejected by another attorney and I am extremely pleased by my settlement. I 100% recommend this firm and this office! Thank you so much for everyone's help.

I’ve worked with attorneys throughout my entire business life, but never have any of them shown such a personal interest into myself as the client and my personal needs, which arise from a traumatic situation.

Not do I highly recommend them, bot they are a pleasure to work with.

The office staff kept me informed and updated and were so easy to work with, my thanks to Janell, Summer and Pam always there to help. I highly recommend the firm and especially the Port Charlotte office.

This law firm is TERRIFIC!! I can’t say enough good things about them! I hired Goldstein for an auto accident, I didn’t have to go to court or anything, the got me the maximum, I. Went signed for the check and that was it. I would like to say they go above and beyond, I have messaged several of them in the following year about a few other legal issues, they have been so sweet and helpful always giving their best recommendation or options to consider, and they really never had to! They are awesome!

I can’t say enough good things about this law firm! From my first call to settlement was amazing . I dealt with the Port Charlotte office and have never experienced such an amazing and welcoming staff. Andrea Smith took my call right away to hear about my accident and took on my case. The staff that worked behind the scenes exceeded all expectations! I always received an email or call back within a couple hours if not minutes of me reaching out! From my first interaction at the office with Tracy to meeting and discussing my case and details with Janell was outstanding! Pam also was great! Always replied back quickly and promptly! Will forever recommend this law firm! Thank you for all you guys did!

Andrea and Chris Smith are absolutely amazing attorneys. Their staff are wonderfully caring too. Back in 2019 I had a slip and fall accident, as a result, I had injuries to my back. We ended up having to go to court. Chris did an amazing job and we were able to favorably settle. Just as I started moving on with my life, my son and I were hit in a hit and run accident. Andrea did an amazing job working with my insurance company to settle the case. If you need an attorney, I 1000% recommend GBC Law.
