The members of Goodall, Davison & Goldsmith, a Limited Liability Partnership of attorneys, have provided legal services to the Austin community since July 1974, when Gene T. Chiles began his law practice.
The firm's principals have practiced law in the Austin area for a total of over sixty years. The firm believes that such clients are best served by an association of attorneys small enough to provide personalized service, while large enough to offer a wide range of experience. During their association with the firm, clients are encouraged to discuss any matters of concern with its attorneys.
The firm welcomes an open dialogue with the people it represents, and is happy to address questions ranging from tactics to billing. As attorneys, we are quite aware that the expense of proceeding to court can be great in terms of money and time expended. Therefore, the firm believes that each client who is involved in a matter which has the potential for litigation be advised as to the process of alternative dispute resolutions.
Notwithstanding the above, the firm will not hesitate to advise a client to proceed with litigation if it is determined that this alternative will be to the client's best advantage. In conclusion, our approach to litigation is designed to minimize your costs and afford you the opportunity to maximize your return for the money you spend for legal representation.
