About Goede, DeBoest & Cross

Goede, DeBoest & Cross names 27 people across four offices, and its practice leads with community association law, which in Collier County is most of what a real estate lawyer does: estoppel certificates, reserve studies and the disputes that follow them.

On ten pages it publishes no fee terms we could record, no escrow arrangement and none of the stages of a purchase. 48 reviews at 4.45.

G1 LicensureNot published by FLFlorida does not publish an attorney register we can query, so licensure is not verified here. The state's own attorney search is the place to check it.
G2 DisciplineNot published by FL2 of the firm's attorneys share a surname with a disciplined attorney, and for Brianna Jones 1 of 3 decision(s) naming this surname have no searchable text, so they can be neither tied to nor ruled out against this attorney. The decisions that cannot be read are scans without searchable text, so this is a limit of the published record. Nothing here says the firm's attorney is that person.
G3 Entity & officeGOEDE, DEBOEST & CROSS, PLLC is an active FLAL on the Florida register, document L15000159335, filed 2015-09-18, with 4 Google-verified locations
G5 WebsiteSite has served over HTTPS, a working phone number published, 27 named attorneys published.
G6 Footprint4 Google-verified locations and 11 years since the entity was filed in 2015. This practice is transactional, so the gate asks for a verified listing and the year in operation rather than ten reviews, and its 48 reviews are scored in pillar C instead

Real Estate

The firm’s people the firm names its people without saying who among them practises law · 27 more people are named by the firm without a role, so we do not call them attorneys

Also named by the firm

The firm lists these people among its team and prints no role beside the names, so we do not describe them as attorneys.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Goede, DeBoest & Cross charge?
Goede, DeBoest & Cross publishes no fee terms on the pages we read, so none is recorded on this profile. An absence here is not a claim that the firm has no fee arrangement, only that it does not state one publicly. The rate itself is not published, so ask for it in writing, along with how case expenses are handled and whether they come out of the recovery before or after the fee.
Does Goede, DeBoest & Cross offer a free consultation?
Goede, DeBoest & Cross does not publish a free consultation on the pages we read. That is not the same as charging for one, and it is worth asking.
Where does Goede, DeBoest & Cross have offices?
Goede, DeBoest & Cross publishes four offices, in Naples, Coral Gables, Fort Myers and Boca Raton. Addresses and the Google listing behind each one are on this profile under Offices.
Who are the attorneys at Goede, DeBoest & Cross?
Goede, DeBoest & Cross names 27 attorneys on its own site, and each is listed on this profile with the page we read them from. They have not been checked against a state register: Florida does not publish an attorney register we can query, so licensure is not verified here. The state's own attorney search is the place to check it.
What has Law Firm Listings verified about Goede, DeBoest & Cross?
Goede, DeBoest & Cross scores 40 and sits at Verified. Passed: entity registration, website and footprint. Could not be answered from any public source and therefore counts neither for nor against the firm: licensure and discipline. Every row of the scorecard above names where the value came from and when it was read. Nothing on this profile was supplied by the firm for payment, and no placement here can be bought.
