About Summer Masterson-Goethals
My name is Summer Masterson-Goethals and I am a family law and divorce attorney in Springfield, Missouri. My firm serves all of Southwest Missouri and is committed to providing excellent legal service at an affordable price. I take a great interest in my clients and often provide assistance beyond your legal issues. This level of specialized attention from a family lawyer in Springfield, Missouri is unique.
No matter your family law issue, we are here to help. With over 20 years of legal experience, we have the background and work ethic to help you in any situation. I take pride in my personal relationships with clients. You wonβt get lost in the shuffle at Masterson Law. I've worked in the legal field for over 20 years, assisting area attorneys as a paralegal since 2007 and obtaining my license to practice law in 2011.
As a former legal aid attorney, I believe every customer should have access to quality legal representation at a fair price. Clients of Masterson Law are not just another file. You wont get re-routed into a paralegal when you call me. I take return calls and calls timely. I work my clients to achieve their goals efficiently, effectively, and with as little financial strain as you can. Hiring an attorney is not cheap, but Masterson Law will work with you to locate a litigation plan that works within your budget. People are scared of enormous legal bills -- I work to make sure my client's do not need to suffer devastating litigation expenses. I offer flat fee pricing for various kinds of cases, from domestic to criminal.
I worked as an intern at the Federal Defender's office for the Western District of Missouri. In private practice, I have assisted on a murder trial, in addition to represented clients facing serious felony criminal cases.
I'm an academically author for the Missouri Bar on the subject of discovery. I've spoken as a continuing legal education speaker to the Missouri Bar, local bar associations, and private groups.
