With the first iteration of Goetz Fitzpatrick LLP formed in 1967, and the attorneys of Platzer, Swergold, Goldberg, Katz & Jaslow, LLP serving clients for more than 50 years, the foundation of Goetz Platzer LLP is built upon a rich legacy of legal excellence, client service, and community involvement.

Together, the attorneys of Goetz Fitzpatrick LLP and Platzer, Swergold, Goldberg, Katz & Jaslow, LLP represent well over a century of service to clients. Through changing times, evolving industries, and generations of attorneys, the attorneys of both firms remained steadfast in their commitment to integrity, professionalism, and outstanding advocacy. Their reputations were built not only on legal skill, but on the trust and confidence of the clients, businesses, financial institutions, and communities they served.

Today, the attorneys of Goetz Platzer LLP proudly carry forward the legacy established by the attorneys of Goetz Fitzpatrick LLP and Platzer, Swergold, Goldberg, Katz & Jaslow, LLP.

Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Goetz Platzer LLP.

Today, we celebrate and honor the fathers, grandfathers, and father figures whose guidance, support, and example have helped shape who we are. Their encouragement inspires us to be our best selves, pursue excellence, and lead with integrity in both our personal and professional lives.

We wish all fathers and father figures a wonderful and well-deserved Father’s Day.

Our program is designed to provide students with meaningful, hands on experience that extends well beyond traditional observation. Interns work alongside our attorneys and professional staff, gaining exposure to complex legal matters, client service, litigation strategy, transactional work, and the day to day operations of a modern law firm.

Equally important, our internship program emphasizes mentorship. Interns are paired with experienced professionals who provide guidance, support, and insight into both the legal profession and career development. Through direct interaction with attorneys, networking opportunities, educational programs, and practical assignments, students gain valuable skills, confidence, and a deeper understanding of the profession.

We believe that creating opportunities for young people to learn, grow, and succeed is an important part of our responsibility as members of the legal community.

Many of our interns leave the program with lasting professional relationships, enhanced career prospects, and a greater appreciation for the value of hard work, integrity, and service. We are proud of the role our internship program plays in helping talented students take the first steps toward successful and rewarding careers.

Happy Flag Day from all of us at Goetz Platzer LLP.

As our nation prepares to celebrate 250 years of independence, today is a time to reflect on the remarkable American story and the flag that has stood at its center through moments of triumph, sacrifice, challenge, and hope.

For nearly two and a half centuries, the Stars and Stripes have represented far more than a nation. They symbolize the courage of those who fought for our freedom, the determination of those who built our communities, and the enduring belief that each generation can leave this country stronger than the one it inherited.

As the flag waves over our homes, schools, businesses, and places of worship, it reminds us of the blessings of liberty and the responsibility we share to preserve them for future generations.

Today, we honor our flag, our history, and the countless Americans whose service, sacrifice, and love of country have shaped the nation we are privileged to call home.

Happy Flag Day. God Bless America. 🇺🇸
