WILLIAM GOLDAPP, JR.: of counsel to the firm
Mr. Goldapp has been a member in continued good standing of the Texas Bar since 1977. He received his law degree from the University of Houston. He joined his father at The Law Offices of William Goldapp, a thriving personal injury firm. Two years later the elder Goldapp retired and William, Jr. became president of the firm. He quickly gained a reputation among the insurance adjusters as a hard-working attorney who argued passionately on behalf of his clients. His firm became recognized for the values he instilled. His philosophy was simple:
The client comes first. There is no substitute for hard work. Each client is treated with respect and with total honesty. All phone calls are accepted and not dodged. You follow through on all commitments. The pursuit of justice requires dogged determination, dedication, and focus.
This philosophy continues today and is instilled in each new employee. As a result, the firm, known today as Goldapp-Rodriguez, enjoys a solid reputation not only among its loyal clients, but also among its adversaries. Its reputation for personal, honest, reliable service is so ingrained that clients whose case was handled 10 or 20 years ago still call today to refer their friends or to request our services on a new case.
Mr. Goldapp took a well-deserved retirement in June of 2000 and has a valued role as a wise advisor in his capacity as Counsel to the firm.
