The Goolsby Law Office, LLC, stands with Minnesotans who’ve been wronged by businesses that ignore consumer protection laws. We focus exclusively on helping individuals assert their rights, offering clear guidance and strong advocacy every step of the way.

Attorney John H. GoolsbyAttorney John H. Goolsby is an experienced litigator who knows how to push cases forward and win. He gives every client the focus and care their situation deserves, combining strategic legal action with a steady, client-centered approach.

And in most cases, you pay nothing unless you recover money. Consumer protection laws require the wrongdoer to cover your legal fees, which means you never need to come up with money out-of-pocket to pursue justice.

We believe people harmed by false credit reporting, unfair practices, or corporate misconduct shouldn’t have to pay for accountability. Congress designed laws like the Fair Credit Reporting Act for exactly that reason. When businesses break the rules, you may be entitled not only to compensation for the harm done, but also statutory damages meant to deter future misconduct.

If a lawsuit isn’t necessary, we’ll tell you during your free consultation. But when legal action is the only path to real justice, you’ll have a firm that knows how to fight—and how to win—right by your side.
