Couldn't ask for a better and more dedicated lawyer

I had some unexpected legal issues that threatened to affect my future career and potentially put me behind bars. I was charged with four misdemeanors and though I knew I was innocent of all the charges, the person who I was up against was in a position of authority and made it hard to drop the case.... Mr. Gonzalez was the second lawyer that I contacted and I thank God that he led me to get a consultation with him. He was professional, personable, respectful, energetic, EXTREMELY knowledgeable, and I could tell that he cared about my well-being and that of my family. On top of all of that he was also thousands of dollars MORE AFFORDABLE and much better than the lawyer I spoke to initially. He was also very resourceful. He had a great knowledge of the judges, prosecutors and precedents in the area and that was extremely valuable in my case. He was also very prompt in returning calls and emails. He and I believed that we could have taken the court to a jury trial and won the case, however in the interest of time, I requested to look for other ways to resolve the case. He laid out all of the options that I had and helped me pick an option that made the most sense for me time-wise and that was safest for my future. I ultimately avoided jail time, I will not have anything stay on my record and we resolved this in a timely manner. I cannot thank Mr. Gonzalez enough for his hard work and authenticity. My family and I are forever grateful for his services.

Relationship: Friend

"Eddie is smart,talented and a self-starter as an attorney. He gets so many cases from referrals because he is unafraid to take a case to trial. Some of his clients insist that they go to trial, often because they have heard that Eddie is a tough fighter in a courtroom. He has accomplished a lot in a short time and I think more great things are ahead."
