Best lawyer I ever hired

Was looking for a DUI lawyer that was experienced and affordable. I came across Dennis Gonzalez jr by a friend who recommended me that got her casa dismissed. I was very nervous with my case and Dennis explained every possible out come truthfully. I felt more at ease knowing he was handling my case. ...At the end he got my case dismissed and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great lawyer.

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Gonzalez was prompt and ready to handle my case. He communicated with me well about how he was going to proceed and handle the case. After the trial, he immediately communicated to me the outcome of the case. I had hired other attorneys previously and none of them has been as fast and well ver...sed as Mr. Gonzalez. I highly recommend him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
