Alexandra Gonzalez-Waddington

You are not alone. Many of us were where you are now. An accusation of sexual assault or rape is a major life-changing event for any military service member. Like me, you will be ignored, marginalized, and shuffled between nameless and swamped DoD-provided defense lawyers; you'll be told to "just ...wait" or "stand by" until things get to the worst possible point; your former friends and co-workers will look at you with doubt and talk about you behind your back - the next few years will be a defining point in your life, and to make it out intact I highly recommend you hire a dedicated professional like Alexandra Waddington. My case took nearly two years to clear, during which time I was shuffled between four TDS DoD-supplied defense attorneys. It was a nightmare repeatedly having to explain the intricacies of the case, especially as my ex-partner continued to harass me. This harassment was completely ignored by DoD, as I was the accused. The military defense didn't even answer their phones much of the time. The process of locating a civilian lawyer is also not intuitive, as many of the websites are misleading or confusing. Again, consider what your life is worth to you. Consider the lifelong repercussions of a dishonorable or other-than-honorable discharge, and realize that you will not be able to fight the vast resources of the U.S. Government alone. The Waddington team actually answers their phones. They text back in a timely manner. They will review all the evidence, even as it continues to change and grow over time, and they will construct the best possible case to save your life. I know it seems like a lot of money, but I feel to this day that it's some of the best money I have ever spent. Do yourself a favor; before talking to anyone, hire Alexandra.

I recommend this lawyer to all ranks and branches in the military from enlisted to officers. I'm enlisted soldier station in Vilseck, Germany. I'm being in the army for 8 plus years, just when I was running out of ways to fight for my life. I ran into this lawyer website while I was doing research on...line. I was overthinking depressed, I felt like the world was falling on top of me. God showed me this lawyer, if your reading this is because your thinking of who to hire I can tell you right now your in the right place I was facing several years in prison for drunk and disorderly, disturbing the peace, assault, adultery. I was proven NOT GUILTY OF ALL CHARGES. she will be straight forward with you and honest I recommend her services. Trust her and don't worry. leave it in her hands just listen to the advice and everything she tells you to do. and you'll be thanking her for the rest of your life. freedom is priceless. Blessings,

What’s your life’s work worth? I believe many of Alexandra and Michael’s clients are junior in time/grade in the military. That being the case, many of the posted reviews are from the perspective of younger Service Members or their parents. As a more ‘seasoned’ Service Member, I have spent over tw...o decades in uniform. That’s when I found my family and my life’s work under attack by false accusations. Highly competent legal representation by Gonzalez & Waddington, LLC was the only way we succeeded in saving both. Bottom line, “NOT GUILTY on all counts” was the truth and it is what the judge read from a panel of my peers at the conclusion of my trial. The alternative: unthinkable – incarcerated for over 30 years, sex offender registration for life, a dishonorable discharge, and a family destroyed…by lies and a system heavily weighted in favor of the alleged victim. Candidly, I did have Great Expectations of Alexandra and Michael. My expectations were exceeded! Is it expensive? – only if you mistakenly frame the cost as anything other than an investment…in you. Give yourself permission – YOU are worth it! The great people of Gonzalez & Waddington – Alexandra, Michael, and Sandra – were phenomenal through the entire process. Over a 14-month ordeal from first being notified by CID of an impending investigation until the end of a 3-day trial. All of this turmoil stemming from sexual assault allegations dating back years. The circumstances of the allegation and the actions of the alleged victim across the years until the trial are incredible and near beyond belief. I give you that insight to say that Alexandra, Michael, and our assigned Trial Defense Service (TDS) attorney had a very complex case to manage. Professional, smart, and caring accurately describe how they aided my family and me in preparing and fighting for our present lives and future dreams. We did our part to gather information/facts, submit our character witness list, and follow careful protocols of avoiding social media and not making statements or discussing our case with ANYONE outside of our legal team. Our level of input was matched or exceeded at every turn. Military law is complex; don’t fight it alone. You need the best legal representation to successfully work yourself out of the maze. You need Alexandra and Michael on your Team. Make the investment! I am forever indebted to them and happily recommend their services to anyone facing serious UCMJ charges. What’s your life’s work worth? Don’t squander another minute!

Two years ago, I did my consultation with Alexandra I was under investigation for sexual assault by a crazy female that did not even know who her victim was and just wanted media attention, the case seemed almost never-ending. I began calling around asking attorneys what their advice was. Alexandra h...ad answered my phone call and gave me hope that this could go away she instantly took an interest in my case and started helping me while my TDS attorney did literally nothing for 2 years. by talking to her she sounded very educated and confident and concerned I than proceeded to hire her and her husband MR Waddington and got an outstanding outcome on my case they worked hand and hand if Mr. Waddington wasn't working on one thing she was doing another by advocating for me making sure I did not get screwd over. Although it was a huge misunderstanding about the fees I would not hesitate to hire them again.

I initially did my consultation with Alex approximately eight months after I was accused by an airman in my squadron of sexual assault. The airman was upset that I broke up with her and she filed an unrestricted report against me, then she also colluded with other females in my squadron to make up ot...her allegations about me. My squadron and wing leadership came down hard on me and they began treating me like a guilty person, without any form of due process. My squadron commander began stacking paperwork against me to aid the JAG with building a case against me. I did not feel like my ADC was adequate or prepared enough to see my case through a court martial and she always seemed to never have enough time to sit down with me to discuss my case. After doing some research, all fingers pointed towards the Waddington's. During our consultation, Alex listened and asked several questions. I could tell that she actually gave a crap about me and my family. Two months after I hired the Waddington's my case suddenly got dropped and I thought everything was done and I would be back to some normalcy soon, but that was far from the truth. Several months later, I was notified that I would be facing a Board of Inquiry for administrative discharge. Long story short, the dirty JAG officers and my succubus accuser and her friends got crushed by Mr. Waddingtion. Michael surgically cross examined them, which at times was very entertaining, and the truth finally came out. 9 of the 11 allegations were thrown out by the board members, including all sexual assault allegations and all the allegations brought up by her friends and my commander. I got hit with fraternization and adultery which I was upfront about almost 2 years ago when this all started. My only regret is that I didn't hire the Waddington's from day one! Thank you guys for all that you've done for me! I highly recommend this team to anyone who needs a strong defense!
