Amazing Attorney

I can't tell you how glad i am that I found Orlando Gonzalez. I was desperately searching not just for any attorney but one that would aggressively pursue all legal avenues considering my current circumstances. At times I was a major pain in the butt but Orlando continued to be professional throughou...t the entire duration of my case and was always there every time I had questions and I mean every time. I have yet to find a lawyer like this who will consistently answer your questions, take your phone calls, reply to your text and emails, I was not expecting the level of service and professionalism I received based on my past experience with attorneys. All I can say is he did for me what most lawyers either couldn't do or would say was impossible and made my problem legally disappear. Trust me when I say, you want this attorney in your corner when sh** hits the fan.

Orlando Gonzalez is a man with a passion for helping the innocent. He never failed to show me that he cared about me as a human being. He took everything I said into consideration and listened to what I had to say. He never failed to keep me updated on the current status of my court dates and what... was happening on the other side of the phone. For what he has done, was a tremendous gift for me. He has saved a reputation, he has proven that the judicial system is in favor of good people. For what he has done for me over the past month, I am forever grateful and will never forget his name; And I will always come back to Mr. Gonzalez in the future if need be. He is a lawyer, and also becomes a friend. I highly recommend Mr. Gonzalez for all of your defense needs.

Outstanding results and communication

I was facing 90 days for (V.O.P) violation of probation stemming from a DUI conviction. Mr. Gonzalez worked his buns off for me. He drove up to Martin County for my appearance. He arrived early to do the necessary behind the scene work and was a real comfort to my wife. I had been jailed due to the... warrant and was awaiting my Wednesday first appearance. My wife and I could hardly believe it. I was released that day without any further jail time, probation or fines. He promptly answered and returned all of my calls. My advise, go meet him. You’ll be really glad that you did. The guy is pittbull and will get you the best possible outcome. M. G.

A Man of his Word.

My mother and I recently hired Mr. Gonzalez as a criminal defense lawyer due to some legal trouble I found myself in. I was innocent and felt I had no one to turn to for help. Mr. Gonzalez genuinely cares for his clients, he doesn't look at you as a dollar sign. He would always return my calls and te...xt or get back to me in a timely manner. He believe I was innocent and that made me feel so much better knowing I had a lawyer who was fighting for my innocemce. And he did just that & won. All 3 of my charges got Dropped/Dismissed. Well worth the money and Orlando is definitely an affordable choice. All in all I would rate higher is possible. Mr. Gonzalez will take care of you, just trust him and be honest.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Orlando Gonzalez for several years. He is a gentleman. He is courteous to everyone. He is fluent in English and Spanish. He is one of the most personable lawyers around but until today, I did not realize how good he was and how persuasive he could be. We handled a forfeiture matter wherein a client was being detained at an airport and his personal property was taken by DEA. I defered to Orlando's experience in Forfeiture, which is unmatched, and he was able to talk the DEA agents into returning the personal property to the client and no arrest was made. You could argue it was miracle or you could argue that he performed as a seasoned magician. I was impressed and this was only the second time in my 13 year career that someone impressed me. I plan on working on future cases with Mr. Gonzalez as he proved he brings a lot to the table. If you are looking for a seasoned attorney, he is worthy of your consideration."
