Horrendous Experience and Horrible Lawyer

I hired Mr. Gomez to represent me on a minor misdemeanor charge. He had a great website that made him come across as an experienced and aggressive lawyer. When I meet with him in person before hiring him he seemed nice and not to worry about my charge that he would get it dismissed. After I hired him... it was all down hill from there. His communication with me was terrible, in fact he intentionally played games with me, intentionally tried getting me to go off (which I didn't) and was very augmentative. He acted like a 13 year old girl immature little girl. Mr. Gomez DID NOT fight for me or properly represent me as a defense lawyer, he fought with me. While in the courtroom he was practicing walking in while wearing his "man purse", like he was inexperienced and trying to build his self esteem. Would never hire again!

Previous office is not so Kind But Mr. Gomez is a stand up guy!

He helped me greatly with my case. Mr. Gomez walked me through the process in a way I could understand. He has moved to Morgan and Morgan and has still helped me with follow up question years later. Dedicated to provide good service for his clients.

Great Attorney

Mr. Gomez has handled several issues for me and is very trustworthy and hard working. He knows the law and is always able to advise me properly when I have a legal problem. HIGHLY recommend this attorney to anyone seeking an experienced criminal defense lawyer.

Great representation

I found myself in a very difficult situation and Mr. Gomez truly helped me. He is very caring and knowledgeable. When every one else thought I should just plea, he came in and saved my future. Thank you Mr. Gomez

Do not hire this lawyer, he is not good!

Had a horrible experience with this lawyer! He did not get me a good outcome, even though I did not do what I was charged with. Tav did not fight for me like he said he would before hiring him. He spent more time playing games/ arguing with me than he did defending me. It is obvious that he does not ...have a lot of experience and is incompetent. I would never recommend anyone to him. You would be better off hiring a public pretender.

"As a former prosecutor, Tav has the courtroom experience necessary to fight for his clients in the areas of criminal defense and personal injury law. Tav is knowledgeable, experienced, and perhaps most importantly passionate. Tav Gomez is precisely the type of attorney you want on your side."

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.
