Dorothy Sims, Unknown Attorney on Jul 14, 2015

I was brought in on a case involving expert witnesses and psychiatric components. Leo was more prepared that just about every other attorney I've worked with. He had true compassion for his client and seemed to have the facts and dates essentially memorized, which is amazing. He followed through on my suggestions on what books to get, how to present certain issues. (My practice is limited to helping other lawyers with experts and I have no cases of my own and sadly, when i make recommendations some lawyers don't follow them to the detriment of the client) Leo knew the case law, the politics of the case which can sometimes be more important than the actual facts. In short, this man ROCKED IT. And the proof was in the resolution of the case which was jaw droppingly good. He was freaking awesome.
Ya’Sheaka Williams, Workers compensation Attorney on Jun 25, 2015

I have known Leo Gomez for over 20 years and have served with him on bar groups and committees and discussed workers' compensation issues with him over the years. He is an excellent workers' compensation attorney and zealous advocate for his clients but does so in a highly professional manner.

Leo is well known and regarded in our community as an excellent advocate for his clients and an expert in workers compensation law. I have known him for many years, and have personally observed the tireless dedication he gives to his cases. As others here have mentioned, Leo is exceptionally ethical and honest. Above all, Leo is a lawyer who places his client's best interest above anything else. I have had the chance to speak with some of his former clients, and have repeatedly heard the phrase "Leo wasn't just my lawyer, he became a trusted friend". Without reservation, I endorse this lawyer.
Terri Cromley, Workers compensation Attorney on Mar 6, 2015
Relationship: Worked together on matter
Leo has mediated a number of cases with me. He knows his stuff and has the ability to get the job done while maintaining the highest ethical standards. I have had a number of mediations that I don't think would have resolved with anyone else mediating them. I highly endorse Leo both as an attorney and mediator.
Jennifer Pollock, Workers compensation Attorney on Feb 2, 2015

I endorse Leo Gomez. I have had many cases against Leo over the years. Leo is well-respected and admired in the legal community by everyone who deals with him. He is honorable in his dealings, and he is always true to his word. He is always available and easy to contact. I have witnessed his handling of scores of cases over the years, so I know that he is detail oriented, knowledgeable, and aggressive. He is a true advocate for his clients in all situations and is quite persistent when he feels his clients are entitled to benefits. I have noticed that his caring demeanor makes his clients feel at ease even in stressful courtroom situations. I would trust Leo Gomez with the needs of a family member, because I feel he would treat them as if they were his family as well. You can also trust Leo.

I enthusiastically and with great sincerity endorse and recommend Leo Gomez to any person needing legal representation in a workers compensation case and to any attorney needing a mediator. I worked as co-counsel with Leo on a complex and very serious injury case for more than 5 years. Based upon my 39 years of practicing law representing injured people I have interacted with thousands of different attorneys. Leo is without question one of the finest and most competent attorneys I have known or worked with. His knowledge and passion for the law and concern for his clients legal rights is second to none. His honesty is impeccable. His work ethic is extraordinary. l urge any person needing a workers compensation attorney to contact Leo and discuss your case with him before making a decision to retain a lawyer. I know my opinion regarding Leo is shared by any other attorney or past client who has worked with him.
