2nd and 3rd ct OWI

I was cited for and OWI 2nd and battery to a law enforcement officer in 2022 . A couple months later was cited for and OWI 3rd. Jason helped me a lot through every aspect of hearings, arraignments, options I had, and what the prosecutor was likely going to present. He asked me for all paperwork neces...sary through my treatment to present to the judge to help with my case. All details considered in my case, I was given minimal time on the bracelet and all other charges dropped. I would recommend Jason for any criminal charge because he is very thorough when explaining things, and answers any questions you may ask in depth. I felt I had someone on my side throughout my experience that truly wanted the best outcome for me.

???

I hired Jason Gonzalez for an OWI case. At first he was very courteous and informative. As the case proceeded I received a notice in the mail stating I missed a required court appearance. Jason was supposed to show up on my behalf to represent me, to this day I don’t even know if he showed up. Furthe...rmore, I was assured by Jason that he would not make any legal decisions on my behalf without my consent. As the case was nearing the final stages Jason was becoming more difficult to reach. Not knowing what was going on with my case, and after repeated attempts to reach Jason, I waited. One day I received a letter in the mail stating I had been convicted. I couldn’t believe that Jason would not have contacted me before my judgment, instead it seems he threw me under the bus. I attempted to reach out to Jason after my judgement several times and he dodged every one of these attempts. BEWARE!!! I will never hire this attorney again and would not recommend him to anyone.

Jason dedicates his life to helping and giving clients hope

Jason Gonzalez is a brilliant lawyer. If you are in jail he has a special number you can always reach him at. He comes and visits his clients at jail. Jason worked with my family to keep them informed and to calm and reassure them. His motions are expertly written, he knows the law inside and ou...t. Jason always believed in me. The case was complicated and virtually a character assassination. The cops are corrupt the District Attorney out for blood. Is this really the land of the free and home of the brave? Jason worked tirelessly for me. Most lawyers never answer your calls or come to your home. Jason did those things. He cared about my life. In the end he brought someone into my life that is my saving grace. Thank you Jason for being my lawyer and friend.
