Great lawyer.

I hired Jason regarding a stalking case and he was affordable and very professional. Jason's office is in a great location and if he is in court and unable to answer his phone you can leave a message with his assistant and he will get back to you. Jason was easy to work with, has payment plans availa...ble if needed and is works around your schedule as much as possible.

Posted by Andrew | June 08, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Reccommended

After multiple calls to different traffic attorneys in the Madison area, I was directed the Mr. Gonzalez for a speeding ticket (23 MPH over). Jason got my ticket reduced greatly and at an affordable rate. He kept me informed through the entire process and was very courteous.

Posted by Barb | November 21, 2016 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Didn't do much

I hired him because he sent me a letter after my DUI....obviously, he checks police records to see who might need a lawyer. I bit and I'm sorry I did as he didn't know anything about DUI cases even though he said he did. he said I wouldn't need an interlock and of course, I ended up with an interlo...ck. Once you pay him up front, have fun trying to get him to return your calls. I give him 2 stars because he represented me in court and I didn't have to be there. I thank him for that, but otherwise, I don't think he did anything for me and he certainly didn't explain the consequences because I don't think he knew them.

Jason Gonzalez was great!

Jason was great. He was very helpful in my case. My case was not the typical OWI case as I was not drinking. He was very knowledgeable and helpful to my case. Jason helped things go smoothly and quickly and get all charges dropped for me. I am very happy with all the work he did for me and would reco...mmend him to anyone in need of a great lawyer!
