Understanding and knowledgeable

Mr. Gobena is very compassionate about his job and takes it seriously. I went to him based on recommendation from a friend. He was very deliberate on how to go about my case and knew what he was doing. I felt like I was in good hands the whole time. He is a very understanding and respectful. I found ...him to be a competent immigration lawyer and would recommend him very much.

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.
