Great Experience!

I had contacted Jorge regarding a legal matter that my wife was going through with her employer, and I was absolutely blown away by his willingness to listen to our concerns and offer practical professional advice without even bringing up the issue of money until he had clarified our situation for us.... Before contacting Jorge I had called several other attorneys, and one after the other would immediately stop me as I started to explain my situation in order to tell me that I needed to make an appointment, and that that appointment would cost X amount... Jorge is not like that at all. We are incredibly grateful for the time that he took to reassure us that we were in very capable hands. His genuine desire to help is conveyed immediately through his communication style: professional and caring. We highly recommend Jorge!

First Class Service

My situation was simple. I was working for a corporation that wasn't paying me for a full day's work. This corporation made profit off my hard work with out proper compensation. Well one cold day in Chicago I decided to stand UP. I called Jorge and immediately felt a since of serenity. He filed ...my case promptly and kept me updated till the very end. Jorge was more than a lawyer, he was a friend. Truly professional.

Very professional & nice

I found Mr. Gamboa to be very kind, professional, & thorough. He asked me questions, and made me feel at ease, as well as allowed me to explain my situation (& ask questions) without being "cut off". I would highly recommend him.

Excellent

Jorge was great! He helped me settle a case in a very short period of time and with little to no fight from the opposing attorney. I am very pleased with the results and even more pleased at how professional and informed Jorge was. He knew my case in and out. Thank you.

The very BEST representation!

Jorge Gamboa was nothing short of amazing in representing my case against a billion-dollar corporation. He works tirelessly to ensure you receive due justice and settlement quickly. He has a brilliant legal mind, is trustworthy, knowledgeable, very communicative and responsive. He's the perfect balan...ce of everything you need mentally and legally when you're navigating your way through a lawsuit against a global corporation who would undoubtedly eat you alive. He is very aggressive his approach, holding the opposing counsel to strict deadlines, garnishing requests, and accountability of labor laws. I always knew the status of my case and where we were at any given time. When I emailed or called I would have a response within the hour. He makes you believe you are his only, most-important client. I actually don't know if this man leaves the office, ever. Although I hope to never have to file a lawsuit again, without question, I would seek Jorge Gamboa to represent me!
