Mrs. Gonzales was very professional. She handled the succession of my mother. She explained everything clearly and answered all questions I had. She emailed me regularly with any new information. I was very please with her and will use her as an attorney again. Thanks Mrs. Gonzales! Fonda Perlander

Carlee White Gonzales is extremely professional. She was understanding of our specific needs concerning our living wills, regular wills, medical power of attorney, regular power of attorney, and home ownership gifting. She is intelligent and understood how complicated family dynamics affected our legal planning. She is prepared and is highly competent to answer any sensitive legal questions or concerns. I am confident that there will be no confusion or misunderstanding of our wishes when my husband and I pass on. This was money well spent to have peace of mind. Don't wait until it's too late to get your affairs in order. It was a huge relief to have Carlee take this off our hands so quickly. It only took two very short meetings to have done. It could have been done in one meeting, but I chose to meet twice because of my own specific and lengthy legal matters.

Carlee to the Rescue!

Carlee was very helpful and took the time to speak with me about my situation. We had a phone consultation since I was located in another state. Carlee located the Civil Code article that I had been searching for, which enabled me to prove that my brother owed me a significant amount of money. Thankfully I didn’t have to get into expensive litigation with my brother. Because I was armed with the Civil Code my brother gave me the money that he owed me. I really appreciate Carlee for helping me with my situation and I’m truly grateful for her assistance. I would highly recommend Carlee.

Carlee is kind and caring even fearless under pressure. She walked into the lions den and never even flinched. She has a presentation that outstanding she gets respect and demands attention. When she stands even a very seasoned veteran takes notice. She is so human and in touch with all aspects of her clients needs. She is very affordable. She is worth so much more than her current rates. She truly cares about bringing integrity and affordability into her everyday work. Most notably she is prompt and will be on time to assist you. I had a Wonderful experience with her. Baton Rouge needs more attorneys like you! Carlee is honest and Truly the best of the best. Thank You

Carlee prepared a will and trust for my wife and I. She made process easy and it cost far less than other attorneys quoted me. She also handled my grandfather's succession and got it done within a week. She returned calls and kept us involved the whole time. I recommend her to anyone that needs an attorney.
