Great Attorney!

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 Perla...nder

Thorough and complete understanding of our legal concerns.

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 le...gal 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.

Will And Succession

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 at...torney.

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.
