Kenny R. Goza

MISLEADING, MISREPRESENTATION, CALL AVOIDANCE GWC has gotten away with thousands upon thousands of dollars mishandling our cases! Kenny Goza misled and misrepresented us (my husband and I) for two years, and now is avoiding our calls, and emails. What a terrible mistake it was trusting GWC Lawyer...s with our cases. I regret hiring him so, so much… At the very start of our cases, he gave us a list of things to be completed and guaranteed that as long as said list was all done neither one of us would see the inside of a jail cell (his words). So, we hired him. We completed every little thing he said was required, and still my husband got put behind bars. They gave my husband, a disabled veteran with spinal injuries who treats his pain with cannabis, 5 years to serve for cultivating cannabis. We had too many plants growing at a time and Kenny didn’t even bring up having the plants for THC. Most of them were only clones and didn’t even produce THC at that stage. Mr. Goza did not fight for us one bit. He didn’t even attempt to plea down our charges. We did everything he advised us to do that he claimed would help our case (which incurred fees not included in his nearly $20,000 fee). We thought we were in good hands, and boy, were we so wrong. On several occasions he called us by the wrong names. Two years of going to court with this guy and he never even bothered getting our names right. One time he sent me home from court with someone else's sensitive court documents (which I returned). I didn’t even realize they weren’t mine until I got home. He's disorganized; and you can tell by how he holds himself in court that he's very lazy. He always rushed through our questions before court and showed up with only 5 minutes to spare before court began. He was almost 2 hours late for one of our hearings and had no one contact us to let us know he’d be running late. We never missed a payment, and our cases were paid in full long before they were finished. He made sure to mention that he needed payment (not exaggerating) before every single court hearing until it was paid off. He asked for half up front and said the other half could be paid in installments. Every one of our court dates he claimed that the minimum payment wouldn’t do and that we’d have to figure out how to get larger payments to him, which we did. Kenny Goza claimed he wasn’t aware of the evidence that would be presented at my husband’s sentencing hearing. Evidence that swayed the judge’s decision against him in the end. Evidence that we, given an inkling of an opportunity to submit the document, could have proved was from a legitimate source. A simple bank statement showing a one-time deposit of inheritance money my husband’s recently deceased grandmother had left him. The judge said it had to have been drug money. After the judge had sentenced my husband, I was beside myself in tears. Kenny Goza said to call him if I had any more questions. Kenny wasn’t even able to get his sentencing paperwork either. Well, I had some follow-up questions for Mr. Goza but now he's AVOIDING MY CALLS!! Several times I have called his office and left messages with his secretary. She always takes my name and number, and says he’ll get back to me just as soon as he’s able. I’ve tried to call outside of court hours, and outside of lunch break times. I’ve tried emailing him, but still nothing. I’ve not received a single return communication from him since that day. Kenny Goza had no problem taking/returning our calls when we were still paying on what we owed for his crappy services!! What a heartless, slimy dog this guy is! I don't know how he sleeps at night after what he's done to our family! I wish negative stars were a thing. Don’t waste your time or money trusting these scoundrels.
