Phenomenal attorney!

Mr. Garcia and his team were extremely professional and helped me tremendously with my case! They were very diligent in getting the best possible outcome for my situation. Mr. Garcia is very knowledgeable in what he does and let me know exactly what he was doing every step of the way. I was never in ...the dark as far as to what was going on with my case. You can tell this man has decades of experience! I highly recommend the Gilbert G. Garcia Law Firm if you are looking for legal representation. His team did a phenomenal job for me and I assure you, they will do the same for you!

Mr. Garcia exceed our expectations!

Mr. Garcia agreed to try to clean separate felony and misdemeanor charges off our son's record at a discounted price for the two. He further explained the errors made by others in filing and reviewing the charges, and was realistic in his assessment of our chances for the judges to agree to the moti...on for non-disclosure. I believe it was his knowledge and professionalism that the motion for the felony non-disclosure was granted last year. He advised we wait until this year for the second charge, and I just received an email from his legal assistant. Mr. Garcia had filed a motion for nondisclosure, the DA agreed, the judge signed it, and it was attached to the email! My son didn't even need to appear in court. Mr. Garcia is also very personable, and I highly recommend him.

I am glad the record cleaning turned out the way you had hoped, and your son can now have a clean background!

2nd Time I've Hired Mr Garcia

"Best defense attorney in Montgomery County" Gilbert fit me in for a consult the same day I got out of jail. He reviewed my papers, and got out his law book and showed/explained in detail what I was dealing with. Then he asked me what happened. He did not judge, he simply asked clarifying qu...estions. He told me exactly what to do and when to do it. Before every court date he met with me prior and we discussed what could happen. I never was un-informed. I felt he personally cared about the outcome of my case. On the last day, we spent 5 hours in court and I could tell he was negotiating and working the DA. He got me such a good, and unexpected deal, I cried. I was also dealing with a custody case at the same time, and every family lawyer I consulted with said "I had the best in the county" or "I couldn't have chosen a better defense". His staff is also amazing. His legal assistant, Fran, was very easy to email and get an update from, or ask questions to. Gilbert calls you back the same day, if he isn't able to take your phone call. And as mentioned in title, this is the second time I've hired Gilbert, and I am recommend him 10,000%. And lastly, he offered a 3 month pay off plan for his retainer fee. He really makes it possible to go on with life, after these life altering events happen.

A Passionate, Professional, Experienced Law Firm...Period!

I knew I was going to be in 'Good Hands' after reading Mr. Garcia's resume.....his 'Age', his Educational Background at two of the finest Universities here in the U.S.,....Notre Dame & University of Texas. Then there is his 'Staff' at the 'Gilbert G. Garcia Law Firm'........'Debbie'/'Chris'/'Laurie' ...and probably others that I'm unaware of. Mr. Garcia and his team ALL work in Unison together, and ALWAYS communicating with each other AND with me, the Client! I was NEVER in the dark. Responses to my emails were not only prompt, but, usually within minutes 'The Same Day!', and the same with Mr. Garcia himself.....as Debbie told me initially,..."Gilbert Loves Emails". There was absolutely no doubt in my mind while Mr. Garcia was representing myself/case that he was putting 'His All' into it. I could go on and on with 'Praise', but, simply put, look no further if you are in need of Total Passionate, Honest, Professional, Experienced Legal Representation.....GO DIRECTLY TO THE 'GILBERT G. GARCIA LAW FIRM'. Mr. Garcia is highly respected and 'KNOWN' by most court systems, and THAT SAYS A LOT! THANK YOU Mr. Garcia AND STAFF for resolving my case.

Gilbert is an amazing lawyer. From the very first call he was attentive to my situation and made me feel like his only client. His staff is top notch and all display a very professional yet friendly attitude with me as well as eachother. As for my case Gilbert did exactly what he said he was going to... do for me. I feel I paid a very fair price for the service I revived for this firm. Gilbert was extremely knowledgeable about the laws pertaining to my case and got me the best out come possible, an out come so good I know I could have never gotten alone. I highly recommend Gilbert Garcia and his firm anytime you need a lawyer. However as for me I hope I never need to call him again for business, but if I do I have his number on hand .
