Terrible listening skills, talks over you
Consulted with this attorney regarding potential representation. A proper consult was impossible because he was constantly cutting me off while I was speaking, then started talking about pursuing a court filing option that I already told him I didn't want to pursue. That's because he didn't "liste...
Mr. Hall: I'm sorry you did not find our call helpful; we strive to be of service to all callers when possible. I do appreciate your feedback and would like to take this chance to comment on your points. 1. Re: “proper consult was impossible”: We spoke on the phone for 10 minutes. For the first several minutes, I didn’t ask much but listened carefully to your detailed explanation of the problem you are having with your neighbors, the demand letter your current attorney wrote them, the response you received, and the reasons why you are seeking new counsel. 2. Re: “pursuing a court filing option”: Based on my experience handling the type of dispute you are having, I gave you my thoughts on what your next legal step might be. I understood that you wanted to pursue a different legal approach. But it was one that I did not agree with. When a client (or potential client) asks a lawyer to pursue a course of action that the attorney cannot support, it is the lawyer’s ethical obligation to turn down the matter, which I did. 3. Re: “I expect for that attorney to LISTEN to what I tell them”: I understood that you wanted to pursue a different legal avenue, one that I respectfully declined. I tried to refer you back to a lawyer referral service that might provide you with other attorney names that might be willing to work with you. Unfortunately, you hung up on me before I could provide you with their phone number. I’m sorry you felt the need to personally attack me about this call. I hope you find the right attorney for your situation.

He made an otherwise unpleasant situation manageable, ultimately leading to a favorable outcome in my case. Though I hope to not requ...

Highly Recommend
I was introduced to Mr. Gonzalez by my original attorney. I was very hesitant to allow Mr. Gonzalez to take my case over, since I really liked my first attorney, but I could not have been happier with the results that Mr. Gonzalez got for me. Mr Gonzalez was very professional, always kept me informed...

Very responsive with very little notice
Last August, I found myself in a highly improbable situation, the minutaie of which is too personal to discuss, and I took a friend's recommendation to retain the counsel of Mr. Gonzalez. As soon as we began correspondence, I was struck by his sense of urgency and professionalism. With little more th...
