A Pleasure to Work With

When I had my car accident I didn’t know how to find a good attorney not to mention that my case was a bit complicated as I drive for Uber an missed 5 months of work as a result, so I just picked randomly. After going thru a few bafoons, I was recommended to Polo from my chiropractor. Whew thank Go...d, because Polo worked on the “other [insurance] side” prior to doing what he’s doing now and it gave great perspective and a lot of time saving minutia to expedite my case. I have to say he was not at all what I expected. He was actually nice, bright, educated, efficient and really good at his craft not to mention great people skills and a pleasure to work with. When I first heard the excruciating news from the insurance company lowballing me I was in shock and Polo happily informed me that he would get a fair amount in the end…and we did. I was thrilled with the outcome and would highly recommend Polo to anyone who needs a good attorney!

Helped is out a lot!

Polo was great with our claim. We were rear ended and needed chiropractic care. Polo was able to handle everything with the insurance so that we didn't have to. The chiropractor was paid and we received payment for loss time and personal injury. Polo kept us updated with the claim. He really showed h...e cared about my family and I.

Highly recommend Hipolito Gonzalez III

My Husband and I were hit by a drunk driver that decided to flee the scene. Dealing with police reports, doctor visits and insurance carriers with all their statements was quite the full time job. Hipolito Gonzalez Law Firm helped make everything so much easier for us. He did all the back and forth n...egotiating with the insurance companies. Gave us invaluable information and advice on what to do every step of the way. Made the whole awful experience a little easier with every encounter. He never stopped working and got us what we were entitled to on our settlement. Thank you for all the hard work and professionalism your firm showed us in our time of need.

Thank you for the trust and confidence you placed in selecting me to represent your family. Being hit by a drunk driver is an awful experience to go through. I'm glad we were able to help guide you during that time and secure the settlement that you deserved.

Dilgent and Trustworthy

Strongly recommend Polo Gonzalez for diligent, motivated, and trustworthy legal representation. Engaged Polo with more than one matter (complex) related to my small business and Polo took the time to explain the process, options, implications and chart the best course of legal action. Polo remained s...teadfast while protecting both my business and personal interests.

You're in good hands.

Courteous, professional, and efficient. Mr. Gonzalez kept me updated as to the status of my case every step of the way and was readily available when I had a question. He made an otherwise unpleasant situation manageable, ultimately leading to a favorable outcome in my case. Though I hope to not requ...ire his services anytime soon, I'd certainly hire him again and would highly recommend Mr. Gonzalez to anyone.
