Norma Gonzales

I hired Norma Gonzalez in 2014 for a divorce. She required a $5000 deposit. She assisted with filing the initial papers. We never made an appointment to the court since I reconciled with my spouse. we had some exchanges via email mostly with her assistant. Once reconciled I advised her services were ...no longer needed and requested itemization of billing and refund if due. I received no response other than billing would look at it. This is after multiple inquires. It's been about a year now. Still waiting. Norma has contacted me since then to support her campaign and donate. I would not vote for her. I feel money is owed to me. My husband did receive a refund from his lawyer and he put down the same amount for down payment. I would not recommend.

I hired this lawyer 2 yrs ago and still don't know where this case stands. The other party's lawyer excused themselves from the case and I don't know what that means to me. Do I still have a case, is the case over? I tried to ask via email, letter, and phone call and still have not received a resp...onse. As soon as the opposition asked for documents, this lawyer was real fast to submit paperwork to them without consulting with me first. She told me after the fact that she had supplied the asked for documents to Opposition. I submitted all documents that I thought would help my cause, even created spreadsheets to help lessen the time she or her staff would have to spend creating a spreadsheet themselves. I don't think she ever looked at the documents I supplied. I sent a letter requesting a face to face meeting and 3 weeks later have still not gotten a response or appointment to speak to her. I don't know what else to do.

Norma Gonzales was a huge disappointment to me…I guess the criteria used for this survey says it all. She was not responsive, did not keep me well informed and seemed to favor the opposing attorney and his client more than me. As a result, I lost trust in her counsel. I would normally not post a n...egative comment, but felt this one was warranted. I believe the attorney-client relationship should be just that…a relationship. She and her admin staff could stand a lesson in communication.
