immediate dismissal must be ordered.

Hello R. M. Gonzales, You are very hard to get in contact with An order is due for defendant Brandon Stilling. He must have the leg monitor removed and time served as well as dismissal shall be implemented for his erraneous detainment- he in fact isnot "Albert Saenz" who is stealing the identity of... Brandon. He does not fit in the catagory that characterizes a violent person. The stipulation is rendered cruel and unconstitiutoonal-malfeasance modifications will be presented to a higher court if dismissal/judgenent satisfied is not granted.

The worst experience ever! Not an advocate for children only for herself and who she likes.

I had the unfortunate experience along with my husband of having to deal with this horrible example of a child advocate! She was self-centered, condescending, rude, self absorbed, narcissistic, and flat out the most biased person I have ever met in my entire life. There aren't enough examples I can g...ive of how horrible she actually was in an overall manor. We were fighting for custody of my step children (who I consider my children), because we want a better future for them, and she did not follow through with what she said she would and acted very unprofessionally. I am sad that she did not do her job to the best of her ability and all we continued to get from her was how great she was and all the accomplishments she had under her belt (I never witnessed anything good at all). She also lied under oath and never followed through with the services we paid for up front. I was also disgusted when she compared her niece who has a birth defect with my step daughter who has a slight learning disability (how disgusting for her to belittle that). I am appalled that she is continually allowed to represent children and be their voice when she does not do her job. She also had the nerve in court to call my mother a Step grandmother, and she said a lot of people might be offended because my mother isn't blood (so she shouldn't be called grandma), but the sad truth is my parents treat them as if they were their blood grandchildren and more so than the kids actual blood grandparents (SAD)! I am seriously disgusted with Rosie Gonzalez's actions in and out of court. I would never recommend her to anyone, because I don't want anyone to go through what we had to go through. She formed an opinion and was biased from the start. She can't stand questions and if you disagree with her she will be nasty to you. She also went after one of our witnesses (a family member) so much to point she tried to get him fired, but a witness from the other side lied on the stand and she did nothing. We were told by many that they felt she acted unprofessionally the entire time and they though she was an attorney for the other side. Please don't use this woman!!! I am not stopping here as I don't want her to put anyone else through what she put us through. I know no one is perfect and life takes you in many directions, but the truth is the truth. If I could rate a negative star I would.

REVIEW

After hearing many strong opinions about Rosie fighting for a child's best interest, we immediately consulted with her and confidently made the choice to retain her for a custody dispute. When we went to court, the attorney representing my wife's ex-husband was brutal while my wife was on the stand a...nd Rosie sat back and watched. When my wife's ex husband was on the stand, Rosie took it easy on him and did not bother to question the validity of the false accusations he made against my wife like we had discussed prior to court. The judge ruled we were to take more time and try to work things out which from his perspective would make sense considering he only heard the ex's side from his aggressive attorney and not my wife's side from Rosie. During this temporary time, more complications arose for our child and Rosie would only represent us again for more money (even though we were still coming back with the initial issue and no real resolution for our child's well-being). This was our first experience going though a custody dispute, and Rosie had gained our trust. Though it was a struggle, we pulled together the funds for Rosie's services again and we were back in court. The second time around ended badly for our child. When push came to shove Rosie caved and suggested we agree to the ex-husband's demands because we couldn't afford her services to pursue the dispute in court. Unfortunately we trusted her and gave in to the ex-husband's demands. After that, our child continued to endure mental and emotional abuse from my wife's ex-husband. We did all we could to afford taking him back to court, but that time we chose a different attorney. Come to find out, the new attorney we retained confirmed Rosie didn't represent us properly. Now we are trying to untangle everything Rosie did. Our child continues to suffer at the cruel hand of my ex-wife's husband thanks to Rosie Gonzalez, but little by little we are changing the situation now that it is being addressed by a professional attorney who is genuine and capable of getting to the core of the issue and seeking proper resolution in the best interest of our child. From personal experience, I will never recommend Rosie Gonzalez for custody issues if you truly care about your child's well-being. She's a nice lady but not a good attorney.

AWESOME CUSTODY LAWYER!

In 2009, I hired Rosie for a contested custody case. I was going for sole custody with supervised visitation since my daughter's father had been absent for most of her life. My daughter's father had a great lawyer, and he was fighting for joint custody. He had a daughter before ours, and his lawyer c...ompletely tore apart his ex-girlfrined's testimony. I was afraid that they would attempt to do hte same with me. (He now has full custody of that daughter.) I hired Rosie off a referral from a friend who took his son from the child's mother. Rosie met with my-ex and his lawyer multiple times. She was firm and we ended up settling before our court date. My daughter's father relinquished all of his rights. In turn, I did agree to no child support. This has proven to be the best thing for my daughter. I am now married and I am contacting Rosie to handle the stepparrent adoption.
