Rosa Maria Gonzalez

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.
