This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Looking for someone professional that truly cares about YOU?

We were desperate and needed someone that would hear our small voice in a huge system. We were originally recommended to call Mr. Gonzales in the same office, The professional staff helped us secure an appointment immediately. After our consultation, we knew this was the place for us and hired him... on the spot. We met Mr. Henricksen at our second meeting and found him to be professional, personable, knowledgeable, honest, caring and helpful. Mr. Henricksen gave us his contact number and made himself available 24/7. Any time I contacted him, I always received a return call or message without delay. He always responded to any follow-up questions, tasks or requests, without our needing to remind him. He exceeded our expectations. He is not just an awesome attorney, he is an awesome person. If you have found yourself or a family member in need of an attorney, Mr. Henricksen comes with the highest of recommendations. Thank you for everything Mr. Henricksen.

Fights for you all the way!

He fought for me all the way til the end! He is great at what he does and explained what the state had on me, and reviewed the video of the arrest and looked for ways to fight for me! He never laid down for the state and never said, just sign and get it over with. I highly recommend christian and wil...l refer my family and friends to him.

Highly Recommended!!

I can't describe the patient and capable attorney that handled my case. Throughout a year and a half of meetings, my breakdowns, and finally the trial date he was there. So many times I lost hope and felt like giving up but Christian was always there to calm my fears and reassure me. I was looking at... a career ending conviction if found guilty but Christian believed in me and my innocence. When it came down to trial he was thoroughly prepared and the impact of his defense affected my life and future, not just a career. His preparation was obvious, on task, and effective and led to me being exonerated. I could not have had a better attorney that heard me and believed in my case. I trusted him thoroughly and he did not let me down. There are no words to express my gratitude and appreciation for him. He is honest, dedicated and trustworthy and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Saved My Life

I recently hired the Joe D. Gonzales Law firm to handle my case. I was charged with a state felony. Mr. Henricksen worked on my case many times and represented me at some of my court hearings. I recently hired this firm for the second time because I was not allowed to travel for my work. They got... me a pass to travel anywhere in the USA for as long as I am on probation. Many firms may have only got me permission to travel within a restricted area and not for the entire length of my probation. This is the second time I hired the Joe D. Gonzales law firm and worked with Mr. Henricksen and I will hire them for anything else I need. What Mr. Henricksen and the Joe D. Gonzales law firm did for me: 1. Got me permission to travel within 30 minutes of hiring him after my court appointed attorney and pretrial services officer gave me the "run-around" for over 2 weeks. I guess they thought I was the International Man of Mystery and would catch a dingy to a safe haven. 2. Once I complete my probation I will not have a record on a state felony. 3. Took a $1500.00 fine off my punishment. 4. Filed a motion for me to travel while on probation anywhere in the USA.
