Joe D. Gonzales

After meeting with Joe Gonzales and talking about the possible outcomes of my case, he assured me he could get me out of the mess I was in. After being offered a "deal" by paying him the majority of the money upfront within a few weeks, I was then pawned off to his assistant Mr Hendreckson and he han...dled the remainder of my case until the final plea bargain which he basically intimidated me to taking by not giving me adequate time to decide how to come up with several thousand more dollars to take the case to trial. I personally feel like he no longer wanted to deal with my case so that he could work on his campaign for district attorney. I feel cheated and now harbor a distrust for any lawyer in the San Antonio area after seeing the "office politics" that go on at the Bexar County Courthouse. Mr Gonzales blatently lied to me and did not deliver his end of the bargain. He did not inform me of possible outcomes or consequences of taking the supposedly good offer that was offered by the district attorneys. Several times the judges even questioned if Mr Gonzales was even informing me of my rights. When I was sentenced, I had to do jail time of which I was not even aware that I would have to serve immediately much to the surprise of the judge as well. For a first time offender, this was an absolutely horrendous experience and it has cost me my livelihood and has only afforded me constant difficulty in trying to remain a productive member of society. I have lost my job, house, and now am living on the streets because he failed to do his job. I didn't know the law; that's why I paid him. I was just another paycheck to him and the whole time he and his associate kept asking me for money even though I had already paid them in the beginning. Do not trust this man.

I was very concerned about what attorney would represent me. I wanted and attorney that would they be fair and understanding to my case. I was driving up IH35 and saw a billboard with Joe Gonzales picture and phone number. I decided at this time I would like to schedule a meeting with him to discuss ...my case. My first meeting with Joe was professional and honest, he allowed me to discuss my side of the story without judgement. He listened attentively and made sure I understood the pros and cons to include the direction we should take to ensure I received deferred adjudication. Each time I was given a court date he was present and ready to go. Joe Gonzales met with the DA's office and negotiated the best deal for me. During the whole process I trusted Joe and he had my best interest at heart. Joe keeps you informed and he cares more about the client and the outcome. I appreciate all that Joe did for me and my family, he is one of the best attorney's in San Antonio. Thank you Joe for everything......your more than an attorney your a friend!

I was accused of DWI with a felony child in car under age of 15. In my career the is no excuse and toleration for a DWI on my record. Mr Gonzales was highly recommend and went right to work on my case. He was always fair to me and explained the process to trust him and let him do his job. Every t...ime I went to court I could see that he had the respect from the assistant district attorneys and he was thought highly from the judge in my court case. Long story short my case was dismissed and I was able to continue my career and provide for my family. I would definitely recommend Mr Gonzales as an attorney for your case because he knows the law and system to be able to fight for your rights.

I was involved in an improper photography case. When I first hired Mr. Gonzales he got right to work on my case, giving me comfort in this most difficult and unfamiliar situation. He was extra professional and always available to explain the process and address my concerns. His staff was second to ...none and always made me feel that my questions and concerns were important. I found Mr. Gonzales very knowledgeable and had a lot of experience in my type of case. He is very familiar with the legal system, from being a former prosecutor and former judge. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing representation. He is very honest, trustworthy and always fights in his clients best interest. There was a positive outcome in my case which may not have been without his involvement.

Joe Gonzales handled a very high profile case involving multiple counts. One of which was aggravated sexual assault of a minor. This incident had the potential of destroying my sons life and my family business, which primarily deals with children. After hiring Mr. Gonzales he immediately went ...to work in securing my child's release from Juvenile Detention (Jail). To see Mr. Gonzales maneuver in the court room, was poetry in motion. His knowledge of the law and the juvenile system became apparent when he expedited my child's release, while awaiting trial. Mr. Gonzales and his team stayed in constant contact with us as the case developed and we moved closer to trial. During the trial Mr. Gonzales again, showed his knowledge of the law by having one of the two charges dismissed before the trial ended. Mr. Gonzales and his team handled the case remarkably, ending in “not true” (NOT GUILTY) verdict. My son was totally exonerated. All charges were expunged. When you are under fire, and you need a lawyer who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and will go the extra mile; Joe Gonzales and his team is the right choice.
