Toughest Fight of your life

I cannot thank Gabbie Canales enough for what she did for me. From the beginning she was attentive and fully committed. In my case she fought for me through the toughest battle of my life. My first trial was a mistrial due to the prosecutions misconduct, that she immediately caught on to on the first... day. My second trial I was acquitted. She truly fought the good fight for my life literally. I will forever respect, and appreciate Gabbie Canales. If you need someone who is fearless,diligent, and dedicated she is the one to have in your corner.

Defense attorneys.

I made horrible decisions and acted out of character, when I went through a terrible break-up..I had been lied to and cheated on by someone I trusted and loved..well, this woman out of vindictiveness and revenge filed harassment and stalking charges on me for texting drunken,drug induced, angry thing...s, and I was looking at at least 10 years for this crap..I thought I had nobody to hear my side of the story, and felt hopeless..but, then Gabi Canales was appointed to my case , and WOW! This attorney is professional, intelligent, and really fought hard for me ..I could not believe how she really believed in me, and did not give up! She's a fighter, and the courtroom is her ring.. because of her tenacity and knowledge of the law, I am free and trying hard to stay sober and do good.. even though, Gabi Canales and I no longer speak or have any kind of attorney/ client relationship I still admire her and respect her as a great attorney and professional. I highly recommend hiring her .

Took my deposit and did nothing.

I hired Canales on a recommendation on a Friday morning. I needed an Atty to file paper work within 72 hours. She was in court and her assistant reassured me she would be able to file the paperwork within that time limit and help me with my case. I called later that afternoon, Saturday and Sunday and... Monday am, I even texted the assistant and no response from either of them. Monday am came and nothing. I hired another attorney that afternoon. I asked for my deposit back due to lack of communication and confidence. At this point I have never even met the Atty. Her assistant came up with some story as to why her phone didn’t work all weekend long. Apologized, agreed that they didn’t communicate with me. Yet, Canales refused to refund me my 1,000 deposit. I was in court and saw her represent her client who plead guilty and got the max time of his crime. I definitely dodged a bullet with her. I still have the conversations and receipt. I plan on consulting with the bar association. Taking advantage of someone in a time of need is not okay. No wonder Texas Monthly named her the worst attorney.

From Drugs to Substance Abuse Counselor

If it were not for Gabby, I would be sitting in a prison cell count the cracks in the wall wondering how i the world did I get in a predicament such as this. I have been in the field of counseling for nearly a decade in on me for or fashion . I am a state Licensed, FULLY CREDENTIALED Chemical Depen...dency/Behavior Modification /Anger Resolution Therapist. My Degrees are in Chemical Dependency,. Humanities, and Communities and Mental Health. I take great pride in my job, my field of expertise and love working with the variety of people that this field encounters. If f it had not been for Gabby, this would have all been thrown away and everything that I have worked for over the last 15 years would have gone by the waist side. I am blessed that Gabby not only takes her time, she understands what it is to be locked up and top not be heard only to be pushed aside. Today I focus my resources on the population had once came from , to help make a difference. Gabby and I are working towards helping one another to help you guys. If you have had a drug or alcohol problem or a behavior or anger problem and you think this is what helped you wind up in the slammer... whether it be for the first time in your life or, if you're like me, it is for the 1,00 time and I am facing major prison time. GIve us a call. We will be there to guide you through the process and put to freedom. Not just from the legal system but from your arch enemy: alcohol, drugs.... Thank you for your time.
