Posted by anonymous | June 17, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Stay away from this woman!!!!

I cant stress enough to anyone who is considering to hire Bernadette Gonzales to NOT hire this woman! I met with her to help me with my child custody case recently. Blessing in disguise she showed her true colors before she even filed my case with the court. She basically told me when I fired her tha...t her firm “prioritizes their cases” so I guess if you’re case is not important in her mind, they just leave it in their “stack of paperwork” and don’t feel the need to communicate with you. She was fired by me due to her POOR communication. She ignored me up until I fired her when she finally responded to me. She took my $3500 retainer fee and then went MIA on me. I Never heard from her nor her unprofessional staff. Not sure what kind of law firm is being ran here but it’s definitely ghetto and so unprofessional. Iv hired a lawyer in the past and it was a night and day difference of professionalism! Huge mistake on my end. Read her reviews!! She did absolutely nothing for me, and still felt entitled to rob me of $360 from my refunded retainer. My current attorney had to send her a demand letter of repayment to me with the threat of litigation just to get my retainer back. 5280 law is a scam and i advise anyone to look elsewhere! I have found other council at Johnson law group which has been amazing! They communicate with you and act like you’re their only client! Please call them for any of your legal needs! They have been a huge blessing for me and my family this far! DO NOT give this woman opportunity to rip you off!

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2025.

Suspension partially stayed means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. When the attorney returns to practice he or she will be on probation, meaning the State monitors the attorney's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior

Suspension Stayed Placed on Probation issued in CO, 2019

updated on 09/05/2019

Suspension stayed means the attorney has been disciplined, but that the suspension is placed on hold (and ultimately removed) if the attorney complies with probation requirements.
