Future is still wide open!!!!

Mr. Gilbert and the fantastic team he has working for him made it possible for me to start a new life, (post-DUI's) with hope rather than despair. Without this legal team, I am certain things would have turned out very badly for me. They have spent nearly two years diligently handling the enormous... amount of work involved with my two cases, one in Humboldt County and the other in Washoe County. Joey selflessly traveled Hwy 80 for me many times, often racing from court in Carson City all the way to Winnemucca, and then back to Reno! In one day!! And never without a smile on his face or exuding extreme confidence and optimism. Mr. Gilbert, Mr. McCabe, and Kay Winch handled every little detail of my complicated cases perfectly and were consistently professional, supportive, compassionate, and patient in their communication with myself and my family. I was truly blessed with this legal team. Thanks to all of their hard work, I still have a fighting chance at this game called Life...before I hired Joey Gilbert I did not think I was going to have one.

A Lawyer for the people

My son got himself and his brother in trouble in Reno, NV. We frantically was looking and interviewing Reno attorneys. My brother in Chicago talked to Mr. Gilbert and was very impressed with is plan to help my son. He said you should hire him, Joey is a good guy and very competent . Before we... could get all the paperwork and payments completed, Mr. Gilbert got the charges dropped for one of my sons and the bail lowered from 108K to 10K for the other. All this was done over the weekend. He got us a bail bondsman and my son was released. Mr. Gilbert and his staff worked very hard on my sons case. They kept us informed on every aspect of the case and the progress. Two years later the case was dismissed. Because of his excellent legal skills my son can live a normal life without the stigma of a felony hanging over his head. He has truly learned a lesson. Thanks to Mr. Gilbert and his amazing staff.

Joey Gilbert is the BOMB!

Mr. Gilbert did the unthinkable and got my charges completed dropped! Highly recommend. As a young man, my parents were helping me through this, and Mr. Gilbert with Mr. McCabe did a great job in keeping my mother informed on what was happening, along with me too. Best attorney around for sure!

Joey Gilbert and Associates, go above and beyond, highly recommend

Receiving a call from your child that they've been arrested in another state is a horrible experience and trying to help them and not go broke in the process is an unbelievably challenging thing to go through. Not knowing anyone in Reno to call, I simply went online to find a lawyer. On Friday after ...5 PM, no one was answering the phone. Imagine my surprise and relief when I got a call back and it was Joey himself. It was a totally random call to his number, not the first call I made, but a total blessing. Joey personally helped get my child out of jail and to the airport to come home. Then he handled a very complicated, long, drawn out case that took over 3 years, and got us to the best possible outcome for this situation. Ms. Kay who assists Joey was a tremendous asset, she answered questions, talked me through all my concerns and stayed with us for the duration of this ordeal. If you need someone to fight for you and lead you through a difficult legal situation, Joey Gilbert and staff are wonderful. I certainly wish I never needed them but when I did, they were there.

Highly recommended

Without getting into to much detail, I was dealing with a huge criminal issue and it seemed as though up to a year in jail was a foregone conclusion. I was sent to Joey Gilbert by a friend and he was beyond knowledgable and professional. Not only did he keep me in the loop and lay out all my option...s, but he also worked some type of magic and kept me from serving a single day in jail. Due to his work I can finally put this behind me with minimal consequences. If you need a defense attorney this is your man, look no farther.
