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.

Joey Gilbert Law

I would highly recommend Joey Gilbert & Associates to anyone would wants excellent representation and someone who will go to battle for you. My experience was nothing less then wonderful. I felt a sigh of relief knowing Joey was my lawyer, he made me feel completely comfortable and confident since da...y one. I was treated as an idividual, not just a number which I appreciate greatly. The entire team was polite, and I wasn't looked down upon for getting a DUI, I was treated with curdiscy and respect because sometimes bad things happen, but that doesn't mean your a bad person. Joey Gilbert was highly confident, with his experience and knowledge that my case would be very successful, and it was. When I walked into court, I knew I had chosen the right lawyer to represent me, he was so polite, caring and professional. Joey Gilbert & Associates layed out a game plan for my case, I followed it, and it was a great success. I appreciate all Joey and his team did for me. It is hard hard thing to come by these days, politeness, professionalism, knowledge and experience; Joey Gilbert and his team have all these qualities and more. I am so grateful for all Joey and his team did for me, I wouldn't recommend anyone else but Joey Gilbert & Associates.

All around AWESOME experiance

From the moment we stepped in the door my wife and I were treated like human beings who had made a simple mistake (DUI) not criminals. Within 5 minutes (I believe here name was Ally, Joey Gilbert Secretary) had coffee in our hands and had Mr. Gilbert called into the office and meeting with us. Th...is firm knows how to communicate, knows how to keep you updated and they're really hands on. Not to mention, Joey knows how to tell you exactly who it is - when you NEED to hear it. I would trust Joey to handle any case of mine in the future.

Everyone makes mistakes, Joey Gilbert and his team saved me... big time.

When I was searching online for a DUI attorney - I was surprised to see so many attorneys that advertised they were available and to call right away... Well I called and called and called until I reached Joey Gilbert & Associates. It was around 8pm on a Friday night and my call was answered and I spo...ke to Joey within 10 minutes of leaving a message. Long and short - I received a DUI, was scared out of my mind and didn't know what to do... Mr. Gilbert came to the rescue! He had be complete a handful of tasks he said the court would appreciate and get some treatment I didn't think I would otherwise need. I did end up having to plead guilty to a DUI but Mr. Gilbert and his team made it as easy and painless as possible. I got the low end of the fine and didn't have to do any additional jail time (all that really mattered to me anyway). Do yourself a favor, don't call the "other guys"... Call Joey Gilbert and his team today. They make it happen. I can't thank them enough for helping get through this embarrassing time in my life.

These guys saved my career

I had messed up on NYE 2012 and decided to drive after I had two drinks. I hired Mr. Gilbert and his staff to assist me with my case. They went above and beyond, met with me several times face to face, which I thought was awesome. They saved my career as this never made it to my record. It never ...made it to my record because the blood results came back under the legal limit. I have never been in trouble in the past and they were able to get me enrolled in classes and a couple other programs, this was essentially dropped to a reckless driving charge. Thanks Guys! Also , for anyone reading this, I know it sounds silly, but dont even drive if you've had one drink. It could really mess up your life and you dont want that.
