Do not hire this bad lawyer!

This is the worst lawyer I've ever had. I only have two misdemeanors.They do not update me.They cannot get any of the charges dropped.They charge me 3500 for absolutely nothing. They have absolutely no sympathy or a willingness to try to help me with this at all

Found at fault by the state of Nevada in a fender bender.

I called Joey Gilbert Law from out of state. They advised me that Nevada considers at fault to be criminal misdemeanor. The office was open 24/7, Bianca took my information. She got back to me with quote from Joey. They took my case. They were always available. Answered all my questions. The cust...omer service was excellent. My case was dismissed. I’ve had several lawyers, many of them ineffective and difficult. Joey and his team was one of the best. I highly recommend him. I will use him if need be in the future.

Great job

Joey, Sean, Ryan and Carlos handled our criminal case. They were able to reduce the jail sentencing in half on a probation violation. Throughout the process, they were very patient, compassionate and knowledgeable during the stressful ordeal. They were very attentive to to our barrage of questions... via e-mail and phone. Would highly recommend them to those in need of criminal defense.

Out of state huge help!

I am an out of state client. I was visiting Reno and got into legal trouble. Very first thing was that Joey Gilbert Law was the only firm that answered my call after 5pm. By the time I realized I would have to be present for my first court hearing it was after normal business hours in Reno. From the ...first moment they were very caring and worked with me on being able to make payments. They also reassured me that they would do everything they could to handle my case. During the case Carlos whom worked with me over the phone was very helpful in letting me know the exact steps I needed to take to help my case. I followed their instructions. I was worried having a battery charge against me. The firm worked hard and by the end of my case I received the best news possible my case was dismissed. I never had to travel from Kansas back to Reno once. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and I couldn't be happier with their service and the outcome. They helped me take a very stressful situation and make it much better. I can't say enough good about how they handled my case and treated me!
