Extremely Unprofessional and Disappointing Experience – Lack of Diligence and Fair Evaluation
I strongly do not recommend this law firm especially Mr. Brandes to anyone seeking serious, fair, and evidence-based legal representation. If your case requires real legal analysis and attention to detail, this is not the place to find it. My experience with Brock & Gonzales, specifically with M...
I’m very sorry to hear that you had a disappointing experience and that you felt your case was not given the attention it deserved. I take that kind of feedback seriously, and I genuinely regret that your interaction with me left you feeling unheard or dismissed. That was never my intention. I understand how much time and effort goes into gathering documents and evidence, and I appreciate that you shared those with me. Although I do not know who you are because you posted your review anonymously, I can tell you with utmost certainty that it is my custom and practice to review all materials provided by my potential clients before making my assessment. My law firm is entirely dedicated to representing employees and advocating for workplace justice. Declining a matter does not mean we doubt someone’s experience or side with an employer, rather it simply reflects whether we can realistically and responsibly pursue the claim within the constraints of the law, the evidence, and our current caseload. I strive to give every potential client an honest and timely evaluation. Sometimes, after reviewing the facts and applicable law, I may reach a conclusion that the firm cannot move forward. I understand how that can feel abrupt, but I believe it’s more respectful to give a candid assessment rather than offer false hope or delay a difficult decision. I sincerely wish you the best moving forward, and I hope you’re able to find counsel who can take your matter and give it the attention it deserves. Your feedback is a reminder of how important it is to communicate clearly about our evaluation process, and I will take that to heart. Respectfully, Christopher Brandes

Professional and articulate
Chris investigated and analyzed my case bringing his and his firms knowledge to bear. I am happy with the results he provided and consider him to be one of the few compassionate attorneys who cares about you and not just your case. Chris is to be lauded for his efforts on my behalf.
