Please reconsider using Sylvia Gonzalez as your attorney . Miss Sylvia Gonzalez handled my case so poorly from beginning to end. The defendants policy was worth $1 million. I did all the treatment that she recommend. to walk away with alot less for my pockets than what was discussed from the beginnin...g. She spent 11000 on expert witness without my knowledge. She vaguely said we are already accumulating fees,She hired these witnesses for trial and it never went to trail. With this being my first personal injury case/trial, I have no idea how this stuff works, so I’m assuming that these fees would not need to be paid if we are not going to trial but of course with her lack of communication she never clarifies anything. Once I happen to ask how much of these were and when she told me it was $11,000 out of my portion only I said well we might as well go to trial since I have already paid for all of these witnesses. She then told me that she would drop my case and leave me without representation 19 calendar days before my scheduled trial date. If i had too seek new representation i would have a lien placed on the case which will discourage any other attorney to take it, on top of the 11k that she NEVER told me about until i agreed to settle. I feel completely ripped off by her. I also found it weird that everything she did was verbal until the very end she wanted to start having everything in writing. In the end, she did cut her fees down a tad bit, but of course ,She made over 50k because our case involved 3 ppl she got more money than we did combined. Stay away and go with an attorney who is willing to fight the whole fight not just until they are ready to call it quits mind you, I was rear ended by a landscaping company liability was never an issue. Trust me use a different attorney.
