9 year old drug charge dismissed!

When I was 19 I had found myself getting into some trouble with controlled substances I was arrested one time in the wrong place at the wrong time situation and was found to be under the influence of a controlled substance I went to court played guilty and was ordered to do drug counseling to avoid ...classes long story short I moved out of state because I had other legal things I needed to tend to that were more serious in my home state I was not sure what would happen for not continuing the classes however it has been nine years and I was trying to apply for licensure after finishing college to find out that things had come up on my background check only to find out that I had a misdemeanor warrant for being under the influence of a controlled substance so finding that my dropping out of drug counseling had caught up with me I was very worried because I don't research and found online that there was a chance I would have to do some jail time being the mother of a two-year-old daughter and nearly 9 years later completely turned my life over and around from where I was I was very nervous William gamble and his assistant Kizzy were so kind and helpful because he was always assuring me over the phone that things would get worked out and not to worry was very helpful along the way and answering any questions and Mr. Gamble although did not give them 100% guarantee was pretty confident that I would not have to do any jail time and said he would try to get the charges dismissed honestly I wasn't even sure I thought that I was probably just going to have to do drug classes all over again when I got back the verdict of the case being dismissed I was beyond ecstatic! Thank you mr gamble! Well with this guy he is worth it I had talk to another lawyer that I had also given me a guarantee the actual guarantee you could get the charges dismissed but when I asked him about Mr. Gamble because I like getting other peoples opinion as odds would have it this person had worked for Mr. Gamble at his firm for seven years before going out on his own and only had wonderful things to say about him so I'm glad I chose the choice of going with the teacher and not the student because turns out he really is the best lawyer in Santa Maria

Mr. Gamble saved my life

I am an international student and was charged for control substance possession for somebody else's drug and became inadmissible to enter the U.S for life. I hired Mr. Gamble and he got the case dismissed. Now, I can come back to the U.S. and study again. My educational career was literally saved by M...r. Gamble. I can't thank him enough. We had very good communication from the start to end and his secretary Ms.Kizzy was very professional and kind as well. I highly recommend Mr. Gamble.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
