An Excellent Advisor and Expert Attorney

I retained Ms. Gamez for a period of nearly three years, in order to facilitate complicated due diligence on independent trustees and ultimately to petition the court to install a corporate trustee in their place. Alicia was thoughtful and strategic about when and how to pursue varying courses of act...ion. Her expertise and thoughtfulness not only led to the resolution of the issues at hand, but considered my situation holistically, setting me up for a lifetime of ease in my role as beneficiary. Her rate and billable hours were fair and always recorded with clarity. She was communicative, direct, and professional in her dealings with other attorneys and parties involved, while remaining friendly, engaged, and caring to me as a client. All this while I was 3,000 miles away on the East Coast: we only met once in person, and I couldn't have felt like I was in better hands. I would highly, highly recommend Ms. Gamez to anyone seeking counsel in the realm of Trust & Estate Law.

Alicia is Fantastic

I have used Alicia Gamez for over 5 years now and I can not say enough great things about her. Initially I hired her for tax purposes and over time she has become the general council for our family. She recently helped us with a very difficult commercial lease negotiation, which is NOT her expertis...e. We brought her in because we were not happy with the service of a very large law firm that specialized in commercial property. It is hard to imagine that someone with very limited experience could walk circles around a very experienced law firm but that is exactly what happened. Alicia helped us re-write a horribly written lease and saved our family huge potential losses. One of her best qualities is that she will bring specialists in when necessary, and will be clear about what the best path is. Our family is deeply indebted to Alicia and we will certainly continue to use her services indefinitely.

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.
