About Gabriel
Biography
I am an experienced criminal defense attorney at your service to handle the most difficult criminal matters. It is my belief that the best defense is through early, aggressive action and my record of results more than supports this concept. If we cannot get the deal we want from the state, I am more than happy to let the jury decide and fight every step of the way.

"I endorse attorney Gabriel Quinnan. Very active in the Avvo legal community providing excellent legal answers. An asset to our profession."
"I was introduced to Gabriel Quinnan when he first worked for the Adams Fietz Law Firm in Santa Rosa. I immediately felt a strong kinship with him because we shared the same philosophy. He was extremely straight forward and upfront, but just as importantly, he possessed a tremendous skill-set, knowledge and had acquired a successful trial record! While employed at A&F Gabriel helped me get a GREAT result for a multiple felony case in a distant county. Once I learned that he left the Adams Fietz Firm to start his own, I immediately entrusted him to assist my law firm with difficult overflow cases since I know that he is the District Attorney's worst nightmare. Further, Gabriel genuinely cares about the Firm's clients and puts their interest FIRST and does not stop until he gets the desired result(s). I would not work with Gabriel if I could not count on him nor trust him! Hence, I very strongly endorse this lawyer."
