Worst Legal "Help" Imaginable!

We Paid Mr Gonzales and retained him for two upcoming cases. We provided him all the research and evidence needed to easily prove innocence and even requested specific actions/motions be filed. He did nothing. After over 6 months he still knew nothing about our case and was completely arrogant and ru...de. He continued out court dates against our wishes and provided zero advice. Then he weaseled his way out of representing us and kept all of the money! He knows little more than how to elbow rub with his old cop pals. Don't waste your money or even worse...your time by hiring this "Lawyer". Even his office staff were embarrassed by his lack of professionalism! Better of with a public defender.

A job well done

I was charged with a DUI and advised by a number of attorneys that I should just plead out. Mr. Gonzales took the time to go over the police report with me and noticed some triable issues. He set the case for trial and the District Attorney ended up dismissing the case. Without Mr. Gonzales I would h...ave been convicted of a DUI. Mr. Gonzales is a hard working attorney who knows how to get aggressive with the District Attorney. I cant thank him enough for helping me get my case dismissed!!! I reccomend this attorney

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.
