Greatattention to detail, compassion and dedication

I just received the notice of settlement letter in our favor in the Pellino v. Brink's Incorporated class action lawsuit and I would like to express my deep appreciation for M. Lorena Gonzalez. Her attention to detail, compassion and dedication to providing the best possible representation for the pl...aintiffs in this case was outstanding and deserves to be recognized. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone. Many thanks and many blessings! Warmest Regards, -Michael [removed by Avvo Staff] [removed by Avvo Staff]

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.
