Gabriel Andre Rodriguez

I purchased my first property in 2008 and received first-time homebuyers assistance from the City of San Jose. Upon purchasing my second property, I wanted to rent my first property; however, the City of San Jose Housing Department insisted I could not rent my property and instead, I was instructed t...o either sell it or move back in as a primary residence. Both of these options were not to my liking and per the City's Affordability Restrictions Agreement, I could pay off the loans plus equity share and interest. Initially the City refused to let me pay off my own loans and would not give me the time of day, so I hired Gabriel to help me deal with the City. It took a year and numerous emails and calls with the entire Housing Department and their attorney to finally pay off my City loans and remove the affordability restrictions. Gabriel also ensured all reconveyance documents were properly recorded and further obtained the related notices. He made sure every step during the reconveyance process was done correctly so I wouldn't have any issues going forward. The City initially would not take me seriously, but with Gabriel's professionalism, persistence and expertise, the City finally allowed me to pay off my loans and now I have control over my property. I could not have done it without Gabriel and will be forever grateful for his services and help! I highly recommend Gabriel for any and all real estate issues and litigation!

I was involved in a lawsuit and I hired Gabriel (Gabe).  He was organized from start to finish. I had many questions about the case and Gabe was able to give me clear, thorough answers. He was patient and made sure that I understood everything. I respected his creativity and enthusiasm. A consummate ...professional and I would definitely hire him again.

Gabriel helped me in a dispute I had with my local city building department and my contractor over my home construction project. He knew the right people to speak with and how to navigate the city's bureaucracy. He knew the players and the issues well. Before I hired him, I could never get any answer...s and the city kept threatening me with red-tagging. However, because of Gabriel's efforts I was able to get a meeting with a key decision maker and cut through all of the red tape. I've known him for awhile and I've always found him to be a creative thinker and lawyer. I'd highly recommend him.
