Focused on Exposing Weak Charges

We level the field for clients facing uphill battles in the courtroom.

"I was facing two felony charges involving using a weapon while committing a battery. If convicted of a felony or accepting a plea bargain for a lessor charge of a misdemeanor, I would have lost all California licensing in my career of 25 years. Attorney Gonzales confronted the DA prosecution team very aggressively and thoroughly, while keeping me advised of progress every step of the way. All charges were eventually dismissed by the District Attorney's office. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone facing serious legal charges."
