FILE A GRIEVANCE!!!!
Reviews from: Kylie Thomas, Sharon Colby former employees.
Josh Bunnches - passed away August 31,2016 in his home state. A single male never married and no children. Never a resident of Texas. His review was done at dealership after his death.
Brianna Rain - has never been married has no children not a resident of Texas she has never been a resident of Texas.
GamingwithElizah - is a minor child 10 years old lives in a different state.
Michael Castilla and Shellie Castilla are currently married have no minor children together. Do not live or have assest in the state of Texas.
They changed my lawyer without notice before my second hearing with an inexperienced incompetent dime store lawyer. What a way to serve a veteran.
They only call me when they want money and they RIP you off with bogus and outrageous costs. They never respond to my emails. Don't make the same mistake I did with these den of thieves and incompetent fools. Take 10 to 20 grand and burn it in a pile. It's the same thing.
They have no feelings or respect for thier clients. This firm is a disgrace to the late Henry B. Gonzalez.
They all need to be disbarred and put out of business. Shameful!
Most of these "great" reviews you see posted are bogus as well.
Don't fall for this "swampy" law firm.

My legal representation from day one was direct and understandably presented as a winning choice.
I am a 21 year Army combat veteran; I had absolutely no idea what lay ahead in regards to the legal disposition and formalities I was about to embark on while facing my divorce and the child custody legal “battle”.
Ms. Gonzalez not only assured me I made the correct decision in hiring this firms legal counsel, but most importantly she believed in me, my children, and my position seeking out the assistance of a winning team.
After said representation, I am a very pleased and a proud father of two beautiful children, and very, very, happy I made the choice to have this Law Firm in my corner.
P.S. To all my military brethren, please don't waste a moment more of your time....this is the epitome of your "counsel".....
Rebecca doesnt work on any of her own cases. This was made clear when I had the consultation with her and she assigned me to another attorney even though I requested her.
My retainer was a few thousand dollars and that was eaten up rather quickly with no work done. She charges $400 an hour to set up a plan of action and in addition to review your bill monthly even if nothing has really happened on your account. Her associates charge anywhere from $250-$350 an hour for anything...including being charged a minimum of 15 minutes for each phone call or email just to get an update on your case because nobody will return your call or email. Yes that is right best of luck getting a status update on your case...and every time you call or email you will be charged.
I was even charged when my ex-husband called to make arrangements for a payment that the court mandated. This office isnt interested in helping you...but more so helping their pocket.
Lastly if you do not pay or keep your account with a positive balance (yes positive balance, not just paid off monthly) they will let you know with phone call after phone call....BUT... yes BUT when they owe you money best of luck in getting it!!!! Per the court I won partial legal fees back in my case... and that was paid to this office as required in mid October. This is December and I have yet to see the credit that is due to me. All I get from Rebecca's team is "she is reviewing your case so she can close it out." Well hell six weeks of closing my case at $400 an hour I'm going to owe money! I have call multiple times and all I get from the staff is " I dont know, please call back in a FEW weeks."
DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!!
1. Rebecca does NOT work on any cases. She hasn’t been to Court OR mediation in 5 years! Ask her.
2. She will sell you on her staff. None of her Associate Attorneys or Senior Paralegals have ANY Family Law experience. It’s a revolving door. She can’t keep staff. There has been 13 paralegals in and out of that office this year alone. Ask her.
3. The first $1,000 of your retainer will be gone in 15 minutes after you sign with no work done. She will say free consultation. Then she charges 1.50 hours ($600) of her time to “make a plan of action w her staff” That doesn’t happen. Then $200 admin fee and $200 to open the file. Ask her.
4. She will charge you $200 EVERY month for “Review and edit billing; Meeting with Associate Attorney and Paralegal” There is NO such meeting. Ask her.
5. Every month she does review the invoices ONLY to ADD more fees or ADD more time that the Associate Atty or paralegals have billed. She keeps these edits. A few of her clients have recently seen these edits and have questioned Rebecca. Ask her.
6. She uses the HENRY B GONZALEZ name for marketing. What an awful representation of that name. She’s RAMOS. She changed her name after her divorce for marketing. She hardly speaks to the Gonzalez family and speaks poorly of her Uncles ( her Mother’s brothers).
7. Her ATTORNEYS have no family law experience. Ask for their names beforehand. Research them!! Most are new Attorneys to law or came from Personal injury or debt collection. Ask her.
8. And get ready.. Her staff will call you at least 3-7 times a month for money. Collections becomes more intense right before staff pay days on the 1st and 16th.
9. Lastly, You will not receive a refund of any retainer you have left in your “Trust Account”. She charges you over $500 - $750 to close your file in order to deplete that money.
**DON’T THROW AWAY YOUR MONEY. YOU WILL SPEND NO LESS THAN $7,500 regardless of what is going on with your case. **

And I have to agree I am in so much debt it is terrible. A single mom and 2 children. They kept calling for money I didn't have. And never called me to inform me of what was accruing in my case. I am grateful for Mr Metz stepping in.
They are all fake she is writing them herself and her staff. Review her The below post was posted a while back at the insistence of Rebecca Gonzalez to one of her employees. That employee as well as other employees, were strongly ENCOURAGED to enlist family and friends to write "good reviews" on her behalf in an attempt to bury the bad reviews. I HAVE NEVER USED REBECCA GONZALEZ and NEVER WOULD. I would question all of the so called good reviews she all of a sudden has, It is your call. Good luck.
I never I am surprised at the bad reviews on here for Ms. Gonzalez. The work she had done for me was superb, and I would recommend her to anyone. I especially surprised that the reviews by people that did not even retainer her services. She is very frank and up to the point concerning costs and expenses. But her professionalism is above reproach and I would use her again. I had used another attorney down the road from her and was so happy to get out of that office. I will recommend Ms. Gonzalez again and again. You can not believe a review from someone that did not even retainer her. That is what the internet has become anyone can make up a false complaint, especially when they did not even use the service they are complaining of.
Ms. Gonzalez met with me for my consultation. She took her time explaining everything about my case, took down notes to grasp every detail. I was very nervous - as I have never had to go through any type of legal situation - but she really was knowledgeable and understanding.
Associate attorney Joe Lassen took on my case. He was incredible compassionate! You can tell he has a love for children and cares about the well being of the child. He looks out for what is best for your family. He is also very straight forward, fair and has a lot of integrity. At one point during court, I had to nurse my son. He actually found a private room for us and taped paper on the window for more privacy.! He was very kind - but also was tough during negotiations.
And finally, Amanda, his paralegal. She always kept in touch with me and kept me updated on my case. She had a wonderful attitude.
Everyone I interacted with at the firm was exceptional. They helped put me at ease during a very difficult time. I really can't say enough... Thank you!
