Best judge on the bench. Judge Gonzales is extremely bright, thoughtful, and most of the time very gracious and professional.

Very fair judge. Smart. Will definitely act when the agents act improperly. Shows judicial courage in sentencing. Can be a little impatient but she is such a good judge it hardly takes away.

Better at motion rulings than bench rulings. Extremely hard working. Sometimes a bit short-tempered, but overall, a very good judge.

I have not had occasion to appear often before Judge Gonzalez, but in my appearances and filings in her court, I have been consistently impressed. She is gracious and graceful. She has heart but she is also no pushover -- she has the strength and intelligence to assess the validity and credibility of claims clothed in appeals to emotion.
