Criminal Defense Lawyer

Comment #: WA2232
Rating:2.1

Comments:
This judge is very biased. Treated a victim of domestic abuse like a perpetrator. All while the abuser and family made outlandish false accusations in family court causing thousands of dollars spent for trial all while he didn't even let the lawyer present all the evidence proving this was an act of abusing the court system and victim. What should have been a clear case closed turned into so much more and for reasons I will never understand. Isn't a right to a fair trial where both sides get to present?

This judge is completely biased and runs off feelings not facts. He allowed the respondent too many chances after lying repeatedly causing more money to be spent. He agreed with respondent without actually facts and didn't take into consideration family aspects and actually documentation. It's clear he favors men.

Very biased and even though he said he read all of the letters addressed to him about an accident, he only referenced one mail that he read out of context. "this is a lose -lose situation". Told the person that if this trial about an accident was up to him he would have given the kid the full 20 years. The person was a kid at the time of the accident that had been driving for less than 3 months!

Comments:
This judge displayed an appalling lack of sensitivity to family members of a homicide victim that I came to support recently. He seemed to have more concern for the perpetrator than the victim's family. He allowed the perpetrator's family member to speak lies, half-truths and gross exaggerations while the victim's family was repeatedly admonished for merely trying to address the role that the perp played in violently ending their loved one's life. I've never witnessed anything quite like it. I can tell you the family was shaken, and they'd already been through quite a lot.

Allowed so many filter the whole truth and nothing but the truth was impossible to reveal

Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: WA1549
Rating:3.0

Comments:
Judge Gonzales has a bias towards Hispanic litigants, no matter whether the litigants have the best case under the law and the facts. It is difficult to explain this to clients when they lose in his courtroom following this skewed perception.

Excellent and not biased. I have had cases involved with several judges and found Judge Gonzales to be the best by far.
