After leaving a request for consultation, the senior partner reached out personally to ask a few preliminary questions and let me know that Hope would be following up. That level of responsiveness immediately stood out to me. Hope was phenomenal! She was easy to speak with; patient, calming and incredibly reassuring during what is a very stressful and high stakes probate matter. Her soothing manner truly helped set me at ease and made me feel as though I was really being heard. I have not yet had my consultation with Mr Hornbuckle, but my experience with Gomez Law, APC so far has been excellent. If everything goes as well with the attorney Hope has chosen for my particular case, I believe I may have found the right law firm to represent me. At this stage, the firm seems responsive and professional and dedicated to potential clients. I will update my review as I move further along in the process. read more

As a Realtor with more than two decades of experience, I've had the opportunity to work alongside many attorneys over the years. It's not often that I come across someone who truly stands out, but Robert Gonzalez is absolutely one of those professionals. I recently had the pleasure of working with Robert on the sale of an investment property that was jointly owned by three siblings and involved a number of moving parts. Throughout the entire process, Robert was exceptionally responsive, knowledgeable, and communicative. He took the time to keep everyone informed, patiently answered questions, and consistently provided sound guidance that helped move the transaction forward smoothly. What impressed me most was how involved he remained with his clients every step of the way. Robert genuinely cares about the people he represents and approaches even challenging situations with professionalism, patience, and a steady hand. As someone who regularly works with attorneys in real estate-related matters, I can confidently say that Robert is a cut above the rest. If you're looking for an attorney who is experienced, trustworthy, responsive, and truly committed to achieving the best outcome for his clients, I highly recommend Robert Gonzalez. read more

I was going to wait until after my case closed to review the firm, but I want to put it out there now for anyone else who may be looking for the best attorneys to handle real estate and UD cases. I've been working with Gomez Law and Susan Murphy and Steven Boortz for several months now. I am thankful daily that I found them. They've been helping protect and navigate me and my kids through an extremely complex and complicated case and they keep hitting the ball out of the park. Susan is tough as nails and knows the law inside and out and would always want her on my side in a legal scenario. Steven is thorough and compassionate and both lawyers have been on the front lines protecting my family while seeking justice for our case. I hope I never have to hire them again (haha) but should I ever run into estate issues again or any type of real estate matter, I know the Gomez team will do an outstanding job. Their paralegal Lyndsey who is also working on my case is also fantastic! read more

Charles Gomez is liar and a thief. He took our money and never did anything. He wasted our time and gave us false hope and did nothing. All he did is give excuse after excuse.

Gomez Law APC - AVOID AT ALL COSTS Gomez Law APC is currently under investigation by the California state bar due to their actions in my case. Please pay close attention not just to this review, but to all their other negative reviews. You'll see a consistent pattern of negligence, misrepresentation, and unethical behavior that should be a massive red flag for anyone considering this firm. If I could give zero stars, I would. My experience with Gomez Law has been a cautionary tale in legal malpractice, financial exploitation, and total abandonment. I retained this firm in January 2024 for a complex real estate dispute involving a home with over $800K in equity. I trusted them to represent my best interests. Instead, they dragged out the case, billed me for 301 hours at excessive rates, delivered minimal progress, and then filed a motion to withdraw as counsel in April 2025--just months before trial. To make matters worse, after walking away from the case, they filed a $107,000 lien against any future judgment or settlement--essentially holding my case hostage. They didn't just send this to me--they also sent it to opposing counsel, effectively sabotaging ongoing and future negotiations. Their actions were not only unprofessional but, in my opinion, vindictive and deliberately obstructive. It gets even more outrageous. When I showed up to my one and only in-person hearing, My attorney wasnt even there . Instead, only Robert, their paralegal, was present--alone and clearly unprepared. While I was being questioned by the judge and mocked by opposing counsel, the paralegal sat silently. The judge even asked him directly to step in to help his client--and he did nothing. No objection. No defense. No support. I was essentially left alone in court, unrepresented, while the firm continued to rack up charges. To this day I have no idea if an actual attorney showed up for any of my hearings or did they just send a paralegal.. After the hearing--moments after they were removed as counsel--Charles Gomez called me to say he would "continue settlement negotiations before the removal was finalized." That never happened. That phone call was the last I ever heard from him or anyone at the firm. To top it all off, I later discovered that Charles Gomez is not a partner or even related to Mark Gomez, the supposed head of the firm--despite the misleading implication made when I retained them. This kind of misrepresentation is not just deceptive--it's foundational to how they operate. I am currently pursuing a formal complaint through the State Bar of California and consulting on a potential malpractice suit. If you value competent, ethical, and genuinely client-focused legal representation, look elsewhere. Gomez Law APC is a textbook example of everything broken in our legal system--and trusting them cost me dearly. UPDATE: In response to Mark Gomez's reply below--let me be perfectly clear. His statement is a transparent attempt to spin this serious situation into an empty PR exercise. The "we can't speak to the details" line is laughable, especially considering how many of those details were created by the firm's own misconduct--and are verifiable through court records, billing statements, written communications, and testimony. First falsehood: they claim they "had success" in my case. What success? The firm abruptly withdrew months before trial, after running up over 301 hours of billing--producing almost no meaningful movement in the case. There is no outcome, no resolution, no judgment, and no settlement. The only "success" here was for their billing department. Second falsehood: they claim they "reached out" to resolve this. In fact, I received an after-the-fact phone call from Charles Gomez mere minutes after their withdrawal, stating he would continue settlement talks--which never happened. After that, radio silence--until I began leaving public reviews. I rejected a recent offer for a "call" because by then, I had already filed a formal Bar complaint and was pursuing malpractice counsel. At this stage, proper legal remedies--not private phone calls--are appropriate. Third misleading point: this response paints them as caring professionals while ignoring the real facts--like the fact that I was left alone at my only in-person hearing, with no attorney present (only an unprepared paralegal who offered no assistance as I was questioned by the judge and mocked by opposing counsel). This is not "diligence and care"--this is abandonment and, in my opinion, malpractice. Finally, their entire response reads like an ad for the firm--not a genuine attempt to acknowledge or take responsibility for a clear pattern of behavior, now corroborated by multiple other ex-clients who have contacted me since my original review--many with nearly identical stories of being overcharged, misled, and abandoned. In addition, I have since spoken to a former Gomez Law attorney who basicly said this was "not a surprise" to them. read more

Excellent attorney. Always answered my calls, kept my updated and I got the result I wanted.

Hired this firm for a Real Estate Purchase Dispute, their hourly rates are on the high end for their Attorneys and Legal Assistants. They charged me about $1300.00 to send out a single demand letter which I provided them will all the facts and evidence. They also charged me about $1200.00 to send out a couple of short emails and spend some time discussing the matter with me over the phone. The only bright side is Attorney Charles Gomez, who is a Good Person, knowledgable, and experienced in Real Estate Law. I prefer flat rates over signing retainers because you get billed for them reviewing an email, preparing an email, discussing an email, and sending an email! read more

So far only the consultation, but that went very well. They immediately saw through a lot of the mistakes made by opposing counsel. The depth of their knowledge on real estate law is looking really good for us. read more

James and the front office staff were immediately amenable to hear my story as it relates to my families very complicated trust issues. Prior to speaking with James three separate attorneys kept taking my money and not Helping me defend the trust in a timely manner. It was very apparent that this law firm has the capacity to not only support the law, but also take a moment to apply the law as it relates to this specific situation With my deceased mother's trust. It's very important to work with attorneys who are willing to listen And communicate with great emotional intelligence and Law .... I highly recommend James and Gomez Law Firm To represent your needs as it relates to the fair distribution of assets of a living trust. Thank you, James. read more

I had a great experience with Gomez Law. Got a consultation by Susan M for a credit card debt lawsuit that I was handed. Susan helped me reach a settlement with the credit card company and get payments that work for me. Super helpful and to the point. read more

UPDATE: The owner's response to my original post is purely fabricated. I asked him directly to provide any proof that I was informed about costs prior to my charges, and he couldn't. Then I asked him to provide the recorded conversation over the phone when I was being screamed at and where I had to calm my attorney down. Once again, no response from Mark Gomez. By the way, I just learned that the last paperwork filed by the firm was done incorrectly, which has cost me even more money to correct with my new attorney. Due to Gomez Law's practices, I am contemplating filing a claim with the state bar. read more

Mr. James Hornbuckle was very nice and understanding over the phone. He listened to our situation and offered to help us compose a letter to help negotiate to stop foreclosure on our home. We are hoping that helps. read more

BEWARE OF GOMEZ LAW I went to go Gomez law regarding my mother's estate in 2022. I hired attorney Jim Hornbuckle, to assist with my case. Within a few months his rate went up by $200 more per hour than what the contract had stated. Meantime we hadn't even gone to court to litigate my case. In essence this law firm is only out to take your money. In the past year I was over charged on invoices, I would call to try to discuss my invoices it would take numerous emails, phone calls, and text. When I would finally get to discuss my bill the law firm made me feel like I was the problem, when it was their mistake. The breaking point was I set a meeting to discuss my invoices, with this firm. They never lived up to the meeting, I emailed Jeffery Loong, and said it I'm waiting for you to call me to discuss my invoices, No response! The next time I spoke to the firm I spoke with Beatrice Reyes, she tells me that my case has been dismissed because I didn't pay my bill, I'm like excuse me... I've been trying to reach out you for weeks. She says oh I didn't receive your email I told her let me resend it to you right now. To show the proof it was sent to you. At this point she say oh let speak with my COO Roxanne, I asked her can I speak to Roxanne myself to explain my side, she never answered me. Gomez Law, had reneged on their promise to call and to assist me, and deeply disappointed. read more

I would like to think Garcia law. (Susan Murphy) to include all of the other staff membe rs who were professional, considerate, compassionate about my situation. I was directed to Susan for a free consultation on a situation with probate. She was very informative. Made me feel at ease with my situation since I have been working with another attorney who doesn't seem to even respond to my inquiries about probate or anything else at that matter. Susan gave me more information and more hope than my president attorney has done in the past 2 years working with him. I am going to switch my attorneys to Garcia law. I feel like I'm in good hands and it seems like they really seem to care about my unique situation. Thank you again, Susan.. I'm so happy to hear that you have a probate team there as well. Will be reaching out to you soon read more

I had an existing Quiet Title case that was filed by my attorney who relocated to another State and I was forced in finding a qualified Law Firm that was knowledgeable in real estate law, and more specifically Quit Title actions. I searched for days, talking to many attorneys that would take on my case, but wanted a ridiculous amount of money to get me a final judgment. I came across the Gomez Law Firm, consulted with attorney Susan Murphy, who answered all my questions, and more importantly, Quiet Title Actions is an area of law that she specializes in, and the firm's rates were within my budget. Susan and her entire staff filed all the necessary documentation, provided me with case updates, and were always available if I had any questions. I can honestly admit the day of my hearing I was a bit nervous. I was introduced to attorney Joseph Castro who prepared me on what was going to happen. The process was extremely easy, and attorney Castro was extremely professional and got the job done. I received my final judgment and finally, my home title is clear all due to the amazing people at Gomez Law. I highly recommend Gomez Law for anybody looking for real estate issues that require a firm that knows what they're doing and can work within your budget. read more

Had a phone interview with Susan Murphy. She cut to the chase re: my case where I lost my home due to a different law firm I hired. Since I was already buried neck deep there was nothing she could do to help but give a few suggestions. I appreciated her time. She was pleasant to talk with, knowledgeable about the law and wish I would have hired her instead of the toxic GMO lemon I chose. read more

This review is specifically for Charles. He is an outstanding and intelligent individual. He pointed me and my family in the right direction and put our major concerns at ease.

His services should be observed and duplicated. Thank you again for everything Charles we will keep on contact. read more

I always recommend Gomez Law to friends when they are seeking out expert legal counsel. Everyone is afraid to hire a lawyer until they need one and you can't go wrong with this skilled and talented group. read more

I contacted Gomez Law requesting a consultation as offered on their site. Their support people were rude and uncooperative. I was finally connected with an attorney only to find she was unfamiliar with my category. She apologized and referred me back to their front desk. I was put on repetitive endless holds. I called several times and left word requesting a callback. No one responded. I contacted another firm. I was able to secure their services. I suggest you avoid using a law firm who treats potential clients with such disregard. Perhaps their lawyers would be better served by a competent support staff. read more

Although limited, I had a great experience with Gomez Law and particularly with one of the senior trial attorneys, James Hornbuckle. Unfortunately I was involved in a law suit where my company was named as a co-defendant in a real estate related case. James was representing the other co-defendant and extended his insight and support to me despite not being a retained client. I'm truly grateful for the support and time he shared with me explaining the situation and I'm some of my options over the phone. He did that at no cost which was very helpful given the fact that I had already spent a significant amount money on items related to the case. Beyond that, he even drafted a letter for me that was sent to the opposing counsel. I generally don't write reviews unless the service I received is exceptional. In this case it was beyond exceptional. James' professionalism and compassion left a lasting impression on me and I am truly fortunate to have been connected to him. I would highly recommend Gomez Law and specifically James Hornbuckle to anyone looking for honest, compassionate, and professional legal representation. read more
