Accolades:

[From an e-mail to Frank Gomez dated August 30, 2007]

Frank,

I have been remiss in sending this note to you and I apologize.  I want to thank you for the tremendous help that you provided M.G. during this very difficult time in his young life.  You were always responsive to all of our needs and your experience and knowledge of the law and Matt's case was certainly the catalyst that drove the favorable outcome of Matt's ruling from the prosecutor and the judge.

Matt is now moving on with his life and his first year in college. I am sure that Matt has learned a valuable lesson from this ordeal and I thank you for your role in this part of the matter.  You clearly went above and beyond the call of duty.

Again, thanks so much for all you did for Matt and I hope you have a tremendous holiday weekend.

Sincerely,

H. G.

[The following e-mail was sent to Mr. Head to thank him for directing this lady to the firm's associate, Frank Gomez. Frank was able to overcome her questionable 12 month administrative license suspension (resulting from her DUI arrest) by obtaining a nolo contendere plea to "reckless driving" (rather than DUI) resolution for her case within 90 days of her arrest date and having the DUI dismissed entirely.]

Kudos for Frank G.

Bubba:

Frank rocks!

I could not be more pleased with Frank's representation and our end run around the administrative law judge] . It was rewarding to watch a true professional overcome an unbelievably biased and (dare I say it) erroneous Order Denying Reconsideration. Frank actually secured an outcome even better than I could envision: a Nolo Contendere on Reckless. Yea, Frank. Or as my husband says, "Hoo-ah".
