I called Dale on a Sunday and he quickly answered. He eased my mind that he could help me, during one of the worst times of my life and with such confidence. During the whole process he stayed on top of everything, had great communication, reassurance (I am sure my anxiety made it difficult to deal with me), and held my hand through the whole process. He was very honest and very easy to communicate with and also was able to get my charges reduced so that I was able to still be with my children, keep my job and my home and I am forever grateful! I highly recommend him for representation! Thank you so much for all you have done for my family and I!

I had an excellent experience being represented by Attorney Dale Gomes. He was able to negotiate quickly and effectively with the District Attorneys Office. His ability to resolve my case frankly surpassed any outcome I had expected upon hiring him, and he was able to get the case dismissed. He has past experience as an attorney with the DA's office and was able to bring my case to a fast resolution. He was always responsive when I called, making contact with me within 24 hours, and he charged a "flat" retainer for services rendered which I felt was well worth the fee. I would highly recommend Attorney Dale Gomes for criminal defense work.

Several months ago, false accusations of hit-and-run were leveled against me by a corrupt and unscrupulous police department. Devastated by this news, I frantically reached out to several local attorneys in desperation for help. Much to my relief, Attorney Dale R. Gomes immediately returned my call and promptly started working on my case. Throughout my experience working with the Law Offices of Dale R. Gomes, I have been treated with the highest levels of professionalism and courtesy. Attorney Gomes went the extra mile for me. He followed up with the District Attorney on a regular basis so he could stay on top of any and all developments. I really liked the fact he provided me with updates without charging me for each telephone interaction. Instead, he offered me a flat retainer for all services provided. Attorney Gomes gave me the courage to fight injustice and recently helped me secure a victory. The District Attorney decided not to file any charges against me. Not once did I have to appear in court. I give The Law Offices of Dale R. Gomes 6 Stars and my strongest personal recommendation.

Dale and Nicole are the best attorneys you could ever hope to have. While Dale was representing me, he hired Nicole (another attorney), and WOW, she is talented and an incredible attorney. They are communicative, honest, hard-working, and go above and beyond. They are attorneys who aren't just in it for the money, but also care about their clients. I had never experienced working with anyone from any field or any time in my life who provided as much thought, time and hard-work into helping me--not just in law, but in life. Thank you so much Dale and Nicole! You have both made a permanent positive impact on my life--both from the amazing results of my case AND from how you treated me as a person first and foremost. I highly recommend them. They are special advocates that you won't find anywhere else.

Dale is a very competent and qualified defense attorney. Almost immediately, as I came into his office, he handled it, very efficient. Dale got my case dismissed two weeks after my arraignment. Most importantly, I hired Dale because he?s very personable, honest, attentive, witty, and extremely knowledgeable. Also, the best defense attorneys are former prosecutors, like Dale. It?s like hire one, get one free!. He is knowledgeable on both sides of the law, as a former prosecutor. He?s very sharp. Best experience ever. Very grateful. Karen M

Dale moved quickly, started working as soon as I got off the phone with him for my son. He is one of the best lawyers in my opinion and I highly recommend him to you. He is kind and courteous with a wealth of knowledge and experience, you will not be disappointed in his services!

Mr Gomes representation was nothing short of exceptional. He took the time to understand ALL of the details of my case, and crafted an approach that obtained a swift, just and successful outcome. He also maintained the highest ethical and moral standards for himself, the Justice system, and my family. Simply put: if you need the best advice and representation, you NEED Dale Gomes, the best local attorney at law.

I contacted dale and several other attorneys regarding an unfortunate circumstance I was involved in. it was late evening around dinner time on a sunday. some attorneys replied back they would contact me Monday others didn't reply back at all. Dale immediately contact me and went out of his way to talk to me in detail about what to expect. I scheduled an appointment to meet with him and also a few other attorneys monday morning. all the other attorneys went into very little detail about what was happening but didn't take long to immediately start talking about money. I do understand they are running a business, but at the same time it says a lot in my opinion what their true intentions are. After speaking with dale it just felt so comfortable because I could tell that he was truly there to help me. it was an easy decision to choose dale and the person I wanted representing me. needless to say he kept his word about everything, went above and beyond expectations and the most important part. I didn't serve any jail time and all my charges were dropped. thank you so much for your help dale

I highly recomend Mr. Gomes . I cant speak highly enough of him. He will fight for you, and your family. beyond what he needs to do. He's a real person, who actually cares about his clients and the effort he puts into your case, reflects that. He is very responsive, and hard working. He goes out of his way to make sure things happen for you. He is personable, he is hard working, he has good ethics and empathy. All which makes the best kind of lawyer ( and person ) to be on your side. He sees things through and is honest. He will help you with any questions and is fast in responding. We can't thank him enough for all he has done and still is doing for our family.

Well if you want the best of the best, Dale is your man. He knows the inns an outs of the District Attorney's office. There is good cause for this statement. Dale was just recently an employee of the District Attorney's Office and retired out. Think about it. He literally knows the exact process while also knowing how the department thinks. So now Dale is on the other side. My last case that was dismissed was a direct result of Dale putting in the work that it took for them to dismiss the case. He will fight for you all the way.

Although it was last minute, Dale was super helpful with my case. He literally gave me a peace of mind. He asked me exactly what was going on, I explained and he literally told me it?s no big deal and he?s for sure they?ll drop my case. He told me he would call the DA the next morning to check and see if they dropped my charges or not. If they didn?t then he will appear at my arraignment at no charge. The next day I had court, I called him to see if he had any news. He told me he had great new and that the DA had dropped all my charges. I went to court anyways, they didn?t call me in the court room. They let me go telling me all charges had been dropped. I do believe he is a great lawyer. I would highly recommend him. If I ever do need a lawyer again I would definitely come back to him. Thank you so much, Dale!

Initially Dale made me feel very comfortable and said all the right things so I ended up hiring him to represent me. However, upon meeting on the day of my first court date he started our interaction by calling my case "shady" then went into the court room and did exactly what I asked him NOT to do upon hiring him. The day after my second court date he referred to me as a "bull**** innocent victim", amongst many other statements that made me feel disrespected & like he wasn't even on my side. This morning I emailed him in an attempt to come to an understanding before moving forward, as we had failed to do so thus far. To which he responded claiming that I was "threatening" him & that he "does not beg people" to hire him, despite clarifying multiple times that I just wanted to come to an understanding. I had no choice other than to terminate our contract. Dale is very manipulative and plays mind games. This has been the most traumatic experience of my life and Dale only contributed to making it that much worse. It is my strong opinion that he is not for his clients, he is for his money and his ego. Dale said as a selling point in our initial interview that he had been a DA for 19 years so he knows how they think. But the reality is he has the mindset of a DA and presumes you guilty before the court even has a chance to. I will never recommend dale to anyone I care about or who values their freedom.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
