Internship at The Public Defender’s Office

While attending Lincoln Law School at night Mr. Gonzales worked as an intern at the Placer County Public Defender’s office where he wrote and argued a variety of motions, including right to speedy trial and illegal search and seizure motions where the cases were ultimately dismissed. There, he was able to work as a certified law student and was lead counsel in four jury trials against experienced prosecutors and received both not guilty verdicts and hung jury verdicts.

After taking andpassing the bar exam on the first attempt, he received his license to practice law and he was immediately hired by the public defender’s office. Here he was quickly promoted to the DUI unit and handled both misdemeanor and felony DUI’s. There he obtained invaluable jury trial experience where most cases ended with successful results. In the first year at the public defender’s office as an attorney, he received an award for first runner-up for the most overall dismissals, good trial verdicts and misdemeanor pleas in felony cases.
