About Us
“We take care of our clients like they are part of our family.”
OUR STORY
Our Hollister, California law firm of Gonzalez & Jones, APC is a community-oriented, family-based legal team providing skilled and aggressive personal injury and criminal defense representation. With over 40 years in business, as a close-knit, family-run boutique legal firm, we loved being known as the legal firm that takes care of our clients like they are part of our family. Our number one priority is always doing what is best for our clients, whether through artful and creative negotiation or powerful and aggressive litigation.
We’re about family through and through – from our values to our team. Attorney Milton F. Gonzalez has practiced in Gilroy as a counselor and litigator since 1981. Attorney Zoi Jones, Milton’s daughter, brings a modern dynamic, along with the same strength of commitment and dedication as her father. While the rest of our family keeps the firm running efficiently and smoothly and works closely with clients to deliver high-quality, client-service-oriented legal services.
Gonzalez & Jones, APC is dedicated to serving and protecting our clients and to making our community the best it can possibly be.
When we’re not serving our community, the whole family can be found laughing and enjoying lakeside vacations, together. We’re a family who not only works very well together but also relaxes and spends real family time together too. That tells you everything you need to know about how strong our family ties really are.
OUR MISSION
We believe that every voice deserves to be heard.
That’s why for us, there is no accident, injury, case, or person too small. Because, unlike our larger legal competitors, we are committed to amplifying the voices who otherwise would have no champion.
And if there’s a single undeniable truth about life it’s that you only get one shot to live it. So we ask, how will you have lived? Will you have dreamed big enough? Taken care of yourself? Surrounded yourself with the right support? Overcome pain, overwhelm, and anxiety?
At Gonzalez & Jones, APC, we are for you.
The Families.
The Workers.
The People in Need.
The Community.
Because we are just like you.
Fellow community members who are dedicated to serving and protecting our clients to ensure they get the care, compensation, consultation, and support they deserve.
We take care of our clients like they are part of our family.
