JOHN has complete incompetence in all family law matters. He lacks sufficient understanding of the law to represent family law and custody cases. He completely misrepresented his abilities until he was well into my case and at that point, NO other attorney would take over the case. Per the attorney that eventually helped me undo some of his damage, "John Gonzales Madrid has no business practicing family law!"John lacks some understanding of the finer definitions of the English language. This is problematic when practicing law. It is commonly said that "an attorney who represents himself has a fool for a client" Check to see in how many suits John Gonzales Madrid has represented himself. I know of at least three!!! This attorney claims broad knowledge of many types of law, yet is insufficiently versed in estate, bankruptcy, child custody and family law from just MY own personal experiences with him. His association is the single worst thing that has happened to me! RUN!
