Employee Theft and Embezzlement

If you are a professional and charged with misapplication of fiduciary property (theft from an employer), you face not only the possibility of prison, but also the loss of your professional license. Joe D. Gonzales has successfully represented doctors, nurses, lawyers, CPAs, trustees, executors, bank tellers, teachers, commercial drivers, and others whose Texas licensure is their livelihood.

Mr. Gonzales also has helped many of these clients avoid jail or prison, or even avoid conviction through deferred adjudication (probation and restitution). If he cannot obtain a dismissal or favorable reduction of charges in your case, he is prepared to go to trial and make the prosecution prove that a crime occurred and that is was committed with criminal intent.

Broad Experience and Unique Perspectives

White collar crimes are often charged in the federal courts, which means that you are confronting charges filed by the FBI, the Secret Service, the U.S. Customs Service, or the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). With 20 years of criminal trial experience, attorney Joe D. Gonzales is comfortable confronting federal prosecutors to defend you against your white collar crime charges. Prior to entering private practice, he served as a Magistrate Judge for seven years in San Antonio, and eight years as a prosecutor in the District Attorney's Offices of Houston and San Antonio. This extensive experience with the criminal justice system has proven to be highly effective in the defense of many serious federal charges.

San Antonio defense lawyer Joe D. Gonzales is especially familiar with federal criminal courts and federal prosecutors through his service on the "A+ Panel", a group of private criminal defense attorneys who serve as court-appointed counsel in federal cases pending in the San Antonio Division of the U.S. District Court for the District of West Texas.
