Associate Attorney Lourdes Gonzalez

A self-professed lover of the area of criminal law, Lourdes Gonzalez is Musca Law Firm’s resident multilingual attorney.   Fluent in English, Spanish, and French, she brings an unparalleled level of communication to our clients that are not versed in the English language.  As the inability to discuss a case is just another hurdle in the already uncomfortable situation of facing criminal charges, her language skills offer a comfort to our non-English speaking clients.

Mrs. Gonzalez has practiced in the field of criminal law for twenty years, often obtaining dismissal of charges or victorious trial adjudications.  Since 1990, she has successfully operated her own personal practice, in addition to serving as a Florida public defender with a significant caseload of over 250 matters.  Her practice includes many cases before the federal courts of Florida.  She has also proved her legal acumen by serving as editor for legal encyclopedias, as well having several articles published.

Throughout her legal career, Mrs. Gonzalez has garnered experience in many different areas of the law.  During law school, she worked at the Alternative Dispute Resolution Center and assisted professors in publishing materials concerning estate planning, business development, and family law.  Post law school, she has devoted herself to working for the benefit of dependent and delinquent children, which provided an opportunity to practice before appellate courts.  Further, she founded and operated a jury consultation company, giving an excellent working knowledge of how to select the right jury, should a case proceed to trial. 

When not busy with the practice of law, Mrs. Gonzalez is a family orientated wife and an active participant in her community.  She has served as the president of a PTO group committed to propelling gifted students to even further heights.  Not satisfied with this accomplishment, she has moved on to president of another PTO group that develops fundraising projects, organizes and hosts school functions, and coordinates with teachers to improve the educational system. 

Musca Law is confident that you find Mrs. Gonzalez perfect for your legal and lingual needs.
