South Florida attorneys who knew Gonzalez shared reflections on his life with the Daily Business Review and on social media.

“Ervin was my cheerleader as I worked my way up the ranks of the American Association for Justice. He was my sounding board when I needed an outsider’s viewpoint, and his advice was always sage. He wanted all of us to succeed, and he recognized that any legal success was a success for the bar in general. His death leaves a huge void, for me, for the Colson Hicks Eidson family, and for the community.”
