After graduate school Gonzalo moved to Chicago, Illinois where he worked in the International Trade Department of Baker & McKenzie, the world's largest law firm with over 1,500 lawyers in offices in 150 countries.

Two years later he founded the law firm of Mullen & Fernandez until his partner, Michael Mullen, was appointed to the bench of the Missouri Associate Circuit Court. In July of 2000 Gonzalo merged his law practice with the law firm of Devereaux, Stokes & Nolan, a long standing firm that focuses on plaintiff's medical malpractice and personal injury litigation.
