Clemente Guillermo Gomez-Rodriguez (January 25, 1939 in Havana, Cuba) was a prominent defense lawyer in Cuba for 22 years and is now a writer.
Dr. Gomez studied in the Catholic school in Cuba (La Salle and La Luz) and was arrested at age 16 in 1955 for participating in a rally against the regime of Fulgencio Batista. He later studied law at the Law School of the University of Havana. As a defense attorney he participated in over fifteen thousand criminal cases. In the Case of General and former Cuban Minister of the Interior Jose Abrantes Fernandez, one of the most famous of Cuban criminal cases, he was one of the defense attorneys. He was arrested for trying to leave Cuba and sentenced to two years in prison. Upon his release, he was allowed to go to the United States with most of his family as a political refugee. He was assisted in entering the United States by his cousin's son, Alonso R. del Portillo, Assistant District Director to Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. He became a US citizen in 2001. He retired in 2005 because of ill health and has decided to dedicate the rest of his life to writing. His first book, Te Van a Fusilar (They Will Execute You) was published in 2007.
He is the son of former Cuban Army Major Clemente Ricardo Gomez-Sicre (1906-1983) and Maria del Carmen Rodriguez-Fontanills (1915-1943).
