Excellent Lawyer

Kristina is was amazing. She helped me beat a DWI in which my blood came back 2 times over the limit. I appreciate her dedication and hard work. She showed true dedication to my case. She told me that I wouldn't receive a DWI and was proven to be a woman of her word. I'm so thankful I hired her as my... attorney and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Eternally Grateful

Last year I put myself in a position to lose my wife, kids, job, reputation and my freedom. Hiring a super qualified, aggressive yet personable attorney was paramount to me and my family. From the moment that I met Kristina, Steve, Malinda and Theresa I knew they were the team for the job. Kristina w...as always very patient with me and when you talk to her you can tell that she is truly listening and processing. When she recalls and addresses your concerns she is always spot on...factually and emotionally. When there is something that needs to be explained she is extremely thorough and never rushes. You can tell that Kristina picks and chooses her battles accordingly and when needed she is a fierce fighter that does not like no for an answer. Her knowledge of the law and sensible approach made her in invaluable asset on my cases. She handled herself with dignity and confidence. Thanks K.K. A team is a unit working together seamlessly. Steve and Kristina complement each others styles perfectly. Steve is very aggressive, intelligent, honest and possesses a strong work ethic. This guy has an appetite for success like I have never seen and as a client you will benefit from this attribute. Equally important was that he cares about his clients. Steve is friendly and gets along with everyone. He always spoke to my wife with encouragement and helpful advice. One time I was in a rough spot and everyone was against me. I decided to call Steve and he could tell I was hurting. When he recognized this he dropped the lawyer hat and gave me encouragement to keep doing the next right thing for my wife and kids. I have some much respect for Steve as a man and as a lawyer. I once asked the rhetorical question on how I could re-pay him for his services he replied "just be successful" "I want you to succeed and I don't mean monetarily" " Be a great husband and dad and that will make me happy". Malinda and Theresa play a key role to the success of this law firm. Malinda and Theresa always answered my phone call. I never felt slighted in the least. These ladies are always on top of their cases and work long hours while doing so. There is not 1 occasion that I did not receive an answer from a question I had. Additionally, when they told me that they were going to do something they always followed through. Malinda even listened to me cry and complain on the phone but always encouraged me.. reminding me of my blessings. They would even call me to make sure I was where I was supposed to be on important dates. These ladies are great at what they do and deserve much credit for the office success. The best way that I can describe this law firm is that if I were going to war I would want this team on my side. Finally, impressions mean a lot and when Kristina and Steve walk into the courtroom everyone watches in admiration. My results were as follows: I started with (1) Felony and (2) Class A Misdemeanors. Faced prison, major fines and DL suspension I ended with (0) Felony, (1) Class A Misdemeanor and (1) Class B Misdemeanor. No penalty on the Class A. (1) Yr. Probation on Class B. Thank you Thank you Thank you

The Best

I found myself in trouble in July of 2015, went to court in April 2016 and had another attorney. Wish I had learned about Steve O Gonzalez, things probably would've been different. I ended signing for 3 years as deffered adjudication for possession of control substance less than a gram of thc concen...trate in Brazoria County. Around August I was arrested for reckless driving on my to work as I was late and not paying attention to my speed. Because of that arrest my probation officer sent a motion to adjudicate guilt to the judge. I wanted a different attorney than I had for my possession charge and a good friend told me to go talk to Steve O Gonzalez. I called up Steve O Gonzalez's office and was set up for consultation immediately. I was blown away with the professionalism, knowledge, and willingness to have me as a client. Months went by until a no-bond warrant was issued for the motion to adjudicate guilt. Steve set me a date to turn myself in so I wouldn't spend much time in jail. I was grateful to have such a attorney looking out for my best interest. I turned myself in the morning before 6am in November. Afternoon around 1pm I was loaded up and on my way to court. I was seated in front of the judge who gave me the deferred sentence, I was nervous, but to my surprise Steve O Gonzalez and Kristina King had been working on my behalf the whole morning. Kristina showed up and explained to me what was going to happen. The judge reinstated my deffered probation with no punishment. I was in shock I've been on probation in my late teens and early twenties and always received extra punishment for any motion. I was then moved to the other court room for my reckless driving charge where Kristina was there to plead my case. I plead guilty and only had to pay a small fine and take a defensive driving course. I recently landed myself in some more trouble and immediately hired Steve O Gonzalez and Kristina King again. They are both reassuring, easy contact and the best attorneys I've ever dealt with and I have used a handful of attorneys in my younger days. Kristina is very professional , shows empathy and understanding towards me. I highly recommend Kristina King if you need a attorney.

"In any field, one needs a bona fide survivor in their corner that is willing to lead from the front, the interior or the rear at any given moment. Kristina is not only a survivor but a proven leader. She understands the difference between Integrity and Loyalty. She sifts through the details of her client's case to identify and expose the lack of integrity of the opposition's case. Need to mention she is a scrapper, so don't mistake her kindness for weakness."
