The Man with the Plan

He is very professional and gets the job done. No case to big, he has your back without a doubt! He got my case dismissed with the DA going at me at different angles, but he still got the case dismissed!

Phenomenal Attorney

If you ever find yourself needing the most dedicated, compassionate, and professional legal counsel on the Texas Gulf Coast, look no further. I highly recommend the Law Office of Steve O. Gonzalez.

All felonies dismissed!!!!

Steve and his wife KK were extremely kind and up front. The amount of help I got from their team was more than helpful. Always punctual, honest and kept it professional. I couldn’t thank the people who referred me to them enough. Steve, KK love y’all and thank you so much. If you hire the best you’ll... only get the best results!!

Fantasitic & Professional

Hands down, these folks are the best in the business! Thanks to Steve, KK, and the rest of the crew at the firm I can now rest at ease after getting the case dismissed. No matter how minor or major the case may be, these folks put everything into it as if it becomes their personal matter. Thanks G...onzalez law firm!

Steve Oliver Gonzalez's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse Steve

Unknown lawyer | Apr 08

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Gonzalez is a friend of mine who is also a brilliant, tenacious, fearless defense attorney and trial lawyer. He knows how to try difficult cases and win. He believes in his client and advocates for them like a pitbull, but does so with intelligence, class, eloquence, skill and an unteachable way of relating to juries. Some of the skills he have can't be taught. He's in a truly special class of elite defense attorneys and I wholeheartedly recommend him."

Criminal defense lawyer | Jul 08

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Steve Gonzalez is one of the most talented and tenacious trial attorneys that I have had the pleasure to work with. Two years ago, I had a 20 year old client from Bangladesh who was facing two felony charges in Brazoria Co. and certain deportation if convicted. Three months worth of negotiating with the prosecutor got me nowhere. In fact, the prosecutor wouldn't even talk to me, much less entertain a reduction, which was all we needed. So, I spoke to Steve about the case to get his advice on how to deal with this particular prosecutor. Without hesitation, Steve got involved and went to work. A week before the trial, Steve called me with the great news. The prosecutor agreed to dismiss both charges. Steve's work on this case saved a family from being ripped apart. I will always be grateful to Steve for his work on that case and I know the family will always be thankful for every day they get to spend with their son."

"Mr. Gonzalez is a very skilled, experienced, and diligent criminal defense lawyer. I have worked with him on several cases where our clients had a criminal charge pending against them and they had an ICE hold. I have always known Steve to be extremely hard-working, loyal and honest. He is a lawyer whom I trust and have complete faith in. Any person would be lucky to have Mr. Gonzalez represent them. He is a fighter and does not give up. I highly recommend and endorse Steve Gonzalez."

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
