Excellent Lawyer

Steve handled my case with the utmost professionalism from start to finish. I never felt like a number with him, he always treated me as if I was his only client. He stayed in constant contact with me, and made sure I knew every possibility throughout the whole case.I will definitely refer him to all... my friends and family.

Mr. Gonzalez did a wonderful job in my defense. He was able to save a lot of money, time, and expert advice. He was very professional and treated my case an an individual. I would highly recommend Mr. Gonzalez to anyone needing a top notch attorney.

BEST DWI LAWYER

I have used Steve 2 times and both times Steve and his staff were almost like friends, Steve is the type of person that treats his customers like family, if I had a question about something I could text him on a Saturday afternoon and get a text back with in 30 mins, thats how much Steve and his staf...f care. As far as a DWI lawyer Steve IS THE BEST. Its funny I have a customer at my place of business that is a police officer I just got my first DWI, I asked him does he have anyone as far as a lawyer that was good, He gave me Steve's name and told me this is who they fear going up against. I called Steve about 12 years ago for my first DWI, Steve and his staff held my hand and guided me to getting the DWI dropped to reckless driving. About 9 Months ago I did it again and did the stupid thing getting behind the wheel drunk, the video of them getting me out the truck was so bad that Steve had his hands full once again his staff and him helped me to get a fine of a 1,000 dollars, NOTHING else. Another thing I forgot to add his staff had my Occupational License to me within 6 days of my hiring him. Steve is the best of the best, but he also has a staff that follows Steve's lead in taking care of their customers, anyone with a DWI this is the guy

Best lawyer BY FAR!!!

When I seemed to have found myself in trouble, I knew I had seen this name all over brazoria county. Steve Gonzales law firm. So I immediately called for consultation. Right up front they were honest, said it’d be a tough case but they absolutely would fight and try to dismiss it. Assuring me that it... may take a while, but they weren’t going to give up. The price was a little more than I imagined but after consideration I knew it cost more to get good quality work. With ease of a payment plan that they offered, it ended up not being so bad. The outcome of a dismissal a year later was worth the money, worth the wait and DEFINITELY worth hiring this law firm. I 100% recommend their team.

"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."

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."
