A man in unfortunate and unexpected situation

In George Orwell Book (Animal Farm) George Orwell said, " All animal are created equal, but some are more equal than others" Ultimately, the quote serves as a cautionary reminder of the potential pitfalls that emerge when individual or collective interests overshadow the principles of fairness and... justice. 1) As my attorney I was updated with phone calls and followed by mail. 2) He did what only the best attorney do, defending the client's interest and reputation and not plea bargaining for lesser sentence. 3) Will stand up for client's rights, Justice and fairness. All attorneys including State Public Defenders are created equal they and they all have the same functions to perform in the civil society. In my experience with Steve and his team are more equal than others in fighting for rights, fairness and justice which is why we go to court. After going through the system once I pray, I never be in that situation again, I am glad I found an attorney that suited my needs. If I were to be in the situation again, I would rather walk into that court with this attorney with confidence knowing that nothing can possibly go wrong. For anyone that may need the service of an attorney, I highly recommend Steve and this team if you want to come out innocent OR you might as well settle for a public Defender and give the prosecutor your jail house uniform size before you get to the courthouse. The difference will be clear after the verdict, you make the choice.

"Godsend"

I was charged with 2 felony cases (DWI & Evading) and my life had just turned upside down. I was looking to hire the best attorney in Brazoria County and everyone I talked to said Steve Gonzalez was the best. Through his hard work and persistence, he was able to prove my innocence. I wouldn't want m...y life in anyone else's hand except his.

Best Lawyer hands down! Your in good hands if you hire them

I was facing a very scary and very serious felony charge and I was innocent! Steve Gonzalez and Kristi fought and got no bill. When they tell you you’re in good hands, you if you don’t take thier word for it please take mine! They got me my life back and I could never ever thank them enough for this.... The best hands down

Highly recommended

I wanted to share my recent experience with Steve and Kristina. Most of my interaction was with Kristina, but I must say, Steve and Kristina make an excellent team. They both showed great initiative in fighting for my case and were able to successfully get my charges dismissed. I can confidently sa...y that Steve and his associates are highly regarded as the best lawyers. Thank y’all so much!

Steve O Gonzalez and team are one of the best

I had a two charges involving a car accident also I had firearms in my vehicle so 2 charges against me a DWI and UCOF, I was I deep trouble well after consulting with several other attorneys in the Brazoria County I wasn't convinced that they could have had help me, my wife told me someone mentioned ...Steve O Gonzalez immediately contacted Mister Gonzalez him and her assistant, brought me to their office to discuss my situation, after a long detailed conversation Mister Gonzalez and his assistant told me that it will be a challenging case but they were certain that they could help me to my best interest, Now after that meeting we communicated via phone calls every time some changes or they needed something from me so 10/10 on communication and cleanliness explaining why and what they needed such information, that lasted about 9 months battling the DA and judge, and finally on August the 10th 2023 Steve O Gonzalez and team their perseverance, endurance and hard work, paid off they had my DWI reduced to a minor traffic violation my charge UCOF got dismissed I got my firearms back 3 to be exact, So if I ever need some representation I without hesitation I will call Mister Steve O Gonzalez and team, I will add that Mister Gonzalez might be a high end firm but I'll tell you all! he is well worth every penny and more, My gratitude to Mister Gonzalez and team are forever grateful JML

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."

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."

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."
