Highly Recommend

I not only recommend attorney Steve O. Gonzales, but I guarantee once you have used his firm you too will look no further. Steve and Kristina are both very knowledgeable, professional and kept me informed the entire time. The office staff was very professional, extremely helpful and helped me every ...step of the way. All my phone calls were always returned very quickly. Highly recommend!!

The J.J. Watt of Lawyers

I was facing very serious felony charges and had already had met with two other attorneys when a friend recommended Steve Gonzales. I new I needed the best lawyer. After my consultation with Steve my husband and I had no doubt that he was the attorney we would hire. Steve’s knowledge of the law, an...d confidence eased my concerns. He explained the process and system to us in terms we could understand. The office always answered my phone calls and emails promptly. In the end Steve and his team got my case dismissed. I am so grateful for Steve Gonzales and could not be more satisfied with work he did on my case. If your looking for the best look no further the Steve Gonzales.

BEST IN THE BUSINESS!

I was referred to Steve O. Gonzalez's office due to another lawyer not having room in his schedule to immediately jump on my case. Other lawyers told me not to do this and not to do that, don't talk to them and don't answer them. When I sat down and met with Steve and Kristina King, everything change...d. I had been dealing with my case and these serious allegations since June 5, 2019, and every day was something different. My first meeting with them was on December 10th. I told them everything about my case and they jumped into action. They called and got status updates, got information that no one else could get, and it was amazing but frightening at the same time. Steve was down to earth, straight forward, to the point, and very professional. On December 12, 2019, we had another meeting after I officially hired them to represent me. They had private investigators there waiting to meet me, polygraph examiners ready to administer test and I was stunned at the amount of professionalism. After conducting 10 plus character witness statements, taking 3 polygraph test and having continued communication with Kristina King, they were able to put together a grand jury packet to be presented on December 19th. After going in to testify before the grand jury at the advice of Steve, it was a waiting game. The very next day, I received a phone call from Kristina King stating that the case was closed. There was no messing around, she got right to the point. Because of this amazing team, I was able to enjoy what was left of my holiday season after being emotionally drained for 6 months. I will forever be grateful to this amazing team for what they were able to pull together for me in under 2 weeks. To them, I say thank you from the bottom of my heart!

No brainer, best lawyer hands down!

I found myself in a very precarious situation, one that I never would’ve imagined. I met with Steve and explained my situation and he immediately got started on my case and was very thorough with getting all pertinent information from me an others involved in my case. Steve and his office kept me inf...ormed throughout the entire process and was honest with what I should expect. Though Steve’s tireless work ethic and relationships, he was able to get my case dismissed. I didn’t think it was possible for my case to get dismissed but with Steve and his teams help that’s exactly what happened. I can’t thank him enough he is an amazing lawyer and person who genuinely cared about my family and myself. I will continue to recommend Steve to anyone and everyone who is in need.

"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."
