Best in Brazoria County

Steve is by far the best lawyer I have ever had to use! His entire team was very helpful throughout this nightmare! Steve is not just a lawyer but a friend when it comes to his clients!

Brazoria Superstar DWI Attorney

March 2016 was a bad month for me when I ended up in Brazoria County Jail for DWI 2nd. I knew that for this unfortunate situation I would need the best attorney in Brazoria County. That person ended up being Steve. I interviewed multiple top rank attorneys and had them narrowed to Steve Gonzalez and ...Mark Thiessen. My cousin, a local assistant da actually recommended that I hire Steve. I now clearly know why! I ended up hiring both of them but Steve handled my case entirely. 13 months later Steve negotiated a reduction to Reckless Driving with 1 year probation. I thought about it for two minutes weighing out options because my case had a good shot for dismissal in trial. A reduction for DWI 2nd is rare and exactly what I was hoping for and I got It, thx to Steve! Without a doubt hire Steve Gonzalez and his wonderful staff. He is the best DWI attorney in Brazoria County Period!

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 had been working on my behalf the whole morning. 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 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 again. He is reassuring, easy contact and the best attorney I've ever dealt with and I have used a handful of attorneys in my younger days. I highly recommend him.

Very Professional

I was very satisfied with Steve Gonzalez handling both my cases. I was able to get both dismissed. People might think his price is to high but one thing I can say is you get what you pay for. Thank you Steve Gonzalez for your excellent work.

"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."
