Absolutely amazing

When first met with Steve my life was a wreck, I was in the middle of the worst fight of my life. From the moment I stepped into his office I felt safe. Steve and all of his staff did everything in their power to help me and reassure me everything was going to be okay. They talked to me and kept me i...n the loop every step of the way. I never once felt like I was being ignored or forgotten about with them. Steve was there to answer every phone call and text I sent wit the utmost reassurance everything was going to be okay. Even the women in the office were amazing, especially Melinda. They paid attention to every detail of the case and treated me like a person. They knew that everything that was dear to me hung on this case of mine. They did not just win a case for me, they won my life back for me and my daughter. Words cannot describe how thankful I am to Steve and his team, and I will be eternally grateful for all of the hard work and effort he put forth for me.

Defense Lawyer

I am extremely satisfied with my experience with Steve Gonzalez and his law firm. I contacted him in November of 2016 and hired him the next day. He took the time to explain all the facts of my DWI case and the impact of each of the steps along the way. He is very knowledgeable about DWI laws and ...I always felt he had my best interest at heart and I am pleased with the dismissal of my case. I would highly recommend him and his firm to handle your defense case.

Unfortunate event with an outstanding outcome

Mr Gonzalez is aggressive, knowledgeable, and no- nonsense. A caring father who treated my daughter as his own and provided meaningful legal advice. He was able to negotiate a resolution so my child will not have long term legal ramifications. I will recommend Steve to anyone if asked for an attorney... who will vigorously fight for their client.

The Best DWI Lawyer in Texas

I was charged with a DWI with a blood alcohol level of over .15 which made it a class A misdemeanor. I was afraid I would lose my job and license. To be honest I was skeptical of what Steve would be able to do since my BAC was very high, but somehow he got the charge reduced to reckless driving and... speeding. I didn't have to go on probation or do any community service hours. Now I can return to working full time on weekdays and weekends just how I did before this incident occurred. If you need a lawyer who can fight for you in the Brazoria county area, then there is no one better. Steve Gonzalez talks a big game and DELIVERS.

Still free

Steve was blunt and real about my situation. I thought I was going to prison. Steve never said I wasn't but did assure me he would do my best to keep me out. He did just that. The outcome of my case was very good considering the circumstances and my past. All I can really say is thank you for helping... me and if asked I would definitely recommend his sevices. On a side note Melinda was great. Any questions I had got answered and problems fixed. A lovely person. Steve and his staff were great. In the event that I find myself in a stupid position again my first call is to gis office.

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 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."
