Dependable and Hardworking and with a Very Positive Attitude

Steve represented me in a very professional manner. He explained to me all details in hand about my case. If any changes were made Steve would bring this to my attention and his staff Ama Gonzalez and Malinda Smith provided full support in my case as well. I would definitely rehire STEVE GONZALEZ as ...my lawyer and I would highly recommend to others as well.

Daughter's Case

Mr. Gonzalez was approachable, courteous, and extremely informative upon our first appointment. He explained the process in layman's terms, and made us feel he truly cared about us as people with individual needs, not just clients. Communication was always timely and information passed on was extre...mely clear. All office personnel were professional, yet friendly and helpful. I have worked with several other attorneys, in the past, and can honestly say I would refer Mr. Gonzalez to everyone who might need his services. Honesty, integrity, caring, and knowledgeable are just a few of the words to describe this attorney, He is in the right business!

Posted by Daniel | February 20, 2015 | Criminal Defense

A true professional, excellent attorney, and remarkable person.

From day one Mr. Gonzalez treated me with respect and always believed in me. As a promising career advocate and dedicated to my own profession, Steve reassured me that my incident was truly a minor hiccup and himself believed so as well. He fought hard to assure me that my life could get back on trac...k and truly testified upon my character in mind despite not having known me for very long. Whereas some in the criminal justice system would merely judge someone based on a few paragraphs on a sheet of paper, this man looked passed the ink and fully committed himself to inspire me to continue on my career and took the time to make me feel, as I truly believe, as though I was not a criminal or a bad person. I would highly recommend Mr. Steve Gonzalez to anybody who truly deserves a second chance, as he will instill the wisdom you need to continue with your life in person and fought as hard as he possibly can behind closed doors.

Highly Recommended!

After my arrest for a DUI and being released on bond, I did not know where to turn, looked on a web site for DUI attorneys, and found Jeb and Steve's site, decided to call and within 5 minutes they responded and set me at ease. I always felt Steve had my best interest in mind and he and his office di...d a fantastic job of keeping me informed. Watching Steve enter a court room is amazing as he commands such a presence and respect. Watching him working with the procecutor was great as you knew he was demanding the best for his client. When it was all done, he got me exactly what he said he would, my DUI was reduced to reckless driving, which was very important to me as I kept my EMT license as well as my CHL. Also my employeer of 30 years was never compromised. I will never hesitate to recommend Steve and his team, or if I ever need an attorney, He's first on my list.

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."

Criminal defense lawyer | Jul 08

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."
