Best Lawyer around

I was on trial for a 2nd DWI. I hired Mr. Gonzalez as I had used him before. The whole process was very professional and everyone was very nice. If you work a lot like I do they’re very good about doing appointments over the phone if need be or emailing you. Can’t guarantee anything for anyone but he... got my 2nd DWI dropped down to a traffic infraction with a license still in tact, no probation, and no jail. Can’t ask for anything better. Will definitely recommend if I know anyone that needs a layer.

BEST DWI LAWYER

I have used Steve 2 times and both times Steve and his staff were almost like friends, Steve is the type of person that treats his customers like family, if I had a question about something I could text him on a Saturday afternoon and get a text back with in 30 mins, thats how much Steve and his staf...f care. As far as a DWI lawyer Steve IS THE BEST. Its funny I have a customer at my place of business that is a police officer I just got my first DWI, I asked him does he have anyone as far as a lawyer that was good, He gave me Steve's name and told me this is who they fear going up against. I called Steve about 12 years ago for my first DWI, Steve and his staff held my hand and guided me to getting the DWI dropped to reckless driving. About 9 Months ago I did it again and did the stupid thing getting behind the wheel drunk, the video of them getting me out the truck was so bad that Steve had his hands full once again his staff and him helped me to get a fine of a 1,000 dollars, NOTHING else. Another thing I forgot to add his staff had my Occupational License to me within 6 days of my hiring him. Steve is the best of the best, but he also has a staff that follows Steve's lead in taking care of their customers, anyone with a DWI this is the guy

Amazing Lawyer

I hired Steve Gonzalez for my DWI case. My blood test came back 2 times over the limit. He not only had my ALR case dismissed but he was also able to get the DWI dropped to a wreckless driving. The work he does is amazing. He is honest, straight up, and very personable. I would highly recommend him t...o anyone. If you need a great attorney to help you out of a bad situation give Steve a call.

Totally Proffessional and Effective

Stevo, Christy and the entire staff treated me professionally, courteously and respectively from day 1. They work as a team and they were very diligent, knowledgeable and extremely thorough in their representation of me. In the beginning, Stevo explained the whole process and his confidence in himsel...f, Christy and the entire staff is apparent. My DWI charge was reduced to a traffic ticket and my illegal weapons charge dismissed. Thank you Stevo, Christy and the whole staff!

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.

"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."
