Highly recommend

Attorney Steve O. Gonzalez was extremely professional and helpful throughout my brother’s case. From the beginning, he took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure we understood every step of the process. He kept us informed the entire time, which really helped ease the stress of the sit...uation. We truly felt that he cared about helping my brother and worked hard to get the best possible outcome. His knowledge, professionalism, and dedication really stood out. I highly recommend Attorney Steve O. Gonzalez to anyone looking for a reliable and experienced attorney. 100% – 5 stars! Thank you, Steve. You and your team are the BEST!

Case Dismissed!

Case dismissed! It was a great day when I got that call from Steve! A year prior I found myself in an incident being charged with two counts felony charges that I did not commit. As a mother and wife I knew I needed the best defense as my future was at stake with 15yrs on the line. By asking multiple... people, Steve’s name kept coming up. After our consultation, I was extremely confident he is who I wanted to hire. If you are innocent, trust me you can’t just walk in and say that. It’s a process, and one that Steve is the most knowledgeable of in the court room, and it shows! As a bonus Steve and his wife work together and Kristi is just as solid. Communication was always prompt and most times them reaching out to me first. When I started to have lots of questions Steve and Kristi brought me in office to review and discuss. I always felt at ease with essentially my life in their hands. For being one of the worst instances of my life, Steve you made me feel safe knowing you were the one to defend my case! Of course I’m ecstatic he was able to have my story be heard and get my CASE DISMISSED! Thank you Steve and Kristi!

A man in unfortunate and unexpected situation

In George Orwell Book (Animal Farm) George Orwell said, " All animal are created equal, but some are more equal than others" Ultimately, the quote serves as a cautionary reminder of the potential pitfalls that emerge when individual or collective interests overshadow the principles of fairness and... justice. 1) As my attorney I was updated with phone calls and followed by mail. 2) He did what only the best attorney do, defending the client's interest and reputation and not plea bargaining for lesser sentence. 3) Will stand up for client's rights, Justice and fairness. All attorneys including State Public Defenders are created equal they and they all have the same functions to perform in the civil society. In my experience with Steve and his team are more equal than others in fighting for rights, fairness and justice which is why we go to court. After going through the system once I pray, I never be in that situation again, I am glad I found an attorney that suited my needs. If I were to be in the situation again, I would rather walk into that court with this attorney with confidence knowing that nothing can possibly go wrong. For anyone that may need the service of an attorney, I highly recommend Steve and this team if you want to come out innocent OR you might as well settle for a public Defender and give the prosecutor your jail house uniform size before you get to the courthouse. The difference will be clear after the verdict, you make the choice.

Great result

Great law firm, excellent staff, very helpful ... I got a much better result than I thought possible, and so much faster. Way better than I have heard from other people in similar situations. I would hire these people again. Kristina King was the attorney that handled my case and she was excellent. A...lso the paralegal that fielded my questions, Isabela Juarez was very helpful, very professional, very responsive, and always available.

Excellent Lawyer

Steve handled my case with the utmost professionalism from start to finish. I never felt like a number with him, he always treated me as if I was his only client. He stayed in constant contact with me, and made sure I knew every possibility throughout the whole case.I will definitely refer him to all... my friends and family.

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."
