As a newspaper reporter covering many trials, I became a keen observer of lawyers, particularly criminal defense lawyers. I'd watch how they interacted with other lawyers, with prosecutors, with court officers and with judges. The good ones came prepared and worked fast. They knew who they had to see... to get justice for their client. They didn't "stand around." Steve Gonzalez is a "good one." Beyond that, he excels in the hand-holding that most clients, being courtroom amateurs, need. We're from out of town, and Steve was recommended to us. Until our court date, all contact was by phone. Once in the courtroom, it was obvious that we had a winner. Great advice, very sympathetic when we needed that. A fine lawyer!

I initially retained another attorney before I was referred to Steve. After witnessing her in court I lost faith and credibility and decided to not leave my career in the hands of someone whom I did not trust. Firing my previous attorney and retaining Steve was without a doubt the best decision I hav...e made. A criminal charge can change a person's life, career and opportunities in the future. I had a lot at stake with professional licensing, a nasty divorce with bitter custody dispute over children and a pending charge for something I did not do. When I needed a referral specifically for a licensing question, he is heavily networked and promptly got me in touch within 30 minutes with an attorney with 20+ years of experience sitting on the licensing board. This calmed my fears and was reassuring. When I met Steve he listened, was empathetic, worked with my divorce attorney and got the charge dismissed as expedited as possible with regard to the legal system. He took considerable time to review the information I gave him, was very honest and transparent with me and kept in close communication with me via text/calls to give me status updates. He is genuinely invested in his clients and wants the best for them. Steve is one of the lawyers (and I have met many) who actually delivers on what he says. If my family or friends were ever in need of an attorney Steve is the one I would send them to.

I was charged with my 2nd DWI and facing jail time. From my first consultation with Mr. Gonzalez he told me he would fight for NO JAIL and NO PROBATION only a fine. After 2 months of negotiating with the prosecutor and me following Mr. Gonzalez guidelines we were able to reach a very favorable decisi...on in my case of NO JAIL and NO PROBATION like he originally said. His office kept in contact with me from the beginning to the nd of my case and kept me informed with what was going on. Overall I am beyond happy with my verdict and encourage others to use Mr. Gonzalez council for legal help. Thanks for your help!

I hired Steve Gonzalez and his team in the hopes that they could quash the ridiculous disorderly conduct charge against me. He delivered in spades, getting the case dismissed rapidly! Steve is not only a highly experienced, skillful, brilliant attorney but a compassionate one as well. He took the tim...e to listen and truly grasp the issues at hand. Truth always prevails and Steve makes sure of that! He is the very BEST lawyer you can hire when unfortunate events happen to good people!

Steve Gonzalez is the most professional and agressive lawyer around. He got my case dismissed. When I hired him I told him I was not guilty and he believed me. I even told him I would plead guilty to avoid going to trial, and he said “sorry Joel but i can’t do that”. I will not plead you guilty if yo...u’re not guilty. That would be unethical were his exact words. So if you’re looking for the best attorney, call Steve O. Gonzalez........
