About Us

About Our Firm

Gonzales Law Firm serves the injured and the families of wrongful death victims throughout Corpus Christi in claims and lawsuits. Our family-owned law firm brings you exceptional experience, industry recognition, and unwavering commitment during some of your life’s most painful and challenging times.

Because we primarily focus on Texas personal injury law, we understand what it takes to thoroughly investigate, prepare, and successfully negotiate cases involving injuries ranging from temporary to life-changing catastrophes, such as traumatic brain injuries. We never back down from insurance companies that try to avoid fair settlements through tactics ranging from lowball offers to outright denial of claims.

If you or someone you love has been injured in an accident caused by the negligence or wrongdoing of another, we urge you to discuss your case with one of our Spanish speaking personal injury attorneys to get the advice and guidance you need.

Rudy Gonzales, Jr., Founding Partner

Rudy has practiced personal injury law for over 43 years and has been Board-Certified in Personal Injury Law since 1998. Fewer than five percent of Texas attorneys achieve this pinnacle of professionalism, which translates to being an expert in their field. Furthermore, Rudy has tried over 50 cases to a jury and has an outstanding track record of obtaining successful verdicts for his clients.

Rudy started his trial lawyer career as a defense lawyer and owner of his own law firm with offices in Corpus Christi and San Antonio. Having built one of the first Hispanic-owned defense firms in South Texas, he devoted his trial expertise to defending corporate clients, most of whom were insured by huge insurance companies.

Now, Rudy is devoted 100% to representing clients injured or killed by the negligence of corporations and individuals whom insurers defended. Few attorneys know how to deal with these insurers better than Rudy because he represented them and their clients for 25 years.

Rudy is a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates, a professional organization dedicated to elevating professionalism and integrity in the legal profession. He has been named a Texas Super Lawyer for 18 years and received a peer-reviewed AV Preeminent® rating from Martindale-Hubbell®, a top legal industry directory nationwide.
