Attorney Information
Overview
Steve Gordon is a highly respected attorney at the Houston-based Gordon & Elias, LLP, where he specializes in personal injury cases, with a particular focus on maritime law, the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA), and truck accidents. Steve is well-known for his work representing injured railroad workers and offshore employees, as well as those hurt in commercial trucking accidents.
“In my years of practice, I have been honored to represent people who, without my help, would have been devastated by the lack of concern from companies to the needs of working families that have been affected by an injury. The greed of companies, be they railroad companies, maritime companies, or insurance companies inevitably overrides their sense of justice that should be present when someone gets hurt. At Gordon & Elias, LLP, we understand what it is like to lose the income of the "bread winner" in the family, or, even worse, to lose the life of a loved one at the hands of a negligent party. We will be "like family" throughout the entire process. You can trust us.”
Steve earned his law degree from South Texas College of Law in 1985 and has since built a distinguished legal career. He has been recognized by Super Lawyers for his expertise in personal injury law, being selected in multiple years, including 2011, 2012, 2017, and 2018. His dedication to clients and legal acumen has earned him a reputation as a leading attorney in Houston, Texas.
Steven J. Gordon is licensed to practice law in Texas and the District of Columbia. He is also admitted to practice in multiple U.S. District Courts, including those in Texas. His firm's focus on maritime injuries, trucking accidents, and FELA-related litigation has made him a trusted figure for clients seeking legal recourse in the face of devastating injuries.
Steve's practice areas extend to wrongful death cases, workplace injuries, and a wide array of personal injury claims, including slip and fall accidents, motorcycle accidents, and product liability cases.
