About Joe Gamez
Joe A. Gamez grew up on the west side of San Antonio and saw firsthand how his community suffered without adequate legal representation. That experience shaped his commitment to justice. He attended San Antonio College, the University of Texas at Austin, and St. Mary's University School of Law. Early in his career he worked at the Brooks County Attorney's Office before entering private practice.
Motivated by what he saw as ongoing inequities in Texas's healthcare and education systems, he ran for and won a term in the Texas Legislature in the early 1980s. After returning to full-time private practice, his firm took on a personal injury focus. A personal experience deepened that commitment: when his daughter was 4, she and his wife were in a car accident that left his daughter's face severely injured, and the insurance claims process proved grueling even for an attorney. Gamez Law Firm now operates 7 offices across Texas and gives every client their attorney's cellphone number.
Gamez has been recognized by Super Lawyers (2020-2021), the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum (2021), and the Million Dollar Advocates Forum (2021). He has served on the boards of the Texas Trial Lawyers Association, St. Mary's Hispanic Law Alumni Association, and St. Mary's Law School Board of Visitors. He has also established a scholarship endowment at St. Mary's Law School.
Proven verdicts and settlements at Joe A. Gamez Law Firm
These results are credited to Joe A. Gamez Law Firm. A result appears under an attorney's own name only when a published source names them as counsel on the case.
A Bexar County jury awarded Brenda Steele $1,052,500 after finding a Martin Marietta employee responsible for a 2018 collision in a Walmart parking lot that left Steele needing years of spine treatment. Her adult daughter, a passenger in the car, received a separate and far smaller award for her own injuries. The trial court had removed the question of Steele's own possible fault from the jury by directed verdict before the case went to the jury. In April 2026, the Fourth Court of Appeals reversed that ruling and sent the case back for a new trial, holding the jury should have decided whether Steele shared any responsibility for the crash. Motions for rehearing are pending, so the reversal is not yet final and the verdict does not currently stand.
