Veronica Gonzales was raised in San Marcos, Texas, but upon graduation from law school in 1991, moved to McAllen and made it her home. She began practicing law at Jarvis & Kittleman, P.C. where she became a partner after only four years. She then joined some of her partners to form Kittleman, Thomas, Ramirez & Gonzales, L.L.P.

She has successfully litigated cases on both sides of the docket and while her practice consists of primarily defense work in civil and commercial litigation, she also practices in the areas of family and employment law and is a licensed mediator. Throughout her legal career, Veronica has published numerous papers and lectured on various topics, including venue, discovery, premises liability, sexual harassment and ethics.
Veronica graduated cum laude from Southwest Texas State University in 1986 with a Bachelors of Arts degree in English and Spanish and enrolled in the University of Texas School of Law from which she obtained her juris doctorate in 1991.
