Mr.Bartlett is the best Professional Attorney

About 3 months, I was pulled over and went to jail for the first time in my life. I was unaware that I had a warrant out for my arrest after a traffic stop. It was one of the worst feelings of my life, just sitting down in a place knowing that you never did anything wrong and was falsely accused of s...omething that you didn’t do. When I got out of jail the next morning, I had to go to court.The judge told me that I had a harassment case and that I needed an attorney. I was so confused because I knew that I have never been in trouble or that I’ve never harassed anybody ever in my life. After reading my affidavit, I knew that i was falsely accused and that it didn’t make sense to be an harassment case. Later that day,I spoke with a different lawyer before talking with Mr.Bartlett, and the other lawyer told me to just plead guilty and do a year on probation. I told that lawyer that I was not pleading guilty to something that I didn’t do, and he kept telling me that that was my only option. He barely let me say anything and he didn’t care about what i was trying to ask him or nothing. This man just wanted some easy money and for me to plead guilty so he wouldn’t have to do anything.Soon after I left his office, a friend of mines referred me to Mr. Bartlett. After speaking with Mr. Bartlett and after he looked over my affidavit, he said that he couldn’t believe that I even went to jail for this and he assured me that he would have my case dismissed in 2 hearings. The next day, when I went to meet Mr. Bartlett in person, I just knew he was the guy because I didn’t feel the same feeling I felt when I met with the other lawyer. Mr. Bartlett had a welcoming spirit, he listened to me with an open ear and he assured me that he had everything under control and I felt that. Throughout my entire process Mr. Bartlett was always a call away whenever I had a question about something. He always responded back to me whenever I needed information. He’s not like other lawyers that just take your money, or act as if their too busy to respond when you have a question, and who really don’t care about your case. I really didn’t feel like Mr. Bartlett was just my attorney, because he assured me that everything would be fine and he was with me every step of the way as if he was a close friend showing me that he really cared about my case. He was a man of his word and he got my case dismissed in exactly 2 hearings just as he said. Attorney Bartlett is respectful, dependable, trustworthy, and honest. I am so grateful that he represented me and that he was there for me and communicated with me 100% throughout the entire process. If I could give him 10 stars I would, and if your looking for a attorney who will make you feel as if he’s with you every step of the way, who is always a man of his word, then Mr. Bartlett is your guy!!!!!!!!

Gray Gets It Done--Without the Fluff

Whereas many attorneys waste a lot of your time and bill you for it all-the-while, my experience with Gray was the opposite. Gray was informative and responsive, without beating around the bush. Retained his services and he got my charge dismissed before the hearing. He is professional and honest, an...d is clearly very good at what he does. Could not recommend him more.

Superior Attorney

When your child or loved one’s freedom is in jeopardy, you need Attorney Gray Williams Bartlett, Esq. (Attorney Gray) on your side. He embodies quality at its best. Attorney Gray is professional, knowledgeable of the law, exhibits excellent research skills and provides high quality representation. H...e is also dependable, honest, trustworthy, respectful, resourceful, aggressive, compassionate and assertive. I can only express my story and my family’s experience with Attorney Gray. Early one Saturday morning in November of 2018 began one of the most horrific days of my son and family’s life. My son was charged with vehicular homicide and DUI. Our lives changed in the blink of an eye. Gray Bartlett came HIGHLY recommended. When it’s your child and you know he or she is innocent of a crime-you’re not sure who to trust or what to do. Your emotions are everywhere-you’re upset, sad, angry, scared, drained emotionally and sometimes even numb or frozen. You don’t know if your child’s freedom will be taken away. So, what do you do? First, you pray and secure not an average or good attorney-you secure a Superior Attorney. How will you know? You can’t be 100% sure-but please believe me when I tell you; prayer, family, and a superior attorney can place light in a dark place. Lean on this recommendation. Attorney Gray met with our family on a Sunday following my family’s morning worship service. My first thought-this can’t be the norm. After talking with him and getting a sense of him being not only knowledgeable but someone who cared, we decided Attorney Gray was the one to represent our son. He worked tirelessly, answering any questions, even expressing if he failed in doing something or offended us in anyway at all to please inform him because that was not his intention. He even asked my son how he was and continuously updated us on our son’s case. His legal advice was honest and of high quality. He advised us on resources to secure in order to have an accurate account and specific details related to our case. He advised us to utilize those resources in the event our son’s case went to trial. Just hearing this was petrifying. Despite of all of this-we trusted Attorney Gray and followed his advice. In August 2019, the vehicular homicide and DUI charges were dropped. After leaving the courtroom that day, an attorney came to us and stated, “you all have a great attorney, this doesn’t happen much down here.” Attorney Gray was an awesome legal representative helping us throughout our time of need. With God, Attorney Gray and family- Justice Prevailed. Donna

Highly recommended!!

Mr. Bartlett is amazing. I hired him After being unpleased my previous representation, who were continuing to have my case drug out.. he let me know up front how hard he’d try to clear the case considering they were some pretty heavy accusations and did just that within less than a year. I had picked... up another case in the process of the ongoing on & was told I could certainly be in some added trouble but he got the job done! Definitely recommend him!!!! If another problem was to occur, he’s definitely the GO TO!

Our lifesaver!

I would like to start off by saying that Mr. Bartlett, deserves all the recognition one lawyer can have. My son, found himself in a world of trouble a couple of years ago. Something that, nobody would have ever expected to happen or happened to your family. Something that changed our lives forever. ...My brother and I met with Mr. Bartlett in his office and once we told him the details and what all had happened, he was very honest and quick to say that this would not be an easy case but he promised to give it all he had and help my family, to which he held up to that and more. Mr. Bartlett has become a friend of mine in my opinion, he goes out of his way to do extra for you and throughout this long journey that we faced the past couple of years, Mr. Bartlett always called to check on me and my daughter knowing how bad My anxiety is and to make sure that we were OK. He did more than what a basic or normal lawyer would do which to a single mother that means everything. One thing I respect about Mr. Bartlett is he is a good Christian family man, and he is always honest and upfront and will not lie to you no matter what. I knew that if he told me to do something I just needed to do it, I wouldn’t always agree with him, but in the long run he was always right. He has not been in this practice as long as he has because he doesn’t know what he’s doing, this man is phenomenal in my book. It also helps that he has a sense of humor. Me. Bartlett bought for my son when his world was crumbling down, stood up for him and did what was right. He made sure he got the help he needed and didn’t let the devil win like he was trying to ! I highly recommend Mr. Bartlett x 100, I will forever be grateful to him for how he has helped my family.
