Criminal Defense 85%

I have handled more than 2,000 criminal cases, and won dozens of trials, obtained hundreds of dismissals, including 3 murders, many dozens of aggravated felonies, and 24 felony dismissals in 2009 in Dallas County alone. A record?

27 years | 2,100 cases

85%
Personal Injury 15%

After graduating from the University of Texas School of Law, I took a position with Liberty Mutual Legal and inherited a caseload of over one hundred personal injury lawsuits and workers compensation cases. In two years at Liberty I tried more than a dozen jury trials and never lost more than $1 dollar in non-economic damages, even where economic damages were awarded in three of those cases. I currently keep a few civil cases going for defendants on hourly basis, or plaintiffs with good cases.

He’s the best !

A couple years or so ago, my now ex-boyfriend was looking at $100,000 bond and possibly not being out for Christmas, well he worked a miracle and made sure he was home before Christmas Day and didn’t burn our pockets either ! I still stay in contact with him to this day and if I have any questions or... concerns he is always so honest and gives the best advice to help me no matter what ! He is very good with communication even though he is a busy and hard working man !

Best professional attorney

I was so blessed and thankful to find Mr. Gray. He travel 2 hours from where he was located to defend me. I was facing 2 years in jail where I would be away from my children and family. He manage to get my case dropped to a misdemeanor with only 8 days in jail. He’s truly a miracle worker. He not onl...y faught for me but for my husbands as well who was facing 1 years of state jail and he managed to get him of home with us and not serve a day in jail. Thank you for all your hard work he is truly one of the best and you won’t be disappointed.

A credit to his profession

I can't say enough about how fortunate I am to have met and hired Brian Gray. I went with him after firing a super expensive attorney who was very ineffective and disappointing. Brian was always accessible he listened to all my concerns and suggestions becoming very familiar with the specifics of my ...case quickly and was candid and creative with his advice creating a sense that it was a collaborative effort with a true expert to achieve justice for me and my family. When I needed him again years later he not only remembered me and my case but he was just as effective as before and got 2 felony cases dismissed without me being there. When other attorneys, probation officers, police, even judges look at my record they have expressed surprised that Ive never done prison time. I've been somewhat fortunate and very blessed, but also I found a really good attorney and that's a big deal because there are a lot of horsetraders out there. Ive met some really bs attorneys state and federal and a bad attorney is like being in a boxing match and being punched in the back of your head by your cornerman, it like your coach telling the other team your plays, it's a travesty of justice. Having someone you can trust to be a true professional, to be fearless yet prudent is truly priceless. As I said I can't say enough about Brian because he's proven himself on multiple occasions to be an exceptional attorney. When my arrest was in the Dallas morning News it mentioned that every case I've had has been dismissed (I'm sure Brian will show you the article) thats all because of Brian.

a great help

I was sitting in court waiting for hours upon hours to get in front of the judge after being left high and dry by my previous attorney when Mr. gray sat next to me and began talking to me; after a while we began discussing my case and without even being hired he began finding out information about my... case got me an appointment with the judge and informed me about my case more than my previously hired attorney!! He was awesome, very helpful very down to earth and easy to talk to. I will definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a competent attorney. - Rosa

"Brian Gray is a 2nd generation criminal defense lawyer in Dallas. That means he's seen enough for two careers and knows how to cut through courthouse BS. Brian is super intelligent with a truly impressive breath of knowledge on a broad range of subjects. That matters in any kind of trial work, but especially criminal. Brian represents his clients shoulder to shoulder the way you'd want if you were heading into battle. I think he'd actually enjoy it if fist fighting was legal in court. If you want an excellent lawyer who can't be fooled, Brian Gray is it."

"Brian Gray is a phenomenal trial lawyer. He has great passion and his knowledge of the law is most impressive. I have know Brian for years and I am always impressed with how much he cares about his clients and getting a good result. He has truly dedicated his life to helping people. Brian’s father was a legendary criminal defense attorney in Dallas, so he had the best of mentors. Brian is the type of lawyer that can find the arcane and little known laws to help his client. One on one, he is most generous in helping other lawyers and is an inspiration. I highly endorse Brian Gray."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Brian is one of the most zealous criminal defense lawyers in the courthouse. You can be assured he will investigate the facts and details and apply them to the law of an alleged offense before advising the next step an accused person should take. He is definitely not a "plea" lawyer. If there is a possible path to a dismissal or "not guilty" verdict, he will pursue it."

"Nobody fights harder for their clients than Brian Gray. He is a tireless advocate for the accused, and no prosecutor is thrilled to see him on the other side of the docket, because they know it's going to be a full-out war. He seems to get more cases dismissed in a year than some defense lawyers get in a career!"
