I was initially put on a payment plan it took me 4 weeks to pay but Mr. Harrelson started working immediately. I have a criminal history and I am really doing my best to never look back. He is very reassuring and has empathy for his his clients. Something like the All-State man. He always picks up t...he phone and let's you know whats going on. As far as attorneys go he's the one to go with.

Sorry Disappointing “Lawyer”

I do not recommend him, he says he’s going to do something & DON’T I Been with him for SEVEN MONTHS & he has yet to even get in a court for me! He’s quick to answer the phone when he know it’s his pay day, but goes missing every other day. I don’t supposed to be in jail & he’s not even fighting the w...ay he supposed to for me. Once again I don’t recommend him, if you reading this SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!

"A Lie travels half way around the world while the truth is putting its shoes on" Here is the truth. I was this client's 3rd Attorney. It's true that he was my client for almost 7 months, but why would he stay with me for 7 months? Here is why. This client had been to prison (no big deal), he accepted 10 years straight probation before he hired me. When he accepted this probation, the judge stated that he didn't want to see him in his court anymore. Subsequently when he hired me, he stated his previous 2 attorneys didn't attempt to get him a bond. I filed the Motion immediately. The client was charged with Arson less than a year after accepting probation for climbing through a doggie dog with a gas can threating to burn his girlfriends house down. He also had a felony Assault on a Peace Officer and a Felony Resisting Arrest. I got the Arson reduced to a Burglary so that his ex-girlfriend could sign an affidavit. The Felony Assault was dismissed and the Felony Resisting was reduced to a Misdemeanor. He was being offered 15 years in prison and so far I had talked them down to five. He stated he didn't hire me to fight his cases, he only hired me to get him a bond and he would take the Burglary charge to trial. I asked, how do we explain the gas, matches and the fire. He got angry, fired me and had someone post this review because he is in jail. I talked to the judge 5 different times and even sent another attorney from my firm to talk to the judge. The Judge told everyone that would listen that he would NOT give this client a bond. His mother, brother and girlfriend begged me to remain on his cases due to the work I had put in, but due to posting negative reviews for the world to see and other actions attempting to defame me, I refused to remain his attorney. I also refunded some his money so that he could hire someone else but no good deed goes unpunished.

Posted by Sad Shay | December 07, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

I feel ripped off!

About 4 weeks ago, I paid Mr. Harrelson in FULL to handle some traffic tickets. Since then, I have not heard from him or anyone in his office. I explained my sense of urgency but apparently that didn't matter. Last I checked, tickets didn't take this long to resolve. I've called, emailed and left nu...merous messages to no avail. How disappointing. A simple phone call goes a long way. I wouldn't recommend this attorney to anyone. Let's see if the Bar Association will help me get my money back.

Sad Shay failed to mention several items in her review. (1) that these tickets were more than 11 years old. (2) She had hired a previous attorney that got off of her case. (3) Sad Shay's card was initially declined and when we received a payment it was May 21st which was 3 weeks ago not 4 weeks. If you consider mail time, by the time the court notified my firm that the bonds would not be accepted some time had lapsed. I had to personally appear in court in order to get the bonds posted since they could not reach the previous attorney. Sad Shay sat on these tickets for more than 11 years but expected the warrants to be lifted overnight without disclosing all of the information. We only charged her $350 for 4 tickets with warrants which is far below market rate. Also, one of these tickets were in Waskom, Texas (last Texas city before reaching Shreveport & my office is in Dallas). Sad Shay did not spend a night a jail and with the exception of the Waskom ticket, 3 of the 4 citations will be dismissed.
