Probation violation reversal

I would have to the rating should be 5.0 I have never laid eyes on him and he handled my case. I call him my personal angel. He was referred to me and I had a conversation. He told me his fees and expectations. Prices are affordable and reasonable. He texted me and called and said it was handled... with the judge and my son was going to be released and it was as nothing happened as far as his probation. He was not able to be there for release but called the next day to make sure he was out. Very professional and works swiftly. Although I pray we never need him again but if you looking for someone honest and who works for you please call him. I owe him a big hug.

Hind sight is 20/20

I'm typically not the person to write a review. Generally I would only leave a star rating. However, this time I felt compelled to post this review. I contracted Mr Harrelson 05/24 for a total of 5 traffic citations (1 with the Forney Municipal, and 4 with Mesquite Municipal Courts). Back story.... Last year I began the journey of correcting my history of warrants which has caused the loss of employment opportunities in my occupational field of choice. Now prior to contacting Mr Harrelson. I had successfully cleaned up over 15 warrants personally with Dallas Municipal and 2 separate Dallas County Courts. Leaving the 5 warrants issued by Forney and Mesquite to handle. In 07/24 I completed the payment plan that was established with Mr Harrelson so that he could begin to work on my warrants. Even though communication with Mr Harrelson was little to none. Ms Coretta made certain that I stayed informed of the progress. Initial courts for both municipalities where set and missed by Mr Harrelson for extenuating circumstances. Which I perfectly understood and didn't press or become irate about. However I managed to definitely lose 2 opportunities because the initial misses (which later I believe turned into neglect because of the concluded amount time it took for him to adjudicate my cases) Ultimately he did not concluded my warrants until 12/24 (Forney) and 01/25 (Mesquite). The day that he finally sent the last official court document for Mesquite. He called me, at which time I was at a grocery and was unable to read over documents. He advised that he was calling because Ms Coretta probably informed him that the dollar amount he agreed to on my behalf would not be accepted by me. He advised that generally when represents people in Mesquite. He would receive 30 to 40% reduction in fine amounts for his clients to pay. Which I would have been fine with. However once I was able to review the documents, and based on my calculations. He was only able to negotiate a 16% total reduction, and going even further he advised that if the judgement didn't suffice I could go to open docket for Mesquite and plead my case on my own. When all was said and done. This entire situation left me thinking that I should have handled this on my own. Thanks for doing what I probably could have done for myself without having to pay you $400.

If I could leave 0stars I would

I heard him on the radio for tickets I needed to be resolved for my boyfriend. My boyfriend called and set up a payment plan and was told as soon as paid he would complete the tickets. Once they were paid we waited months for a response and when he finally answered he was rude and entitled . He did n...ot offer results and he still hasn’t ,

Highly Recommended

Amazing attorney! Lloyd is a top notch attorney. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He kept me updated on any changes to my son's case and achieved the best possible outcome for him. I’m extremely grateful for all of his help.

Hands down, best lawyer in town!

In October 2021 I got arrested for a warrant I didn’t know I had which turned out to be a felony 2nd degree. Someone I was in there with recommended Loyd as a great attitude. When I got released I saved his number until I needed it. Fast forward to Nov. 2022 I get my first court date and called Loyd ...at 9pm and he answered. I explained my situation and wanted me to come in the following day to discuss everything. He placed me on a payment plan that was affordable me. Despite hitting a few rough patches and couldn’t make payment on time he continued to work my case and keep me updated every chance he got. The DA was looking at some prison time but given Loyd’s experience he was able to get my case down to a Class A Misdemeanor with 1 year probation. After probation that charge could be removed from my record. When he says you’re not going to jail that man means it and you will be able to be right at home with your family comfortably knowing you have Loyd as your attorney!! Thank you so much!
