Against the odds.

On my initial consultation, Mr. Files was very candid about the chances for leniency in my DWI charge. Although this was my first ever offense, the specifics surrounding my case did not lend themselves to a very positive outcome. This left me very disheartened. However, determined to take the shot, h...e and his team fought for me to be given a pre-trial diversion. The day before my court date, he called me personally, excited to give me the good news that he had been successful. Mr Files and his team had a well organized plan of attack for dealing with my case from the start. It was comforting to be able to follow this plan of action knowing I was actively doing some little part to help the outlook. In the end he was able to secure my pre-trial diversion, in a very unlikely situation. I can only hope that by being a positive example during my probation period, I will open the door for him to be successful and obtain more such verdicts for others like myself.

Great Attorney

I hired Mr. Files to be my attorney for my DWI case. Mr. Files and his team worked very hard and did an excellent job to get me the best outcome in my case. Mr. Files truly cares about his clients. I would hire him again and highly recommend him

lawyer review - Buck Files

My wife and I hired Mr. Files for representation for a DWI case. Instead of only looking at the legal implications of my case, Buck was as much concerned about myself and family. He provided council to help a person, his wife and children thru a difficult time. This included my personal welfare (hea...lth) as well as my marriage, job and position in our community - all the while providing peace of mind to my family and employer. I will forever be indebted to Mr. Files for not only his legal expertise but also for the way he treated me. He is an outstanding lawyer (his reputation speaks for itself) but above all an outstanding, compassionate person.

I'd never recommend

Made my husband cop out to a 2nd offense dwi when he wasnt even driving. He was in a convenience store paying for gas. A cop pulled up when he was walking to the vehicle to pump gas...... he had keys in his pockets. They made my husband take classes and blow in a breathalyzer only for him to accept a... conviction.... he paid $4000..... as well as pre trial probation officer, the smart stop breathalyzer, counseling fees on top of $4000 to the lawyer. My husband had to keep telling them his name and they didn't believe it was him when he would tell him it was him!!! I don't refer them to anyone.
