Buck Files Is Probably Best Attorney in East Texas

Thoroughly explained all charges in a clear and concise manner. Quickly identified options and gave me the necessary information to make a decision on the best course of action. Once, we agreed on an approach, he quickly resolved the issue to my satisfaction while answering my questions and keeping... me informed. I would highly recommend Buck and his team

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.

Excellent Service, Professional, High Integrity!

Buck Files and Brett Harrison have worked on my case over a period of more than 10 years. I could not have asked for better representation or a more professional firm. They clearly explained all the risks and potential outcomes with no guarantees, just simple plain fact. My case started off on bad gr...ound from advice I received from another attorney. Buck and Brett had to pick up the pieces and build the case for the best outcome based on the situation they were handed. While I wish I never had to go through all the years of difficult times, I can say I am glad they were on my side and advising me all the way. After the court case settled, the probation ended, and the charges had been dismissed, they then helped me to get the charges sealed. This has lifted an enormous burden off of my shoulders and will allow my life to move forward without the cloud hanging over my head the rest of my life. Buck and Brett both cared about my case, cared about my outcome, and worked hard for the good result that was achieved. I can only say thank you to both of them for their efforts!

Thankful

Mr. Files can be best described as an eccentric, professional, knowledgeable, and full of life. As the title states, I felt thankful to have his service to keep me informed throughout the duration of the trial, and was pleased with the outcome of a Deferred Plea on a Misdemeanor from a Felony. I woul...d recommend his services to anyone in honest need of both legal representation and personal growth.
