Mrs.

We hired Mr. Files and Harrison a couple of years ago. From the start him and his team did everything in their power to make me feel at ease! I ended up having my case dismissed because of their tireless efforts. The best asset they have is their paralegal, Kimberly. Anytime I had a question she emai...led me back within a couple hours and when I stressed (which was often) about the case she reassured me they were working hard on my case. They sat with me when I had to see the judge and they made sure I had a low bail. Until the very end they were confident and made this experience a pleasure. Professional, hardworking, and inexpensive. Highly recommended.

Real lifesaver

My husband found himself in a situation of some horrendous accusations being made. Knowing they were false we started looking for a criminal defense attorney to begin our case to fight them. After speaking to a couple other attorneys, we went to see Buck. The moment we walked in, we felt an immediate... difference. Before he even discussed the case he spent time to get to know us as people. After hearing our story he made one phone call and confirmed for free what other attorneys were wanting over 5k to do. We hired him on the spot. Kimberly was great, they got right to work, calling us the next day to say case was actually inactive/closed & were wanting to refund our retainer. Mr Files stated he made 2 calls that took less than 5 minutes & we should go celebrate!

Motion(s) For Non-Disclosure

Mr. Files represented me in filing a Motion For Non-disclosure with respect to separate courts, misdemeanor and felony. He was successful in making the case to the court and the judge(s) subsequently signed the order(s) on my behalf. You may think you cannot afford Buck Files, but let me tell you f...rom personal experience using a "cheaper" attorney years ago....you CANNOT afford not to hire Mr. Files' office. He's not a miracle worker nor claims to be, but he is highly respected by the court(s). All you have to do is hang out in the court room and watch this man interact with prosecutors and court staff. I would also like to add that Tammy and Kimberly, who work for the law office, are top-notch, and highly motivated individuals. They don't just leave the office at the end of the day and forget about your case. I know personally, that Tammy worked on my case the night before my court date. One more thing, Brett Harrison is another very professional and skilled attorney in this office. He was able to successfully present a motion before the court to early terminate probation by two years. Again, do not expect miracles, but do expect to get the best representation possible in Smith County, Texas when hiring Buck Files or anyone of his fellow partners.

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.
