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!

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.

Beyond Excellent...Outstanding and Extraordinary!! 6 Stars if Possible!

Buck Files and Brett Harrison were the attorneys for my wife and me. We were brought up on charges that were spurious at best. The charges would have cost me my job and thrust our family into bankruptcy and completely devastated us. Our attorneys went after the charges head-on and got them to not on...ly drop the charges against us but also expunge our records. As a result, our family is secure, my job has resumed and we are stronger than ever. They stayed in touch with us consistently throughout the process. While the justice system works slow, our attorneys pushed and pushed with the right amount of pressure to get our case dropped. With an overwhelming show of forceful evidence, there was nothing the DA could do but back down. If you want an attorney who will go to the mat for you and not let up until you win, you have found them. If you want an attorney that will strike fear in the hearts of everyone, look no further than Bain, Files, Harrison, & Bain. We won't be disappointed! We owe our lives to these men. I will be forever grateful.

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.
