J. Brett Harrison

Mr. Harrison & Mr Files were recommended by my civil law firm in Dallas,whom I have been doing business with since the late 90s. A partner in that firm represented me in Tyler over a civil matter that was mediated & settled in late 2014 with a proximate business in Tyler. I thought that took care of ...everything & it did on the business side. Later on my wife answered our intercom system at our front gate & it was a constable trying to execute a warrant for my arrest on felony charges in Smith County (Tyler) and I was totally confused. Obviously I contacted my Dallas Law Firm & they contacted the constable on my behalf , and asked what his warrant was for. Once my Dallas lawyer found out what it was for he did some research & recommended two specific lawyers who are partners in the Tyler Law Firm of Bain,Files,Bain, Jarrett & Harrison. I contacted Mr. Files first and arranged a meeting with him & his partner , Mr. Harrison. After the meeting they told me that the Smith County D. A. had some very serious charges against me personally . They agreed to take on my case at a specific fee that I agreed to pay. In fact they worked with me regarding when that fee had to be fully paid which I needed as they also introduced me to a bail bondsman who wrote my bonds. It was expensive in both cases, but in my own opinion, money well spent! I remained out of jail on bond; yet I had to go to Tyler every two weeks to see my pretrial probation officer. From the first day I met with Mr. Files & Mr. Harrison they both have had my best interest at heart. Over the course of a year they negotiated a deal involving paying restitution to the people involved & gave me the choice of whether I wanted to pursue that option,or proceed to trial. I chose to 100% make restitution to the damaged party instead of facing trial on felony charges. Today, September 14th , we went before the Judge & the Smith County D.A. asked the Judge in my case to sign off on the agreement reached between all parties in the case , and dismiss all felony charges involved. Judge Russell agreed to sign the papers & dismissed the case. I am more than "Thankful " to put all this behind me & continue with my life. I also want to mention Kimberely Thefford of Bain,Files, Jarrett, Bain, & Harrison Law Firm ; that gal did not let me fail to know what was going on & what it meant to my case. I give the highest rating possible to each of those individuals. Sincerely, A Grateful Client!!!
