J. Brett Harrison

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!

I was charged with a dwi (2nd), and I hired Brett Harrison and buck files. A week before my trial date, I received a call from their office, informing me that they were able to get my case dropped. This is a very effective team of lawyers and staff that worked fervently for long hours to ...get my life back in order. They were very informative and made sure I was kept up to real time in my case proceedings. I'd like to thank Mr. Harrison and Mr files for their hard work. I'd also like to thank Mrs. Tammye Mayfield, CP, for her patience and her ability to keep me in the loop, despite my intellectual misgivings.

When I thought the chips where down and the odds where stacked against me, Mr. Files and Mr. Harrison had my back the entire way. Along with their OUTSTANDING legal team, they where able to protect my family and I's integrity. They walked us through every step of the way. Mr. Harrison was voice to th...e court when I thought I did not have one. No matter what the question or situation was they where there to intervene. They are truly a class act!

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!!!
