J. Brett Harrison

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!

I was charged with a DWI, and needed the best representation. Mr. Harrison and Mr. Files fees are straight forward and weren't outrageously expensive. They were very clear that they would go above and beyond to get the best outcome of my case, which they succeeded in doing for me. The best decisio...n I could've made during this terrible time was choosing them as my attorney's. Aside from legal counseling, they were personal counsellors. Everyone at their office cares about you and will help you with anything, and are very easy to get in contact with! I am so thankful for these people and that I got to have them as my representation!

Our son was recently charged by his school with a computer crime, suspended and the matter was pursued by the sheriff's office which filed a complaint. Mr. Harrison met with us on short notice and through a series of interviews and phone calls, the authorities have determined that no further action i...s needed and the matter has been dropped. During this whole ordeal, Mr. Harrison and his assistant Carrie, were professional, courteous and I really felt like they cared about our situation. I hope that I have no further need for their services, but would recommend them to anyone who needs honest, sound, understanding legal assistance.

I recently hired Mr. Harrison to represent me in a parole violation case in Smith County. He and Kimberly made my ordeal as bearable as possible and thanks to them I was in and out of the jail in just 3 days. This is unbelievable fast, especially for Smith County. I had my probation reinstated wit...h no additional time, which is also amazing. I highly recommend them.

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!!!
