SHE SAVED MY CAREER

When I pulled up at Mrs. Harrell's office it was actually after business hours. I believe that she saw the stressed looked on my face and invited me inside. Just days prior I was arrested and charged with assault. Although I knew that the incident was definitely self-defense my career was still in je...opardy because I was DA Selected for Drill Sergeant. When chosen for a special duty assignment such as this you cannot have a domestic charge of any kind. I sat down with Mrs. Harrell and told her what happened and how I was actually the one attacked which eventually forced me to defend myself. After I finished giving her all the details she agreed to take my case. I was arrested in September and my case was dismissed by November. Had I not retained her, I wouldn't have gotten a pre-trial date until the end of January. I would have lost my special duty assignment and possibly received punishment from my command that could have ended my career. With the downsizing of the Army, Soldiers MUST put themselves in a position to set themselves ahead of their peers. This is why I can honestly say that she saved my career and I would recommend her services to anyone. Her paralegal Ms. Teresa was extremely helpful in getting me documents and providing me with updates. I truly appreciate her honesty and professionalism. What I will remember most is Mrs. Harrell telling me to stop worrying because that was her job as my attorney. I took that advice and it lifted a tremendous amount of stress off my mind. I report to Drill Sergeant school in March 2015.

criminal case dismal

Got results fast, once she received the payment and the case she stayed to attempt to get my issue resolved. Cost was a little higher then I expected, find a lawyer 500.00 cheaper but who to say i would've gotten the same results. I received great customer service and basically got what I was hoping ...for on my case. My only con is that I didn't get to speak to Mrs.Mary personally and the price was a little steep, overall I would still recommend her services.

Peace of Mind

I was facing a DWI charge and Mrs. Harrell got it dismissed. Mrs. Harrell's actions prevented a potential criminal conviction from blemishing my military career. She provided me with a greater peace of mind and understanding of the circumstances surrounding my incident. I highly recommend the profess...ionalism and dedication of her practice to anyone in a similar situation.

Impressive Attorney

I highly recommend Mary Beth Harrell. I first had the opportunity to meet Mary Beth when I served on a jury trial in April 2013. Mary Beth was defending a man charged with continuous sexual assault of a child, and two more felony counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child. We the jury found him N...OT guilty on all three charges. I was very impressed by Mary Beth and told all my family and friends, ''If I ever need an attorney, I will certainly use Mary Beth Harrell" In June of 2013 I found myself in need of an attorney for my son. He was arrested for the felony charge of Burglary of a Habitation. He could have been sentenced to 20 years in prison. I didn't hesitate to call Mary Beth. She kept him out of prison and he was not convicted of the felony. She was able to get him the help he needed. He got a job and probation. I will forever be grateful for all her and her legal assistants' hard work. Her legal assistants Marina and Teresa were very professional, knowledgeable, and very helpful.
