Took Care of Everything and Kept Me Out of Jail!

"I would like to thank Ms. Harrell and her team for the services she provided. She made this difficult time in my life practically pain free. I was charged with a D.W.I and she kept me legal to drive until she got me my occupational license. It was nice to leave the courtroom with my occupational li...cense when my driver's license was suspended a few minutes prior!! She cut down my fine triple the amount. She kept me out of jail and she knocked out my ALR hearing and my D.W.I with one Court date months after my incident happened. I want to thank Ms. Harrell and her legal assistants as well" - MMH

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.

Expeditious and steadfast

Mary Beth is an awesome attorney.I wasbeing charged for assault to a family member after fighting with my cheating husband. Although I was wrong for what I did, she proved to the DA that I did not deserve the punishment that I was facing. Instead of paying a fine and potentially facing jail time. My ...case was dismissed after I attended the required classes. The entire process was quick and I did not have to set foot in the court house. She and her staff took care of everything and made sure that I had ample time to complete my course and they also kept me aware of what was going on. She allowed me to make payments instead of making the whole payment at once. If I had to choose between her and any other lawyer in Killeen I would choose her.

Not impressed

I consulted with and hired Ms. Harrell as my husband's personal attorney. We are not from in town and many positive things we said before we hired her. She really seemed to take the time to listen during the consultation, answered some questions, and I felt good about hiring her. After the money was ...paid to retain her, she suddenly didn't seem so helpful and things turned out much differently than what was said. I very much feel that she dropped the ball and seemed uninterested in our case after she was paid (and she was not cheap either). I'm not sure of this was because we were from further away or what the issue was, but I was VERY disappointed and very upset. Even when I had specific concerns, I was unable to speak with her directly and had to speak with the secretary. I'm glad our ordeal is over with now, but I very much wish I would have hired someone else from the start.

Dear Anonymous, Please call my office immediately at 254-680-4655 so we can discuss your experience with my office and the disposition of your husband's case. I am very concerned about your complaint and this is definitely not a standard of service our clients have come to expect from us so I would like to speak to you directly. Thank you, Mary Beth Harrell
