Awesome attorney and awesome staff!

I picked up a case for a 2nd degree Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon around July 2016. My possible sentence was 2-20 years. I went to the Harrell Law Firm and I retained her to represent me on my case. I never went to Court once and she got my case dismissed. Her staff is awesome. The one... person who I talked to the most and kept me updated was Teresa, wonderful person. If you need any help with a case, Ms. Harrell is the one you want to represent you. F.L. of Cameron.

She exceeded my expectations and my case was dismissed!

"I am a Non-Commissioned Officer in the U.S. Army. I was falsely accused and arrested on a felony assault against a family member. I retained Mary Beth Harrell because of her superior client reviews. I can say that she not only met but exceeded all of my expectations. Ms. Harrell along with her p...aralegals acted promptly, effectively, and ensured that I was well informed on all aspects of my case. I am happy to say that Ms. Harrell was able to get my felony charge completely dismissed and ensured that my 18 year military career would not be ruined due to this false charge. I highly stand behind recommending the Harrell Law Firm to anyone facing any type of criminal charge. She will always go the extra mile for her clients." RF of Coryell County.

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.

Awesome Lawyer

Mary Beth Harrell is an awesome lawyer. She exudes courtroom confidence that comes from being well-prepared. In my case I was charged with a Burglary of a Habitation with Intent to Commit Sexual Assault. The odds were stacked against me because of my 1987 Federal felony conviction for Rape and I was ...still on parole for that case. The police, detectives, prosecutor and his staff concluded I was guilty of the new charge when I was truly innocent. Mary Beth Harrell proved with her expertise in law and patience that victory can be achieved, even against the odds. Because of her unwavering commitment to my case, one year later my case was dismissed. Mary Beth Harrell and her staff exemplify professionalism and dedication. Attorney Mary Beth Harrell is outstanding. So if you are looking for an attorney that will give you 100% and most of all "keep it real" with you, then there is none better.

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.
