Grant Sheiner was recommended to me by a friend when I found myself needing an Attorney. I was being charged with a felony and would soon be arrested. I was terrified and at a loss as to what to do. I contacted Grant. During our conversation, Grant was able to calm me down and let me know he would be...

I can't say enough good things about this firm, we had no idea what to do or how to proceed, the firm stepped in and lead us through a very difficult time, explaining the legal process and always being responsive to all our needs and questions, and ultimately was able to get the charges dismissed.

"Grant Scheiner was my mentor when I attended the Trial College. He is an exceptional lawyer and he taught me a great deal during the seminar. I am still putting into practice all of the cross-examination tactics he showed me! I am deeply appreciative of Grant Scheiner's dedication to the field of criminal defense and would recommend him to anyone who needs a criminal defense attorney."
"Grant Scheiner is one of the sharpest lawyers I know. He is incredibly knowledgeable, persistent, and relentless on behalf of his clients. He is a leader in the criminal defense community and I have sought his advice before on various issues and he has never led me astray. I would hire Grant if I were in trouble. He will take good care of you and I highly recommend him."
"Grant is a fantastic lawyer and great person. He has a great presence in the courtroom and juries love him for his no-nonsense, down to earth style. I have known Grant for over 10 years now and he is the cream of the crop. I have heard him described as "scary smart" and he is! An asset to the defense bar and if you are in trouble in Houston, call Grant!"
"Grant is a frequent lecturer for the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association (TCDLA) and is considered light years ahead of his peers. He was elected to the Board of Directors and recently to the Officer Position of Secretary in TCDLA. It is only a matter of time before Grant moves up the Officer chain to the position of President of TCDLA. TCDLA is the largest State-wide Defense Attorney's Association in the Nation. Grant recently gave a class to West Texas Attorneys in Lubbock on the subject of Cross Examination. His course was excellent. I've found Grant to be genuinely caring for his clients. He is one of the few attorneys who will really listen to his clients. It has been a privilege knowing Grant and seeking his advice. When Grant speaks, you listen."
"Grant knows a ton about DWI and DUI especially. As a former prosecutor I knew that when he brought me an issue on a case, I needed to listen. He knows his stuff and he fights hard for his clients."
"Grant is one of the best DWI attorneys I know. He not only represents clients but teaches at DWI seminars to try and make the rest of us better. Grant is your man for DWIs."

"I have known Grant and worked professionally with him for more than 20 years. If I were to pick someone I would identify as the best attorney I've ever seen in my 20+ years of practice, It would be Grant. If you or a loved one are in a difficult position, he is the one to have on your side."

I have also observed him teaching young criminal defense lawyers the very trial advocacy skills that make him so effective in the courtroom. I wouldn't hesitate to refer any type of criminal case to Grant. He is truly a great advocate for his clients."
"Grant carries HUGE respect in the criminal defense community. I recently had the good fortune of spending 5 days with him at a criminal defense law seminar where he was one of the faculty members.

You simply cannot go wrong with Grant as your attorney!"
