Client

First and foremost, I just wanted to thank Mrs. Jan Fry for all the hard work she put into my cases. She is one who is very dedicated to her clients. I was facing drug and weapon charges in which I was facing a 10-99 year. Jan will work hard in preparing your case in the courtroom. Even the Judge ha...d to give her a compliment about how well she was prepared at the hearing on the motion to suppress. If I have to give her a review, I will give her 100%. I can say she take the time to call you within a 24 hr period. She is honest and will provide you with a right judgment call with all the experience she has over 30 years. I highly genuinely recommend her services to anyone. She will get back with you in a timely matter if she not stuck in court. She will fight for you by the grace of God. So if anyone of you is reading this, please take my word I am a free man because of Mrs. Fry.

Drug Case - Dismissed

Jan Fry has been my criminal defense lawyer for more than 15 years. Words cannot express how grateful and indebted I am to this talented lawyer. I recently was arrested for possession of marijuana in excess of 900lbs with a case that lasted more than 4years. I was at the wrong place at the wrong t...ime and Jan helped deliver that message to the prosecutor and my case was dismissed. She never once gave up or made me feel like we didnt have hope. More than a lawyer, she treats her clients like family and has always made me feel comfortable and assured that she would do her best to prove my innocence. If your are seeking a lawyer that knows the law, is good at proving it and cares about the outcome and the effect it will have on your family, she is the lawyer for you. She is more than just my lawyer, she is family. Jan Fry.... we did it!

THEY OFFERED ME 25 YEARS AND JAN L. FRY, GOT MY CASE DISMISSED

After I was arrested and taken to jail she came and seen me about 2 days later, and we talked about the case, I was charged with 25kgs. of narcotics my bail was over 4 million dollars she told me that they arrested me without probable cause and basically jumped the gun on the arrest, and that we coul...d beat it on a motion to suppress, she never once changed her story on the way that she thought that she could beat the case, she always told me that she felt good about the case. After about the 3rd time going to court they offered me 25 years mind you this was my first time ever being arrested so this was a big shock to a person who has never gone to jail, she told me that she still felt good about the case and that it would take some time because it was a big case. So fast forward thru more resets about 10 months we get to the suppression hearing and she does her stuff her magic, pulls some very good cases for my case. The judge told us that we would hear the decision the next day, so I go back the next day, and Jan is smiling from ear to ear that's when I new that we won, and when the judge said it, it was a big sigh of relief. I was out that night to see my knew born, I thank God for Jan L. Fry. and her knowledge of the law and her ability to delivery it. She is a seasoned and determined lawyer, I would recommend her to my children. And she is very affordable, she actually cares, and she loves winning!!!!! Go Jan............ My family appreciates and loves you. Thank You again for your commitment.

Jan Fry a trustworthy and hard working lawyer. Case DISMISSED!

In July 2011, I was on my way to my hometown to visit family when we were pulled over by police. They claimed it was due to a “defective tail light”. Once pulled over they searched the car and found 4 pounds of marijuana. I went to jail and was bonded out. I found a lawyer whom took my case but he wa...s horrible. He would never return my calls, give me updates, try to find evidence if we were rightfully pulled over and he just gave me the run around. He was basically all talk and was trying to sell me a million dollar dream he knew he couldn’t fulfill. He was close friends with the prosecutor and he told me that the best deal they could give me was deferred adjudication or 2 years state jail. He was pressuring me in to taking deferred adjudication and was trying to convince me that if I went on trial they would not offer me that option and just give me jail time. My future is VERY important, regardless of my mistake, so I fired him and hired Jan Fry. Immediately she showed how dedicated she was to her career. She investigated and requested all the evidence. She never promised me anything she knew she couldn’t deliver. She kept very open communication with me and showed how much she sincerely cared. She found that the tail light the police claimed to be defective was just an extra cosmetic on the vehicle and that the main tail lights worked properly. After all her hard work my case was DISMISSED! Jan Fry literally saved my future and I am so grateful that I hired her to represent me. I would recommend her to EVERYONE. She is someone you can really trust and I can never thank her enough.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 1996.

Fully Probated Suspension issued in TX, 1996

Jan’s comment:

“This was NOT a complaint from a client.”
