Creative and Candid

I consulted three attorneys in Brazos County and hired Jay because he was professional, approachable, and had creative ideas to help my case. Jay was always candid with me and has been accessible the entire way. I'm more than happy with my results and wouldn't hesitate to refer him!

He's not just a lawyer

I was referred to Jay over 12 years ago due to a poor decision involving a firearm. As I quickly learned a good legal defense does not come instantly, but I was told from day one by Jay that this was a process and could take some time. I am not a patient person, and I am a very strong willed person. ...Jay took the time to explain all the details, good and bad there was no sugar coating, and I knew from the first time I met him that he was the one I needed on my side. He is not scared to go above and beyond and he truly works for you! Multiple times I wanted things question and he would say these are the way this could go one of two ways are you willing to accept the later of the two? And if my hard headed self said yes Jay would ask it at court, he is not scared to keep everyone happy on the other side. He works for you and only you! He will turn heads in the court room if need be. He has tons of courtroom experience and unlike other attorneys I consulted is willing to go above and beyond and not try to convince you to accept the first deal they offer you. I was offered many deals and accrued a extra misdemeanor charge by refusing a plea deal. None of which mattered in the end since they all got dismissed, thanks to a amazing legal defense! Jay is not a 9-5 Lawyer many times I had a question a 7pm on a Saturday and would get a response at least by text if not a phone call that very night! He is a busy man because he really cares about his cases and I don't feel I just hired a attorney I feel in my heart I gained a true Friend throughout the entire experience! God Bless you Jay and me and my family cannot ever thank you enough for all your hard work and caring style.

Attorney Jay Granberry

My family hired jay to help me deal with numerous cases that I got caught up in while attending college, he was always available and answered all my questions, he did a great job with my cases, considering what I was looking at and helped me with legal trouble and also deal with my driver liecens. He... not only communicated with me but my family as well, he even would communicate with me out of office hours. He is a great attorney and will work hard for you.

Excellent Service

I hired Jay to take care of a ticket that I received from a College Station police officer .. As soon as I spoke with him in his office he started on my case and kept me inform about the status of the case and what I needed to do to get this ticket taken care of ... I would recommend him to anyone wh...o needs criminal representation.. Thank You

Best of the best!

I had went to the courthouse the day before my court date to see what all I needed to bring, and was asked if I was going to represent myself. My stomach was in knots because I had talked to a lawyer months before and he informed me that I did not need a lawyer. I called a good friend of mine from B...ryan and she recommended Jay. I called that day and told him about my situation and that court was tomorrow- he immediately began working his magic and made me feel at ease. Mr. Granberry consistently provided me with quick and professional assistance throughout the whole case and I never was left wondering what was going on or the status of my case. My ticket was dismissed and I could not be more thankful for Mr. Granberry- amazing is an understatement!
