It’s been a few years since I reached out to Jay Granberry through the recommendation from my Grandmother. I had 2 tickets against me for a DUI in the parking lot at Texas A&M along with a possession charge from marijuana. Not only was Mr. Granberry extremely professional with guiding me out of t...rouble he was able to drop both charges from my record and I did little to nothing other than taking some pee tests and showing up to court 2 days without even having to speak to anyone other than him. As I said it’s been a few years since he helped me with my case but there has been many opportunities since that I didn’t miss out on that make me extremely grateful for his ability to clear me of those charges. Would definitively recommend Mr. Granberry for anyone in similar trouble with the law and thank you sir for helping me keep a clean record.

Fantastic Defense

3 years ago, I was accused of DWI and felt helpless. Jay was highly recommended by a lawyer who works at the college where I taught. From my first meeting with him he inspired confidence that my life wasn't over and was very patient with my constant questions and concern. He said we had nothing t...o risk going to trial, so we did. In just our 2nd day of court I was given a NOT GUILTY by the jury! Jay was extremely impressive and showed professionally how much the DA's case came up short. I walked out of the courtroom and experienced such tremendous relief! I can't thank him enough for the dedicated effort he gave my case and I'm happy to tell that to anyone.

Hard Worker and Excellent Results

Mr. Jay Granberry was very helpful and efficient during the entire time we went through the trial process. He very clearly told me about my options and what he believed could be achieved through each avenue of the legal system. He gave very professional recommendations and guided me through the proce...ss. When I began this, I wasn't sure how it was going to end but Mr. Granberry was the perfect lawyer to help me with this situation. With his help, I was able to be declared not guilty in my DWI charge. I would highly recommend him to any other person who is in a similar situation, because he is the lawyer for you.

The best you could ask for

I hired Jay almost 2 years ago after a DWI arrest and it was the best choice I could of made! Not only did he give me confidence about my case, but he made me feel as if my life was not over after getting that ticket. He was with me every step of the way and is great at communicating. Any questions t...hat I had or if I just wanted to check up on things, he was always reachable and never hesitated on helping me in anyway he could. He fought for me and we ended up getting a deal that I was worried wouldn't be possible and for that I could not thank him enough. Not only is he a great lawyer but an even better person who made me feel that this ticket was just a little bump in the road and he helped me move past it!

A trial champion in your corner!

I had the privilege of having Jay Granberry represent me in a case a few years ago. With a DWI charge, in a county with a reputation for zero tolerance on alcohol arrests, I wasn't sure who to turn to. Mr. Granberry was recommended to us by several lawyers in the area as the best attorney for tough... cases. Jay is honest, straightforward, tough, dedicated, highly intelligent, and most importantly, experienced. He explained the facts, my options, chances of winning in trial, and gave me back my hope, the first day in his office. The prosecutors offered plea deals, Mr. Granberry advised we could do better than what they offered. So we took the case to trial where, day after day, he persistently fought my case with untiring passion and enthusiasm. Jay won us a not guilty verdict! Which, in an alcohol tough court was the talk of the courthouse. Being young and having a DWI on my record would have seriously stunted my career options and future. Mr. Granberry succeeded in preventing this incident from tarnishing my future, and for that I will always be grateful. If you need a defense attorney, Jay Granberry is THE guy for you. He's a champion in your corner!
