Excellent / Ace Attorney - Smart, Helpful, Caring and Strong

This is our story: A member of our family was involved in open investigation for a very serious alleged matter. Outmatched, undermanned and at an extreme disadvantage we carefully considered our options and decided it best to seek and retain an attorney to represent us. After several inquiries to... other firms it became clearly apparent that Mr. Jay Granberry and his firm was the best selection for our case and legal guidance. We 1st made contact with Jay through a phone call to briefly discuss the matter and then arranged to meet in person in order to review the case in detail. Mr. Granberry was honest, understanding, focused, discovered our best defense strategy and we retained his representation immediately. To be clear, in our opinion Jay Granberry is a lawyer's lawyer. He is not only caring but confident, extremely intelligent, understands the legal system, trends and angles of approach for case and trial law. After a lengthy battle which not only adversely affected our families safety, health and life but potentially may have seriously jeopardized our future and freedom, we emerged victorious. Anytime a question arose, a new dynamic was introduced into the case or we needed immediate assistance; Jay and his firm was promptly available to assist like a field general's office at war. In closing, not all attorneys are cut from the same cloth. Mr. Jay Granberry is simply the best we could have retained. He actually cares about you as a human being and works hard to help those in need. We consider him highly esteemed, an expert, a legal ace and now most importantly our friend. If you are in need of legal defense and want experience, superior expertise, wisdom, a strategist with a kind heart of understanding we highly recommend Mr. Jay H. Granberry and his firm. We are infinitely thankful.

Jay Granberry Review

Referred to me by another attorney's office. Hired him to represent Grandson attending A&M re marijuana charge. The day I was notified of this matter while on vacation, we hired Mr. Granberry by phone from a parking lot in California. Did so based on his friendly, totally professional assessment of ...the case and straight forward demeanor in that phone call. I came away from that call convinced he would treat my grandson as more than just a "case". He interviewed grandson put him at ease and moved forward with the case efficiently and effectively. The proceedings went exactly as he described for the agreed fee with no hidden surprises. He and his office were thoroughly responsive throughout the process and while being totally professional were very supportive of my miscreant grandson. Provided much more than just legal service, although that was first rate. They do it right and have my total trust. Highly recommend this firm and Mr. Granberry.

Commendation

Jay Granberry is by far one the best lawyers in B/CS he worked tirelessly and with great amounts of effort for me. He addressed any and all questions and concerns I may have had in a timely and highly educated manner no matter what time of day it was. If it weren't for him I wouldn't be so fortunate ...as to be able to commend him as I am now. He is compassionate, fair, understanding, and I have the utmost respect for him. I am forever grateful.

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.

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!
