Jay Harlan Granberry Jr.

In December of 2020, I emailed Jay asking for an emergency consultation after a serious criminal charge was placed against me. Thankfully, he was willing to meet with me that night (a Saturday night). During the consultation, he demonstrated a high degree of knowledge in criminal law, as well as expe...rience with Brazos county courts specifically, so I hired him. The latter part is why I would hire him again. Throughout the entire process, Jay was able to tell me what courses of action were available to us, which actions he thought best, and what I could expect going further. Ultimately, Jay's experience in Brazos County was a major determining factor in the outcome of my case - which was favorable. I would definitely recommend Jay to anyone facing criminal charges in Brazos County.

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.

If you are reading this, you are probably in a very scary situation for yourself or someone you love facing serious charges. Pause, take a breath, pray, and read on. I definitely recommend Jay Granberry! Our son and his girlfriend were arrested for having a small amount of an illegal substan...ce in his off-campus home. Our son got sick and his girlfriend was naturally scared for him, so she called 911 for an ambulance. Instead of an ambulance, the CS PD came. They rushed in uninvited and searched our son’s room without permission. Eventually, they saw that she was right in calling the ambulance, and radioed to ask for one. Rather than praising her for calling for help, and maybe charging them with something like possession, they painted them both as drug dealers and hit them with class one felony charges for manufacturing and delivery (up to life in prison)! The cops shared the arrest with the College Station newspaper, and these two students were painted in the media as some sort of “Bonnie and Clyde”. As a side note, I am a former police officer. The officers that responded to the scene went way overboard to destroy both of their lives… we needed high-powered help. Because our son and his girlfriend were both charged, they needed separate lawyers. Our son’s girlfriend is paying her own way through school, so she couldn’t afford her own attorney. Without hesitation, we decided to help her; and that’s when we found Jay Granberry. He didn’t have a lot of online reviews at the time, so we took the time to meet with him. Jay spent all of the time we needed to get to know him, his approach, and his thoughts on the kids’ cases. Because he was going to be our son’s girlfriend’s attorney (we were only footing the bill), he took the time one-on-one with her to ensure she was comfortable and confident. (Jay did allow us to pay his retainer over time.) Throughout the case, we spoke with our son’s attorney and with Jay. The two attorneys have somewhat different communication styles. The thing I appreciated about Jay is that he told us the truth about the good and bad of what the outcomes could be. He was always there to talk whenever we needed. Almost a year to the day later, she received a letter from the Brazos County prosecutor that her arrest was rejected, and that all charges were dropped! I can’t guarantee that everyone will have these results. But I wholeheartedly recommend Jay! Here’s a summary of what to expect: * If you wonder whether hiring Jay is worth the cost, he absolutely is! * Take the time to tell him what you want the outcome to be. In our case, it was making sure our son’s and his girlfriend’s futures were not forever destroyed. * If he thinks you will benefit from stretching the process out, do it. * Listen to and do what he says. He is a former prosecutor and knows what he’s talking about. But don’t be afraid to tell him what’s on your mind, and what you want. * If you ever have periods of fear and doubt, call him. He let us call and talk it through anytime we wanted. He always made time for us.

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.

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.
