Pretrial diversion for a felony charge

Garrett, Daisy, and the team at Cofer & Connelly were outstanding! I had a lot on the line and a ton of questions for a 3rd degree felony charge. Garrett and his team were responsive, professional, and compassionate throughout the entire process. Over the course of four-months Garrett was able to... negotiate a pretrial diversion with very favorable terms. Garrett and his team helped walk me through a nightmare scenario that will soon be just a memory. I highly recommend Garrett and his team for criminal defense cases in Bexar County and surrounding areas.

Great Defense Attorney

Wonderful negotiator and communicator when it comes to providing updates on the status of a case. Available for questions via telephone call or video chat. Highly recommend.

Best Criminal Defense Attorney in the Hill Country.

Garrett and Daisy are very good listeners, they are compassionate and hard working. They respond to messages in a timely manner. They were always there for me and more importantly they were able to have my two charges dismissed, and my mug shot taken down within hours of being posted. Also, I wa...s able to meet Garrett in person at his Kerrville office which was nice to meet face to face to discuss the case. I highly recommend calling them.

Thank you Garret Emerson

I can't thank Garret Emerson enough for the incredible job he did handling my case. From the very beginning, Garret demonstrated professionalism, deep legal expertise, and genuine care for my situation. He took the time to explain every step of the process clearly, always made himself available for q...uestions, and fought tirelessly on my behalf. Thanks to his skillful strategy and unwavering commitment, my case was successfully dropped—an outcome I honestly didn’t think was possible. Garret not only protected my legal rights but also gave me peace of mind during one of the most stressful times of my life. If you're looking for a sharp, dedicated, and trustworthy attorney who truly delivers results, I wholeheartedly recommend Garret Emerson. He exceeded every expectation and proved that having the right lawyer really does make all the difference.

Very Rough Case taken down like Tyson

Knowledge, Adaptability,Expertise, and Humble is what I can say about MR. EMERSON ESQ. Is and some of his best qualaties. I Had a rough case, that was illegal to begin with. Mr Emerson kept me calm, while gathering all of the evidence. Once in hand He picked and pulled everything apart meticulously..., and showed how they directly related to the laws I had not broken. His knowledge of the law is superb, and on any question I had je immediately had the answer for me. He was a Bulldog during our supression hearing, and displayed excellence 360 degrees. Punching holes right through the officers stories of why I was pulled over. It was so evident that the judge didn't even think 20 seconds about granting the motion. This really saved my Life, and my family's life. I would have No one else represent me in Kerrville or anywhere else besides Mr Garret Emerson...
