DWI

We hired Kurt Gransee to defend my daughter who was charged with DUI despite several serious flaws with the charge. First and foremost, she was not driving her vehicle as noted to authorities by the store clerk who stated she had been sitting in the parking lot for over 8 hours. Hayes county also wai...ted 22 months (pre covid) to actually charge her with this offense which greatly hampered her ability to locate witnesses that could corroborate the store clerks’ statements. Mr Gransee vigorously defended my daughter’s legal rights including the right to a speedy trial. After several hearings and the DA’s refusal to drop the charges, the judge ruled in favor of Mr. Gransee’s speedy trial motion and the charge was dropped. I have no doubt that without Mr. Gransee’s knowledge of the law, persistence, and willingness to fight the charge, my daughter would have been wrongly convicted of DUI. I would highly recommend Mr. Gransee to anyone in need of legal counsel.

RE: Mr Kurt Gransee & my Case

My Attorney was Mr. Kurt Gransee & I don't even know where to begin, when I first met him & had our first consultation, I knew in my heart & intuition that I had chosen the absolute BEST, trustworthy & knowledgeable Attorneys in all of San Antonio, TX. I was facing a DWI charge that I was terrified ...about being my 1st criminal case. I cannot begin to explain how well informed Mr. Gransee kept me on what to expect & that he truly cared about me & my pending charge. He was very compassionate & kept me well informed explaining everything to me. He also actually cared about my fear & anxiety that I had with my pending charge. When my court hearing came for the prosecution & for me to face the judge, Mr. Gransee was so amazing he got the prosecutor to drop my DWI to Obstruction of a Highway & also with deferment!!! That's how AMAZING he truly is & how experienced he is, honesty. I'm writing this review honesty because I want the public to strongly choose Mr. Kurt Gransee & how very intelligent, professional & experienced he honesty is. I have zero regrets in choosing him to represent me. My life was in his hands & he did such an amazing job. His experience with the prosecution was outstanding & he did an amazing job. There's no words to express how grateful I am that I chose him as my Attorney. I strongly recommended Mr. Gransee to anyone & everyone with pending criminal charges of any kind. If u choose Mr. Gransee, U will not regret it & u can rely & trust him with your case 100%. He is 1 of the top Attorneys in San Antonio & surrounding counties with many years of experience. Please choose him to represent u, trust me, u will not regret it. Thank u so very much for all the energy, hard work & experience in representing me with my case with outstanding results Mr. Gransee.

Took care of everything

I was arrested for DUI while asleep in my car in a parking lot. No previous arrests of any kind. Rush and Gransee's office took care of everything. I didn't have to show up for anything. It took a little while, just shy of a year for everything to get taken care of, but in the end, charges were n...ever filed and my license was never suspended. During the process, I received regular updates via email on the progress of my case. It was great to have everything taken care of, no worries about dates and paperwork and needing to take time off and all of that.

Making an ordeal manageable

I hired Kurt to be my counsel for a DWI charge last year which he got dismissed for me. He did a terrific job and would highly recommend his services for any one in a similar predicament. He offered a very manageable payment plan and was willing to adjust it for me after I got diagnosed with Lympho...ma. I am impressed with his poise, ability and knowledge of the courts in which he practices. My experience with his offices were professional, but compassionate. He and his secretary Elsa kept me constantly informed on the particulars of my case. Kurt made himself available any time and always explained matters in a way I could understand. I am eternally grateful for the excellent and affordable service that Kurt and Elsa provide and I am more than willing to recommend them to anyone.

Honest /Reliable / Caring/ Confident in a Calm Cool collective way

I hired Mr. Gransee a year ago when I was arrested for DWI, in which the officer didn't have a real reasonable cause to pull me over but I won't go into details. Well, I did my research made several appointments with various lawyers and I was sick & tired of it, then as I was about to give up I came... across Kurt Gransee's flyer (like most flyers I received in the mail after being arrested and put on some mailing list,sheesh ) on it stated his credentials ,so I figured it couldn't hurt to sit down with the man. Upon our appointment he was very knowledgeable, straight forward (no sugar coating which really impressed me), and he was genuinely willing to work with me financially ...he was utterly generous. I was sold and the weight was suddenly gone. Furthermore, Mr. Gransee and his secretary were so amazingly caring they always answered my questions ,return my calls (punctually)and most of all they build more than just a rapport with me .Now that it's done, I'm free of any conviction and have my drivers license back , I'll miss them truly. Thanks you guys!
