Best Possible Outcome

The worst case scenario was life in prison for my charges. Mary and her team were extremely attentive and helpful with my process. Through mediation and hard work they got me a deal for 1 year of pretrial diversion. I would recommend this attorney and law firm to anyone facing a criminal charge in Lu...bbock

Mary Moretti and Stephen Hamilton Byrd Law

Mary and the rest of the team at Stephen Hamilton Byrd Law did a fantastic job with resolving my case. Mary did an excellent job walking me through the process and searching every avenue to help my case. They were able to coordinate the dismissal of my DWI charge. I highly recommend working with Mary... for any criminal defense case!

Very professional, excellent attorney

I got a DUI in the Lubbock area, almost 700 miles from home, Mary took my case and guided me through all the things I had to do. I work 7 days a week and she took care of everything, I never had to go back to the area or deal with the court in person again. In the end my case was dismissed, could not... have asked for a better outcome. I highly recommend Mary to represent anyone with a DUI in the Lubbock area.

A positive and informed experience.

While returning from out of state back to Texas I was arrested in Amarillo for felony marijuana possession and felony marijuana oil possession. I did not have a lawyer and was 600 miles away from home. After talking to Mary about my situation being a disabled veteran and using cannabis for pain and P...TSD I was very hopeful and releaved at my prospects being a first time offender. Mary was very easy to communicate with, even through email and I was very pleased with the outcome of my case. I have since been in contact with Mary to review my options going forward and my best interest have always been put first. Thank you again Mary.

Mary is a competent, thorough attorney

Mary Moretti represented me when I was arrested in Levelland Texas by a very poor representative of the Levelland Police Department. She is a very caring competent and thorough attorney and person. Even though I live 350 miles from where she practices she was always so helpful it was just as if she w...as right here in my hometown. I would recommend her to anyone in any case she would care to defend someone. In fact, I would choose her over any other attorney in that area and even her office. I was very fortunate that Mary represented me. I would like to say that even though my case has been dropped on several occasions when I've contacted her she has been a very thorough and helpful and I would not sleep well if it had not been for her. My very best wishes to Mary Moretti and I thank her for representing me extremely well. No wonder why she has an excellent rating. I would give her more than five stars if I could.
