Clay Harrison, Attorney at Law P.L.L.C.

Most civil disputes are decided long before trial — in the preparation, the positioning, and the judgment calls made early in the case. Clay brings nearly two decades of trial experience and a former judge's perspective to every civil matter he takes.

He represents individuals, businesses, and government entities, with a range of practice that includes commercial defense, plaintiff work, and service as local counsel for prestigious law firms representing U.S. and foreign corporations. Clay recently secured a $13+ million settlement for his clients in a contested civil case.

Cases require a $10,000 initial retainer. Our typical civil case budget starts at around $30,000. Unfortunately, we are not a good fit for small claims cases.

Civil cases are billed hourly, as follows:

Attorney: $500/hr

Paralegal: $200/hr

Legal Assistant: $100/hr

A strong criminal defense is built from an understanding of every side of the system — how prosecutors think, how judges rule, and how juries weigh evidence. Clay has worked all three. He holds the rare distinction of being Board-Certified in Criminal Law.

He has served as a prosecutor, a judge presiding over criminal matters, and now a defense attorney. He has led a team of military prosecutors overseas, prosecuted Texas cases ranging from possession of marijuana to murder, presided over jury trials, written appellate briefs, and argued before Texas courts of appeals.

Criminal cases are billed on a flat-rate basis, depending on the severity of the charge. Most misdemeanors are $5,000 and most felonies are between $7,500 to $10,000.

Clay will handle Class C tickets for commercial truck drivers at a flat rate of $1,750.

A well-designed estate plan does three things: it keeps your estate out of probate court, it prevents disputes among your beneficiaries, and it makes things simple for the family member who has to wind up your affairs. Those are the priorities Clay designs into every plan.

Our estate planning packages are billed at a flat rate, starting at $1,250 for individuals and $1,750 for married couples.

Mediation works when the mediator can see the case from both sides and can honestly tell the parties where it is likely to end up at trial. Clay is a certified mediator and former elected judge who has presided over hundreds of contested matters — the kind of experience that helps parties resolve without a verdict.

He is available to mediate civil, family law, and other disputes. If your case calls for a mediator who has actually sat on the bench and made the hard calls, contact our office to schedule.

Clay's mediator fee is a flat $3,000 to be divided equally among the parties for one full day of mediation. Clay does not offer half day mediations or bill hourly.

Clay handles probate cases that meet the following criteria:

1. The decedent left behind a valid Texas will;

2. Less than four years have passed since the decedent passed away;

3. There are no unpaid debts of the estate (other than debts secured by land such as a mortgage); and 

4. There is no need for a full probate administration

If the case meets these criteria, Clay offers a streamlined probate option called "probating the will as a muniment of title only," that is fast, predictable, and relatively inexpensive. 

The fee is a flat $2,500 plus fling fees.
