Practice Areas
Civil Litigation
Clay represents individuals, businesses, and government entities. Clay's clients include U.S. and foreign corporations, and his range of civil practice includes local counsel for prestigious law firms, civil defense, and plaintiff work.
Clay recently secured a $13+ million-dollar settlement for his clients in a contested civil case.
Criminal Law
Clay holds the rare distinction of being Board-Certified in Criminal Law. He has been a prosecutor, a judge, a bailiff, and now a defense attorney. The only role he hasn't held is court reporter - and he is wholly unqualified to even attempt that job.
He has led a team of military prosecutors overseas and he has prosecuted Texas crimes from possession of marijuana to murder. He has presided over jury trials, written appellate briefs, and even argued before appellate courts.
Estate Planning
Our estate planning packages include a Last Will and Testament, Statutory Durable Power of Attorney, Medical Power of Attorney, Directive to Physicians, and Declaration of Guardian.
We offer three levels of protection — Essential, Complete, and Legacy — starting at $1,250, with additional services like Transfer on Death Deeds, a Family Emergency Binder, and annual review calls available in our higher tiers.
Mediation
Clay is a certified mediator and former elected judge who has presided over hundreds of contested matters. He understands what it takes to get parties to resolution — and he knows what a judge is likely to do if they don't.
Clay is available as a neutral mediator in civil, family law, and other disputes. If you have a case that needs a mediator who has actually sat on the bench and made the hard calls, contact our office to schedule.

Personal Injury and Wrongful Death
If you or a loved one has been seriously injured or killed due to someone else's negligence, our firm can help. Clay accepts personal injury and wrongful death cases and works alongside experienced lead counsel who specialize in complex injury litigation.
This associate counsel model ensures you get the benefit of both a local attorney who knows your community and your courts, and a lead attorney with deep specialization in maximizing recovery for injury victims.
Clay remains actively involved throughout your case — from the initial consultation through resolution — while the lead counsel brings additional resources, expertise, and trial capacity to bear on your behalf. There is no additional cost to the client for this arrangement.
If you have a personal injury or wrongful death matter, please call us at (903)-270-0140 or email main@clayharrisonlaw.com to discuss your situation.
We do not use an intake form for these cases — we prefer to speak with you directly.
Criminal Defense Lawyer
About Clay Harrison, Attorney at Law P.L.L.C.
"I have flown through the jungle in a helicopter with Green Berets, and I have turned a Hopkins County bull into a Hopkins County steer by using a rubber band. I have advised a One-Star General on international law in Japan and I have mowed half the yards in Sulphur Springs. I have been island-hopping on a speed boat with Navy SEALs and I have divided pots and pans between divorcing couples in East Texas.
As a trial attorney, I have tried cases before judges and juries. As a judge, I have decided hard cases involving millions of dollars. I have sat in chambers with children - and listened - before making the ruling that would change their lives forever.
Whether far abroad or back home, I have been blessed with countless opportunities to be a problem-solver. Now, I look forward to serving the folks of East Texas as their trusted guide, counsel, and advocate."
