Firm Overview

When trouble comes with handcuffs, you need good, experienced representation.
James D. Granberry has been representing folks charged with crimes since he left the Nueces county district attorney's office in 1994.  It's all he does — no divorces, no probate, no civil litigation.  Those cases he refers to a long list of gifted collegues who share the same philosophy of quality, reasonably priced representation.

He handles all manner of criminal cases from class B misdemeanors to Capital murder.  He has handled hundreds of serious felony cases in Nueces and the surrounding counties including San Patricio, Aransas, Bee, Live Oak, Jim Wells, Duval, Kleberg, and McMullen.



Credentials include:

• Member of the National College of DWI Lawyers.
• Board member for the Texas DWI Defense Lawyers
• Founding President of the Coastal Bend Criminal Defense Lawyers Association
• Member the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association since 1987
• Served six years on the Grievance Committee, and several as Chairman

He learned his trade trying cases in the Nueces County District Attorney's office as a felony prosecutor for four years.  His Law Office is in Tinker Towers, at 622 South Tancahua, Corpus Christi, Texas.  It was in this same location where he began his career as a Gofer-at-law in the summer of 1985 after he finished his first year of Law School at Texas Tech University.  That summer was pivotal to his career, as he saw that a lawyer didn't have to wear a suit everyday, dogs were allowed, and you could still have fun while providing vigorous, intelligent representation to folks who had run afoul of the law.

He learned that most folks who need his services are good, hard working people doing their best to live good, happy lives who have had a bad night or a temporary lapse in judgement.  Many are young and caught in the throes of addiction.  Nothing pleases him more than being stopped and thanked years later by a former client for getting them through their rough spot and on to a successful career that might not have been possible had they been convicted of a crime.
