I worked with Bob Garrey and wow!! What a compassionate, caring and all around great human being. His no-nonsense attitude and zero tolerance for bullying really put me at ease when dealing with a former employer. Bob and his team were diligent, responsive and reliable. Any questions that I had Bob and his team were immediately there to help!! Thank you, Bob, for everything!!

Bob Garrey is amazing! He has helped me out so much. He’s very informative and keeps me updated on everything. If you are looking for a caring and professional lawyer, he’s your guy!. Bob, as well as his paralegal, both worked diligently to get the type of outcome I wanted with the case. His excellent communication skills helped me feel prepared and confident through each step of the process. I definitely recommend Bob Garrey and the "Saunders, Walsh & Beard" law firm. I’m thankful I’ve found them.

Fantastic law firm. They assisted me in a business related matter and helped reach a very fair and equitable settlement. Highly professional, great communication and fair fee structure. Highly recommended.

More than anything my wife and I, would like to say that if it wasn't for Alex Beard and Mark Johnson, we could've been taken advantage of, and because of them our situation turned out really well. We cannot say enough great things about them! We "THANK YOU", both from the bottom of our hearts.

Mr. Thomas was extremely knowledgeable in construction law. He was able to resolve our issues with multiple contractors very professionally and in a timely manner. He has excellent communication skills ensuring that we knew exactly what was happening and kept us up to date every step of the way. We had an excellent outcome and recommend him highly and will use him again if needed.

After working with another lawyer who was not getting results, I contacted Mr. Thomas and he exceeded my expectations in every way. If you want a serious, well researched, business-like approach Jacob Thomas is a great choice.

Mr. Thomas met with me on extremely short notice and provided me with the legal counsel that I desperately needed. I was approaching the end of a contract that I believed to be shady, (it demanded a high contract-breaking fee), and I wanted to know if it was legal to hold me to the amount given my current situation. Mr. Thomas walked me through three different avenues of contract termination without providing a bias towards any. When I sought his personal opinion, the choice ended up being the one that was in my best interest. I highly recommend Mr. Jacob Thomas; he is a gentleman and a scholar and I will definitely rely on his services in the future.

Mr. Thomas accepted a litigation case at a very critical time in the legal process. He quickly understood all the issues involved and the many unusual circumstances that had occurred prior to being retained. His attention to detail and strategic positioning of those details allowed for a very acceptable settlement. The communication from Mr. Thomas and the staff at Saunders, Walsh, & Beard is first class and always timely. I highly recommend this firm.

I endorse this lawyer. Jacob Thomas is a leader in the construction law community. He has the experience to litigate the most challeng[ing] cases, he's not afraid of the courtroom, and he is one of the smartest lawyers I know. If I had a construction law problem I would hire Jacob before the other side does.

I was referred to Jacob a few years ago by a mutual friend and it was of great benefit. A 2 year case ended up in court with a very David and Goliath scenario with Jacob facing multiple attorneys by himself in a jury trial where we were the plaintiff. After a week-long trial the jury returned in just a couple hours with a decision in our favor. He was absolutely remarkable and a first class attorney and stuck to the facts with NO court room antics or attempts to humiliate the defendant even though that was what we faced. I was very proud to be represented by an extremely knowledgeable man that made me believe the good morals of humanity can still prevail over evil.

Jacob did everything he said he would and more. He made me feel at ease during a very trying time. He kept telling me "don't you worry, that's what you have me for." I put my problems in his hands and he took great care of me. I hope I never have to go through that type of situation again but if I ever do, Jacob will be the first one I call.

Over the past 5 years I have retained or consulted with Jacob D. Thomas on three separate occasions. One of the consultations was to seek a second opinion of a legal matter being handled by one of the large Dallas firms. While representing my interest Mr. Thomas exceeded expectations and quickly resolved a pending legal issue. I have met with Mr. Thomas in his law office, and felt that he was totally engaged in the issue at hand. I have also spoken with Mr. Thomas via telephone regarding negotiations of a settlement in a legal matter. All encounters with Mr. Thomas have been prompt, professional and comfortable. Mr. Thomas is intelligent and has a strong grasp of the law and provides explanations clearly and precisely. An impressive factor when dealing with Mr. Thomas is his prompt response to messages and focus on where the legal issue currently stands, not necessary to "refresh" him each time you speak. In thirty years of private business I have dealt with many attorneys, Mr. Thomas rates among the best. Mr. Thomas had the respect of opposing counsel which I felt was helpful in settling my legal issues out of court. He also clearly articulated the path of the legal issue and the progression should a settlement not have been reached. In my case Mr. Thomas was well versed on the pending legal issue and able to quickly point out what issues were not valid by the opposing parties. Mr. Thomas provides the highest quality of legal advice and representation. As well, Mr. Thomas is easy to communicate with and genuinely concerned about the outcome of the case and his client. Should I need legal representation in the future I would certainly contact Mr. Thomas.

My name is SuZann Kloesel. My daughter passed away on February 23, 2011. There were two life insurance policies on her life. One paid death benefits immediately. The other claim was denied. I contacted Alex Beard who vigorously pursued this action on my behalf against the insurance company. After battling with the insurance company for many months, Alex was able to settle my claim through mediation. I was very impressed with Alexs professionalism and passion in defending my rights. Alex was able to ease the emotional stress for me by successfully handling all aspects of my case. I would refer Alex Beard to everyone I know for above and beyond representation.

Alex Beard provided our out-of-state client with excellent trial and appellate court representation on a novel contract matter involving jurisdictional issues. Mr. Beard was extremely thorough and kept us informed of all significant developments in the litigation. He successfully defended our client and, in the process, saved it a substantial amount of money.

Mark is a capable young lawyer who is aggressive and represents his clients well.

I have worked with Mark Walsh on several cases in the past. The most recent was a multi-party construction contract. In working with Mark in the past, it was easy to recognize his capabilities regarding law, however, I had not, before this case, spent time with him in a mediation. During this multi-party suit, I saw abilities in Mark that I had not seen before. During the mediation, he showed proficiency in presenting technical issues, but more importantly, he was direct, strong, though fair, and unbending with the mediator when he needed to be. At the conclusion of the mediation, I felt we received an award in an amount well in excess of the amount I anticipated, and felt that was due to the approach that Mark took throughout the mediation. There is law, and then there is the application of law in the various settings ( court, mediation, arbitration, etc. ), the ability to stress the critical points at the appropriate time, and the ability to negotiate, and the knowledge and experience when not to negotiate down from your position. As I said, I felt I had seen Mark's capabilities in the field of law before this case, however, as a result of this case; I saw a broader view of his capabilities in this field, and feel even more comfortable because of that going forward.

Impressive individual personally and professionally. Excellent and cordial litigator.

I have known and worked with Mark for many years. He is a skilled and capable lawyer and knows his field well.

Mark handled a complex legal dispute I had with a contractor. The result was he negotiated a settlement that included post-judgment collection costs. As with many legal issues, there are several strategies to consider. Mark made sure I understood all possible outcomes and would provide several different ways to tackle each step. He spent my retainer wisely, and I definitely got my money's worth. In addition, he has a competent, detail-oriented staff who cares about a client's case. Every call or email was returned promptly throughout the entire process. Mark has business expertise, too, so I hired him to form a second business I started in 2012. If I ever have any kind of legal issue, Mark is the first person I will call. I trust his advice, and definitely would hire him again.

Mark is a very good construction lawyer. I have known Mark for 10+ years and worked with him got several years. Mark is very capable and possesses good judgement.

I had a case with Mark in which he exhibited many fine traits of congeniality, professionalism, and legal skill. He is an excellent lawyer. He has my highest recommendation.

Being a tier-one contractor requires a top attorney who completely understands the financial environment of the day. Given the opportunity, Mark has always provided sound advice, and continually protects the financial interest of our company from those customer/clients that are reluctant to pay on time or pay at all. Mark consistently protects our lien/bond rights and ensures that all notices and/or filings are accurate and timely. In many cases there are hundreds of thousands of dollars at stake, and at the same time on the small items just as much expertise and passion is provided. The one unmistakeable attribute that will be discovered with a very short period of time is Mark will never spend your money in a frivolous matter, and his counsel always has an efficient and economical means to the end.

I would highly recommend the law firm of Saunders, Walsh and Beard. They are a team of lawyers that you can trust. They take the time to listen to my needs and then get the job done. I have used them for estate planning, medical contract reviews, property purchases, and litigation concerns. Each and every time, I was treated with respect, dignity and compassion. They cared about my needs more than making a profit. They are seasoned attorneys with extensive training and experience in a wide variety of law concerns. As a busy medical professional that understands the benefit of efficiency, one of the great things about this group is that they always got the work done in a timely manner. Not once have I ever had to call and ask where the work product was. I am so fortunate to have this group of attorneys on my side.

I have been a property owner and out of state landlord for many years and I have been very fortunate to have had very few issues over this time. Unfortunately, my luck ran out and I was forced into legal issues that were the enough to break many people both emotionally and financially. Fortunately, I found the right attorney in Brantley Saunders of Saunders, Walsh & Beard. Not only did Brantley represent me very well through multiple levels of the Collin County and State of Texas Court system (JP, County, 5th District Court of Appeals, and beyond), he helped me mediate a fair deal with a combination of attorneys representing the other side. Through all of this, Brantley's demeanor and professionalism were the saving grace for me, as it often was close to becoming more than I could handle. I am confident that if I ever need another attorney to represent me in legal situations that involve real estate, Brantley is who I will turn to for support. I highly recommend Brantley Saunders and his team at Saunders, Walsh & Beard.

Very competent and experienced trial lawyer. Not afraid of trying cases.

I have seen Brantley in action on several civil cases - he is an outstanding lawyer in every regard! Additionally, Brantley cares about his clients which renders him a great lawyer.

I defended a personal injury case in which Brantley represented the premises owner and I represented the builder. I observed Brantley's high level of preparation and tenacity through the trial court and again on appeal. He is an excellent lawyer, and a credit to the profession.

I have worked with several attorneys in the past, and Mr. Saunders is among the best. His professionalism is unsurpassed. He is extremely responsive to the needs of his client, and keeps the client updated throughout the case. Even during busy times when I had to leave a message, my call was returned in a timely manner. I highly recommend him!

Brantley, I will never be able to thank you enough for your expertise and direction in resolving this lawsuit. Your advice on somewhat confusing matters was invaluable. You are very much appreciated by myself and Plano Housing Authority.
