Being accused of a crime and getting arrested is one of the worst things that can ever happen to anyone. The stress, anxiety, illness and turmoil it causes in your life and in the lives of your loved ones are enormous. At The Haggard Law Firm, we understand that you may be under extraordinary stress at the time you contact us for yourself or on behalf of a loved one.
You may be facing jail time, a lengthy prison sentence, the loss of a career you’ve worked hard to build, the loss of a home or vehicle you’ve worked hard to buy, the loss of your family or children - many divorces take place as a direct result of criminal prosecution - and the loss of your reputation and good name. In short, your whole life may be at stake.
If you are a repeat offender or have a long record, and are guilty of this latest charge, it is bad enough. You may be filled with shame at having fallen back into old bad habits. If you are a repeat offender, yet know yourself to be innocent of this latest charge, the anguish is multiplied many times over; you feel as if your past will follow you the rest of your life. For several examples of repeat offenders whose past Mr. Haggard prevented from haunting them, see:
Results – Assault: Bernardo G.
Results - Drugs: Dean B.
Results - Theft: Mark K., Rogelio S., Troy H.
Criminal law is perhaps the only area of the law in which an attorney is so directly responsible for the welfare of his client and that of his family. We realize all of this and, in addition to our commitment to obtaining the best results possible under the law, we treat our clients with compassion, patience and understanding. For an example of one client’s response to Mr. Haggard’s compassion in the handling of his case, see:
Results – Domestic, David D.
We have dedicated our practice to protecting and exculpating citizens accused of crimes. We treat every client as we would want to be treated. We maintain full confidentiality, so don’t lie to us or conceal the facts. We don’t judge; we defend.
