ACCIDENT INVOLVING INJURY/DEATH
Case No. 1293255- Ismael C.
GRAND JURY NO-BILL April 26, 2011
Ismael went to pick up an unrepaired computer after six months in the “shop” he’d found on Craig’s List - which turned out to be the repairman’s [Complainant] home.   When the Complainant asked to be paid for the still-unrepaired computer, Ismael refused and started to back his truck out.  While doing so Complainant jumped onto the side rails of Ismael’s truck and assaulted Ismael including grabbing the steering wheel which caused the moving truck to swerve and Complainant to fall and sustain injuries; an EMT arrived at the scene and Complainant was transported to the hospital.  It did not occur to Ismael, an honest man, to make a defensive report to police to forestall a lying Complainant.  He assumed that the fact that Complainant had attempted to defraud Ismael, had rather assaulted Ismael and had caused his own injuries to himself would prevent him from lying to police and fabricating an entirely different story.   WRONG.  It did not help matters that Ismael was in the Sheriff’s database due to two prior assault charges. We prepared Ismael for testifying along with a convincing Grand Jury brief which included several meticulous eyewitness Affidavits, phone and other evidence records and BBB records on Complainant’s business – it had an “F” rating – to impeach his credibility.

Mr. Haggard put my worries at each with the legal experience he brought to the table when I was facing a tough District Attorney.

AGGRAVATED ASSAULT DEADLY WEAPON – KNIFE SLASH TO NECK – COMPLAINANT LIFE FLIGHTED
Case No. 1279378 – Josh W.
DISMISSED April 25, 2011
Josh is a Purple Heart Army veteran who has a pre-existing condition due to a brain injury caused by multiple IED’s exploding on him in Iraq:  any trauma to the head for Josh could be life-threatening.  While Josh and friends were at a popular and well-known bar in Katy a fight broke out.  Josh was not involved but other members of his party were and all were asked to leave.  In the parking lot, several of the aggressors from the bar, including a 400 lb. man, attacked Josh, hitting him in the head and choking him.  While fighting not to lose consciousness, knowing he might never wake up if he did, Josh managed to pull out a knife and slash the neck of one of the assailants who had to be life-flighted for his injuries.  Another complainant broke his hand in the melee.  We sent one of our investigators immediately to subpoena the club’s outside video surveillance camera footage only to find that it had been mysteriously copied over just a few hours earlier.  This footage would have also corroborated our client’s assertion that the five bouncers stood idly by watching the fight and only intervened after Josh had used his knife to slit open a neck.  Later investigations revealed that the bouncers and police were friends with the Complainants and that one of the arresting officers was publicly bragging about the arrest in another popular bar where one of the Complainant’s worked.  The very biased police took written statements from our six witnesses but none from the Complainant’s six witnesses.  Josh himself ended up with fractures and a concussion.  Although the club managed to skirt liability by “accidentally” recording over the parking lot tape, police and witness crime scene photos produced at least some visual evidence that we were able to use.   Despite such gross injustice and mismanagement we carefully argued our defense of self-defense which included extensive documentation of Josh’s medical condition as proof that he was truly in fear for his life and acting in self-defense and not recklessly, eyewitness testimony, and proof that he had done nothing to instigate the attack.  This case languished pre-indictment for so long that we had to have a special meeting with the DA’s regarding Complainant’s suspicious contacts with Josh on Facebook asking Josh to friend him – a subtle form of harassment and stalking.  We won our Dismissal just minutes before Josh was to testify before the Grand Jury.
AGGRAVATED ASSAULT DEADLY WEAPON
Case No. 1260984 – Adam B.
GRAND JURY NO-BILL June 23, 2010
Adam is a  consultant who teaches online Webex classes to Fortune 500 businesses.  While thus engaged, maintenance personnel from his Westchase residence began loudly sanding his front door.  He calmly asked  them to work elsewhere until his class was over.  Complainants belligerently told Adam to see the management and continued their work even more loudly.   Adam couldn’t leave his class waiting to go see management.  Further, he felt threatened and displayed his shotgun vertically from within his own residence.  A shoving match ensued after which Complainants took photos of the gun with their cell phones.   Their statement, written in Spanish, lost something in the ‘translation’ by their jefe.  It took a long time for charges to be filed as presumably the DAs coached police on which leading questions to ask to elicit the required responses  from Complainants. Trespass was an issue since much of the struggle took place on and just over the threshold of Adam’s home whereas Complainants had no right or need to enter.  Adam further felt threatened with bodily injury by Complainants, who were acting aggressively, as corroborated by witness testimony. After briefing the DA’s on all pertinent and disputed legal and fact  issues, providing eyewitness and character testimony, – including a compelling letter from the property owners, and photographic and weapon evidence, we got this case before the Grand Jury in record time.

Carl Haggard and his staff defended me expertly, vigorously and professionally to bring false accusations of Aggravated Assault against me to a 100% positive resolution. You will not find a law firm more dedicated to clearing your good name.
~ Adam B.

DID YOU KNOW….

Crimes of violence can have mitigating factors such as sudden passion.  A crime of sudden passion is one in which sufficient provocation produces a degree of terror that renders the actor incapable of cool reflection.  In a recent murder case, [Perez, 07-08-0425-CR] the Court of Appeals held that (1) the core concept of “sudden passion” is that at the moment of the killing the actor’s mental state rendered him incapable of rational thought ; (2) “sudden passion” is passion directly caused by provocation and arises at the time of the offense and is not solely the result of former provocation; (3) “adequate cause” must be present; this is a cause that would commonly produce a degree of rage or terror in a person of ordinary temper sufficient to render him incapable of cool reflection.  Your trial lawyer must be able to present legally and factually sufficient evidence of sudden passion for this to apply.

AGGRAVATED ASSAULT DEADLY WEAPON
Case No. 1254000 – Kenneth W.
DISMISSED  April 21, 2010 – *DAY AFTER OUR FIRST COURT APPEARANCE*
Kenny had been in jail since March 4, 2010, when he was arrested for allegedly shooting his brother.  His elderly mother hired us to substitute in for a court-appointed attorney who she felt was not working very hard on the case.  The case involved a long-standing feud/rivalry between Kenny and his brother, the Complainant in the case.  A fight broke out in part over Complainant’s disrespectful treatment of their mother.  She attempted to break up the fight and was knocked to the ground.  When Complainant would not stop fighting Kenny long enough to help their mother get off the floor and out of harm’s way, Kenny took matters into his own hands and grabbed his loaded shotgun.  He hit Complainant on the head causing a would requiring eight staples.   The gun also accidentally fired at that time. Complainant called police thinking the blood from his head was due to a gunshot wound.  Kenny hid the shotgun but police recovered it as well as two .410 shells and processed his hands for gunshot residue which was tagged in evidence.  Mr. Haggard interviewed Kenny in jail and began work on the case immediately after being retained several days prior to his first court hearing.  We obtained a Dismissal the day after our first official court appearance.

My son was facing a minimum of five years in prison.  Attorney Haggard fought for my son and showed the court my son was defending me against the assault of another family member.  He won the case and it was subsequently dismissed.  Without Mr. Haggard’s expertise, knowledge, and courtroom mediation, this could have been a very devastating outcome for me and my son.  My thanks and gratitude to Attorney Haggard and his staff for all they have done for my family.

AGGRAVATED ASSAULT DEADLY WEAPON
Case No. 1190283 – Brandon W.
DISMISSED March 24, 2010
This case involved a three-way knife fight and stab wounds to Complainant, wno produced the knife and first threatened Brandon with it.  A free-for-all ensued between the three resulting in blows to Complainant’s head by Brandon as well as several serious stab wounds requiring hospital treatment.  Using crime scene reconstruction and forensic evidence, such as analysis of the implications of the location of the trail of blood, as well as testimony from several eyewitnesses, we mounted a vigorous defense that included the thesis that Complainant’s stab wounds were caused either by himself inadvertently or by one of the other two parties accidentally.  Police took recorded statements of several witnesses and parties involved in the fight and charged Brandon only; no doubt his previous assault conviction didn’t help matters.  The fight happened in November of 2008 and languished in court for a year and a half while we aggressively battled, filing Motion after Motion and holding several pre-trial conferences to prepare for Trial.  The Dismissal  we won on the eve of Trial is all the more outstanding given that Brandon had unfortunately picked up another case in a nearby county during the pendency of this case.

Mr. Haggard is AWESOME! - a diligent lawyer who works on behalf of his client and a straight shooter – an honest person – who tells you how it is and what you can expect.
I was very worried about my 19-year-old son going to prison.  With The Haggard Law Firm’s team and many prayers to the Lord above, my son has been given a second
chance!  Due to his dedication to my son’s case, it was dismissed.  Should there ever be a need in the future, I want Mr. Haggard to represent this family.

THREE CHARGES OF AGGRAVATED ASSAULT DEADLY WEAPON
Case No. 1114905, 1120696, 1120697 – Louis D.
THREE GUNSHOT WOUNDS  – SELF-DEFENSE – DEFERRED ADJUDICATION
Louis a passenger in a truck driven by his wife when they were confronted by three known enemies on foot wielding a baseball bat and a knife.  His wife sped off but Louis, in a highly intoxicated state, returned to the scene and shot them in the stomach, arm and leg using a .25 caliber semiautomatic.  Police found four spent shells and a trail of blood at the scene.  Using Louis’ history of mental illness and his other medical conditions and records as well as the considerable amount of evidence of self-defense, including dents in Louis’ car left by the bat, we were able to get him a truly last-minute Court Order to leave the hospital to attend his own Hearing at which we won for Louis deferred adjudication despite his prior record.  His family felt prison would have been a death sentence, as it had been for Louis’ older brother.  Read on.

I’m asonished, amazed, in awe and forever grateful for the outstanding representation that you offered to my brother!  Already having had a brother die in TDC due to medical neglect, I was despondent at the idea of having another brother suffer the atrocities prison had in store for him.  We did not help my older brother retain his own attorney and I will always regret that decision.  We trusted the attorney appointed by the court, who did not concern himself with my brother’s plight.  His 10-year sentence turned out to be a death sentence.  As for Louis, you truly went to bat for him.  He was looking at spending the reset of his life in prison.  With your continued determination to fight for him and your knowledge of the judicial system, you were able to obtain the probation  that my family hoped and prayed for but feared was out of his reach.  In my eyes, knowing what I know about the prison system, you not only allowed him a second chance at life, you literally saved his life.  If there was ever a claim for “money well spent”, it was retaining your services as our personal attorney.  Thank you forever and ever… [signed]
~ Louis’ sister

AGGRAVATED ASSAULT DEADLY WEAPON
Case No. 1111481 – John M.
NO-BILLED BY GRAND JURY
Our client had a prior State Jail felony on his record when this incident occurred. While on a job site several hundred dollars’ worth of his plumbers’ tools were stolen. He made a police report then later the same day the thieves approached our client and assaulted him, inflicting visible injuries. Our client defended himself using a flashlight and metal rod to inflict severe injuries on the Complainants requiring stitches. Using evidence and the self-defense motive, Mr. Haggard had the case brought before the Grand Jury, who No-Billed it.  This case is now eligible for expunction.

DID YOU KNOW…?

There is no set number of years beyond which a past conviction can no longer be deemed admissible as impeachment evidence against you at trial on a new charge — depending on the facts presented.
For ex,. in a recent Aggravated Assaulst trial in which the defendant was accused of breaking his girlfriend’s jaw, he testified he was using self-defense and was not a violent person.  This opened the door for the prosecution’s use of a 26-year-old felony conviction for stabbing three people in a bar in which case he had asserted self-defense as well.  Grant v. State, 247 S.W.3d 360 (Tex.App.-Austin)

ASSAULT – MURDER
Case No. 1133324 – Jacqueline B.
DISMISSED
When her intoxicated husband would not allow her to leave during an argument, Jacqueline found it necessary to defend herself with a knife.  After she left, her husband called police who found Jacqueline and the knife nearby.  We were preparing to set the case for Trial, as Jacqueline was unwilling to plead, when Mr. Haggard obtained a Dismissal.

Carl took great prior preparation and always put my needs and thoughts first.  A man of his word.
~ Jacqueline B.

AGGRAVATED ASSAULT DEADLY WEAPON
Case No. 1091130 – Kenneth A.
DISMISSED
Kenneth had a pending Burglary case when he picked up a  new case of Aggravated Assault.  He was involved in a fight after which three of his friends were arrested for Aggravated Robbery.  Our client and the three co-defendants were positively ID’d by the Complainant.  Mr. Haggard was prepared to go to Trial but through his skillful use of witness and weapon evidence was able to obtain a Dismissal prior to Trial.

AGGRAVATED ASSAULT DEADLY WEAPON
Case No. 882893 – Bernardo G.
DISMISSED DURING JURY TRIAL
Our client waved a cell phone out of his vehicle during an altercation with another motorist – an off-duty police officer – after both left a nightclub. He claimed the cell phone was a gun, but no weapon was found.

Being an individual with prior felony convictions I was almost certain about going back to jail for 2nd degree felony charges. But Mr. Haggard aggressively fought for me and I am convinced hiring him made a difference in my life. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of my case. He did an excellent job from the beginning. I’m very thankful to him & his staff for the professionalism and dedication to defending his clients. My family & I would like to thank him from deep inside our hearts & let him know that God is great for listening to our prayers & Mr. Haggard is great for being an outstanding, excellent attorney. Thanks to Mr. Haggard the case was dismissed.
~ Bernardo G.

AGGRAVATED ASSAULT DEADLY WEAPON
Case No.  923492 – Bobbie D.
DISMISSED DURING JURY TRIAL ON CROSS-EXAMINATION
Our client suspected her husband of having an affair with another woman, whom our client was accused of assaulting with a gun. Our client was incarcerated without the ability to make a bond, as her family chose to spend their available resources on her defense, hiring a successful trial attorney. Mr. Haggard won a Dismissal of the case during his brilliant cross-examination in the middle of trial when the Prosecutor threw in the towel and moved for immediate Dismissal.

I am very satisfied with the quality of workmanship of Carl Haggard. I was being locked away from my family on false charges. But I thank my attorney Carl Haggard so much on his professionalism on cross-examination. I would use him again. I thank God for you, Mr. Haggard!
~ Bobbie D.

As the case began, it was dismissed due to Mr. Haggard’s cross-examination!
~ Client’s Husband

AGGRAVATED ASSAULT DEADLY WEAPON
Case No. 1057589 – Cesar G.
NO-BILLED BY GRAND JURY
This assault involved a knife which was used by our client to inflict several wounds on the husband of a co-worker in self-defense after the husband falsely accused our client of having an affair with his wife. The Complainant and his brother were the ones who actually assaulted our client. Using witnesses and co-workers who knew of the background incidents leading up to the fight, which included Complainant’s stalking of our client, and witnesses of the actual fight, Mr. Haggard was able to prove our client used the knife in self-defense and obtained a Grand Jury No-Bill.

“Mr. Haggard gave me the best advice on witnesses and prepared me for the Grand Jury. You saved my life, Mr. Haggard and I’ll be forever grateful.
~ Cesar G.

AGGRAVATED ASSAULT DEADLY WEAPON
Case No. 768625 – Darinder S.
DISMISSED ON DAY OF JURY TRIAL
Our client was accused of pulling a pistol at a Pizza Hut and threatening the clerk during an argument. Several witnesses who corroborated our client’s innocence were discovered and statementized.

I was proud of how Mr. Haggard stood up for me on this false charge. He looked at my case very carefully & spent a lot of time. He even got my gun back for me.
~ Darinder S.

AGGRAVATED ASSAULT DEADLY WEAPON
Case No. 755449 – Hector T.
DISMISSED ON DAY OF JURY TRIAL
There were allegedly several witnesses to our client’s pointing of a pistol at a neighbor following a protracted dispute between the families. After an investigation by The Haggard Law Firm, several Pasadena Police Officers who knew of the bad reputation of the Complainant & his family were located. They assisted Mr. Haggard in convincing the prosecutors that their witnesses were not credible.

“Thanks to Attorney Haggard’s experience & tenacity, he was able to prove by way of investigation together with the Pasadena Police that this charge was false. The day of the trial, he succeeded in persuading the State to dismiss the charges. He fought for my family, for my home. I have my liberty. I am happy and grateful.
~ Hector T.

AGGRAVATED ASSAULT DEADLY WEAPON
Case No. 1004761 – Mario M.
DISMISSED
Mario was with a friend who got into a fight. Mario was not involved in the fight but grabbed his father’s broken, unloaded B-B gun and brandished it only, in an effort to break up the fight and protect his friend. At the time of this charge, our client was on probation for Burglary of Habitation.

ASSAULT, BODILY INJURY
Case No. 1728081 – Rebecca R.
DISMISSED February 18, 2011
Rebecca’s career as a long-time flight attendant for Continental Airlines was put in jeopardy when she was charged with Assault.  She was suspended unless/until the charge was dismissed.  She was a wronged wife who just couldn’t take it anymore.  After her husband had engaged in a protracted affair, and after Rebecca had humiliated herself to the point of begging the Complainant to leave him alone to allow them to work on their marriage, [the Complainant had even pursued him to the extent of moving one mile away from their house], her husband assured her he would end it with Complainant in person – and would allow Rebecca to listen in by phone. He took Rebecca to Complainant’s place of employment and went into a back room with Complainant “to end it”.  Rebecca waited anxiously for the promised call from his cell phone to listen in and hear it for herself.  The call never came.  At length she observed them emerging from the back room and her husband giving her a goodbye hug.  She lost it and we leave details of the assault that ensued to your imagination.  Two wrongs don’t make a right yet a major thesis of our defense was a passioned arguing of the egregious circumstances leading up to this “crime of passion”.  We also employed other tactics we have learned to be successful in winning Dismissals in such cases and were able to save her career with Continental Airlines.

ASSAULT – BODILY INJURY
Case No. 1692729 – Andrew Y.
DISMISSED by our First Court Appearance August 9, 2010
This was a case of self-defense in which the Complainant aggressively and obnoxiously confronted Andrew in a restaurant where Andrew was having dinner with Complainant’s estranged wife.  Embarrassed, Andrew asked Complainant to step outside where Complainant escalated the aggression to the point of inflicting visible and painful injuries on Andrew.  Andrew threw one well-aimed blow to Complainant’s  face after which Complainant called police.  Andrew had left the scene but willingly and calmly returned when police called him on his cell phone.   We documented Andrew’s injuries with photos.  We had two witnesses for our side vs. one alleged witness for Complainant  but who never even left the inside of the restaurant.  We moved quickly to gather the necessary evidence and were able to obtain a Dismissal from prosecutors by our first court hearing.

ASSAULT BODILY INJURY
Case No. 1611607 – Tiffanie N.
DISMISSED October 16, 2009
Tiffanie was a working nurse, a surgical tech student and a responsible single parent who was charged with Assault while at Element [club] when a fight broke out involving one of her group.  Her participation amounted to attempting to break up the fight and protect her friend.  We had several eyewitnesses for our side who later got to tell their story – police listened to no one except the Complainant – who was intoxicated and had a criminal history.  Besides eyewitness testimony we argued an astonishing number of stellar letters of recommendation from the Vietnamese community and further presented the glaring inconsistencies in Complainant’s statements to police.

ASSAULT BODILY INJURY
Case No. 1472559 – Omar G.
DISMISSED March 13, 2009
When Omar was arrested on two felony charges he had three open warrants which landed him in jail with five cases, of which this Assault charge was one. He intended to plead guilty since he had broken the nose of Complainant and didn’t feel he had any defenses. Omar had driven his truck into a ditch while intoxicated; Complainant was the wrecker who tried to tow it.   Mr. Haggard told him, “Not so fast on the guilty plea.”   Our defenses included the wrecker driver’s vandalizing of Omar’s truck stacked on some aggressive plea bargaining due to the number of offenses with which he was charged.

Carl Haggard really fought for me.  I was facing 15 to life.  He hanged tough for me and my family.  Also he got two felony cases dismissed and two felony cases reduced to misdemeanors with back time pleas.  I went home to my family! He’s the greatest I’ve ever seen.
~ Omar G.

ASSAULT BODILY INJURY
Case No. 1479384 – Maria M.
DISMISSED
While shopping at Fiesta, Maria ran into her boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend, who taunted her.  Maria’s daugher was present and, enraged at the insult offered her mother, attacked the ex-girlfriend.  Maria tried to break up the fight but was charged with taking part in it.  Our defense included presenting Maria’s involvement in this light rather than as one of offensive assaulting as alleged.  Preserved store surveillance camera footage helped us in this part of our defense.

ASSAULT BODILY INJURY
Case No. 1171866 – Keith H.
DISMISSED ON DAY OF JURY TRIAL
This fight began as road-rage between our client and another motorist which spilled onto the side of the road after they had both pulled over. There were several witnesses, including those in retail establishments near the incident, and our client’s own children. Mr. Haggard bench-warranted our star witness out of the Federal Detention Center. This effort paid off and Mr. Haggard got the case dismissed on the day it was set for Jury Trial.

ASSAULT BODILY INJURY
Case No. 1332938 and 1332939 – Ike & Geraldine R.
JURY TRIAL VERDICT: NOT GUILTY
Our clients were a well-educated married couple, a Harvard MBA and a Registered Nurse, accused of assaulting the wife’s employer over a pay dispute. At first it appeared to be a “two against one” assault with our clients’ guilt at fact. The wife was pregnant and sustained injuries during the fight. Mr. Haggard’s thorough cross-examination of the Complainant, his witnesses, and police revealed numerous discrepancies in their stories, proved the blows thrown by our clients were in self-defense and defense of each other, and convinced the jury of our clients’ innocence.

What Mr. Haggard states in his advertisement is true. It was impressive to see how he conducted himself during the entire trial. He stood by his words at all times and worked for us all the way. I strongly recommend his services to any one who needs a good and experienced attorney.
~ Ike R.

ASSAULT BODILY INJURY
Case No. [Expunged by Mr. Haggard]  A.C.
DISMISSED ON DAY OF JURY TRIAL
Our client was an attorney charged with assaulting another attorney. Mr. Haggard, a triple-certified Mediator/Arbitrator, used his mediation skills to work out an agreement acceptable to all parties.

I am a licensed attorney and I asked Mr. Haggard to represent me. Mr. Haggard provided excellent legal advice & zealously represented met. Thanks to him my case was dismissed.
~ A.C.

SEXUAL ASSAULT – RAPE
Case No.720091 – Charles O.
COURT TRIAL VERDICT: NOT GUILTY
This was a one-witness rape case, but the relationship was consensual. A very difficult decision was in waiving a jury trial and trying the case to the Judge. Mr. Haggard in his cross-examination brought a number of important discrepancies in the Complainant’s story to light and our client did not have to testify.

During a time when my legal issues placed me in an all or none situation, Carl Haggard was there for me. He guided me through and represented me in a professional and personal way, always being honest and informative with me. Thanks to Mr. Haggard I got 15-20 years — with my family!

Case No. 857865 – Pamela B.

Our client was a licensed security officer. While under the influence of an illegal substance, our client brandished her service revolver during a police confrontation. The prosecutors were pushing the jury for a felony conviction with a severe sentence.

My husband is a police officer and I was a licensed security officer and he’s the best attorney trying cases we’ve ever seen. I am very pleased about the great job Mr. Haggard has done, his devotion & dedication. He’s a great trial lawyer. We call Mr. Haggard “The Hammer.
