THE BEST LEGAL FIRM IN HOUSTON.
~ Tocus T.
I have nothing but good things to say about Mr. Haggard’s work. He took my case out of state, and I had a case with a lot of external complications, some that I know most other lawyers might not have put the same effort and commitment into digging into and properly addressing. Mr. Haggard was very responsive and candid about the possibilities regarding my potential outcomes. His law firm put in the extra work to get the best possible outcome for me, which was a dismissal and now undergoing an expungement. This was the right outcome, but it took a lot of extra work to get us there.
I recommend Mr. Haggard to anyone needing good and diligent representation.
~ BC.
If you ever need a criminal defense attorney who will get you the result you are looking for, look no further. The first time Mr. Haggard went to court with me, it felt as if lightning struck the courtroom that day. All I kept hearing was dismissed.
Final result was that fourteen charges were dismissed out of fifteen charges that day. I highly recommend Mr. Haggard and can never thank him enough.
