I had an amazing experience with The Haggard Law Firm! From the moment I reached out, they made me feel welcomed and cared for. Nancy, the case manager, was incredibly sincere and truly took the time to listen to all my concerns. She made me feel heard and understood every step of the way. Carl Haggard is an exceptional attorney — highly professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated. He worked diligently on my case and was able to show the DA that there was no probable cause. Carl proved that I wasn’t a criminal and ensured my name and rights were protected. I am beyond grateful for their compassion, expertise, and hard work. If you’re looking for a criminal defense attorney who genuinely cares and gets results, I highly recommend The Haggard Law Firm.

Attorney Carl Haggard worked tirelessly on my case throughout. He and his assistant Nancy, treated me like family, and were always responsive and supportive. When we went into court I felt confident Mr. Haggard had everything in order. His questioning of witnesses on both the plaintiff and defense side was immaculate. He clearly painted the plaintiff as dishonest and myself as innocent of the charge of assault. His communication to the Jury was simple and clear cut. He instilled a huge reasonable doubt in the Jury's minds. With a quick decision of 6-0 Not Guilty verdict returned in one hour at trial. Carl knows how to Win, even when he is put up against two DA's working against him in trial. He told me we got a good jury. He was hesitant to say "we will win" to keep my expectations reasonable of any particular outcome. Mr. Haggard knows the law and he knows exactly what he is doing. I am thankful for both He and his assistant Nancy, and God for them both, throughout this entire case.

I can't say enough about the exceptional service I received from Carl D. Haggard and his team, especially case manager Nancy Oquinn. At 60 years old, with no prior legal trouble, I was wrongfully charged with felony Burglary of Habitation after trying to reclaim my own family home in Katy, Texas from squatters. Despite calling the police and receiving permission to enter, I was arrested and humiliated for removing my own belongings. Mr. Haggard quickly took control of my case—reviewing police footage, gathering receipts, and proving the property was mine. He’s straightforward, honest, and committed to getting results. He told me what to expect, and he did exactly what he said he would. Thanks to him, my case was dismissed, and justice was served. If not for Mr. Haggard, I believe I would’ve been railroaded by the system. I’m a federal employee and a surviving military widow, and this experience was traumatic—but The Haggard Law Firm guided me through it with compassion and expertise. Forever grateful. Highly recommend! — S. Robinson

*** update 1/28/2025: I received an exceptional outcome from hiring Mr. Haggard a couple years ago; since then, I've had to reach back out to Mr. Haggard for some follow up assistance. After years, I received attention and support as if I paid the retainer yesterday. At some point I felt bad and offered to compensate with gift cards or something because Mr. Haggard offered to help without charging me. Ironically, I'm dealing with other lawyers at the moment, and they don't seem to care, it's money first. I respect that to a degree, it's how they run their business. However, I'm proof that once you hire Mr. Haggard he cares about your overall outcome and the impact of your case beyond the specific issue that you hired him for. He continues to be the gift that keeps on giving. 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.

We highly recommend Haggard Law firm, quick to respond to our inquiry and guide us while my father was detained. They were able to help my father in a road-rage incident and obtain a no-bill from the Grand Jury after all the evidence was presented. Very thorough and dedicated, they made sure to keep us updated every step of the way.
