Juvenile Law In the News

Houston Criminal Defense Attorney Carl Haggard represents juveniles and youthful offenders charged with crimes in Harris and surrounding counties.

Houston Criminal Defense Attorney Carl Haggard is a former Chief Prosecutor for the Juvenile Courts and understands from his experience as Chief Prosecutor how these courts are run. He turns that now to the benefit of our youthful offender clients who need experienced representation in running the juvenile court gauntlet.
