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.
