Great father & son team

Micheal Haggard represented me when other lawyers couldn’t do the job. Micheal & his secretary always answered calls and kept me informed. Hiring Micheal came along with team of powerful attorneys including his father. I highly recommend.

One of the best attorneys in Florida

As a previous client of Michael Haggard, I can't imagine making it through the trial process without him by my side. He fought, not only for me, but to make a change in a mobile home park, for the other residents that lived there. Mike has become family to me, and I could never thank him enough f...or representing me as a client, and genuinely caring about me as a person, as well as encouraging and supporting me through one of the toughest parts of my life.

Skilled, professional litigator and trial attorney who never stops

I have had the pleasure to work with Michael on a number of cases. What really stands out to me is not just the level of expertise and the rate of success on behlaf of his clients....it is the fact that he fights to make a positive change long after a case has been resolved. He has fought for new law...s to make pools safer for young children. He implores the security and property management companies who are usually defendents in his cases to stay up to date with their security procedures to protect residents and visitors to a variety of properties.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Mike is the number 1 trial lawyer in Florida. Two verdict of over $100,000,000 should solidify that status. He takes bad cases and makes them good. Quite simply the best."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
