Great attorney

Mr. Lagman was hired to solve a custody case. He did a great job all the forms, responses, motions were filed on time and promptly. He represented me at the court with great experience and professionalism. He is available for communication and his legal rates are fair priced. He managed my case with... grace. Recommend this lawyer.

Me. Lagman is a Good Lawyer

I first hired Mr. Lagman back in 2002-2004 I believe to handle a Probate case. Well I got into my feelings and did an awful thing just blaming everyone. But he did a great job on my case. He handled my case with the utmost respect and dignity. He filed and answered all Motions in a timely matter. He ...filed motions that were needed to win my case. Things didn't move as fast as I wanted to because during that time I didn't understand that cases like the one I had do take time so I ended up discharging him which was a big mistake. Henry Lagman is a good man as well as an Attorney.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2006.

Reprimand issued in AL, 2006

updated on 07/03/2019

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the State did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Henry’s comment:

“Thirteen years ago a client failed to pick up a file from my office. I discharged him because of non-payment. The Bar stated I should have mailed him his file and forfeit my attorney lien. Never was paid.”
