About William
Biography
From the time he was a football player at the University of Memphis to arguing on behalf of his clients today, William Hagan III of The Collierville Law Firm has thrived in highly competitive pursuits. After earning an honors degree in finance from the University of Memphis, he graduated from the University of Memphis Law School in 1991. Bill began his career performing federal criminal defense work before switching his legal focus to civil matters. In 1996, he helped to establish the firm of Hall & Hagan, which later developed into Hagan & Patterson. Today, as the owner of The Collierville Law Firm, Bill brings more than 24 years of experience and dedication to a wide range of practice areas, including family law, personal injury, criminal defense and business law.
Bill is a well-known presence in the community, with unusually high visibility and access. Bill maintains close, cordial relations with the local law enforcement establishment. In his practice, he focuses on delivering personal, one-on-one attention.
As further proof of his integrity, Bill has attained a high rating from the Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings, an objective indicator of a lawyer’s ethical standards and professional ability.
Bill still likes the challenge that comes from a good fight. Today, instead of a victory on the football field, his goal is swift and fair justice for the people he represents.

Bad Timing, Bad Temper, Defensive
I agree with the other reviewer that Hagen yells if you question him and becomes defensive. I asked for his services around the holidays. He and Bren started out very friendly and reassuring. Because I was not in the same town they had to send me contracts to sign through the mail. They could ha...
William Hagan
Replied last March 21, 2019We have gone through our client files and cannot possibly figure out who this might be. If this is a past client I would ask that they reach out to me directly to discuss their case. I will certainly try to do everything that can be done in accordance with the law to fight for my clients and their children when I am retained to do so. Please see my other 5 star reviews in family matters.”

Not the right temperament for family law
As with the other reviews, Bill Hagan has a very hot temper and was very easily angered when questioned. He was pleasant until we paid his retainer, then he quickly became very slow to respond to calls/emails and was overtly aggressive if I disagreed or even wanted further explanation about how he wa...
