Katheryn Heather Haywood

She defended me against baseless accusations by the Dallas police department and the crooked DA’s office, who decided to try and convict honest hard working citizens from the word of a 3 time convicted felon. She spent countless hours preparing witnesses and testimony and all the while giving me comfort and reassurance that we would get the case taken care of. She made the prosecution look like the joke it was and won the jury over while doing it. I could not recommend her more than I am right now. Don’t hesitate to call her for your legal needs

I got myself in a lot of trouble 14 months ago, and I have had a dark cloud hanging over my head since then. Katheryn made every effort to consult with my mother and I to remove a charge today that was a complete misunderstanding that might have potentially ruined my life. She is prompt, attentive, responsive, and I am absolutely grateful for her due diligence and compassion for helping me get my life back on track.

My husband was accused of a terrible crime he did not commit and we needed to find a good lawyer. We met with several well-known lawyers and chose Katheryn Haywood. We are now sure that God Himself helped us in this choice. Katheryn is a true professional with extensive experience. Her irrepressible energy and desire to understand our case to the smallest detail simply amazed us. It was very easy for us to contact her and we always got answers to all our questions quickly. After six months of litigation, our case was won before trial. God forbid anyone find themselves in a situation where you need to look for a lawyer, but if this happens, then do not hesitate to contact Katheryn Haywood.

I cannot say enough about Katheryn, her professionalism, understanding, and care for my daughter, who found herself in a very tough situation. The judicial process is long, draining, and takes its toll on all involved. Katheryn kept us informed, guided us through the process, helped us to make the right decisions and always keep her spirit up for us - when we needed it. I cannot thank her enough for how she represented my daughter, the outcome, and joy that has returned to our lives. Much Thanks!

I can say without a doubt that my family has gone through the worse nightmare any parent can face. A child accused of a major felony with a high chance of prison time carries an enormous, emotional toll and Katheryn was our guiding beacon throughout the long, legal process. We knew nothing of the legal system, it’s jargon or rules, and Katheryn took us through all the steps with patience and a realistic understanding of what we were up against. From day one of meeting Katheryn and hiring her, she became our child’s lawyer and voice, showing toughness and a fierce tenacity when she fought for what was right and needed to be addressed, a compassionate heart and emotional support when it felt as if our world was falling apart, and an amazingly, keen understanding of the law. We were always kept in the loop of any developments, and Katheryn always answered our questions and texts quickly. We saw how Katheryn is respected and well known in her profession. There was an obvious mutual respect among the officers in the courtroom, to the department heads, to the prosecuting attorneys and the judges and Katheryn. I dare say Katheryn is even feared a little in a world where most of us regular people hope to never be a part of. I cannot describe my gratitude and appreciation for Katheryn. She fought for our child and cared for our child like a cherished, family member and we will always be grateful for Katheryn. I remember Katheryn telling us she would keep our child safe….And she kept this promise to us. Our world could have drastically changed, but Katheryn made certain our child’s future and life was protected.

Kathryn took over my counsel just before indictment. As most people outside of the justice system I had no idea about the process. She walked me through every step of the way. She had a tremendous amount of accuracy of what she thought would potential happen. She was able to get information extremely quick that my other attorney could not obtain. Communication was top tier email, phone and signal. Just before trial we buckled down and did mock examination and cross examination. Ultimately, by the strong arm of Kathryn, the courts buckled and dropped 3 state felonies to a single misdemeanor through a plea.

Ms. Haywood was assigned by the court as my pro bono counsel. She listened to my concerns and was able to quickly negotiate a plea deal that would allow me to keep my disability benefits. The results exceeded my expectations. Ms. Haywood is truly an advocate for those who struggle with mental health.

Katheryn was an amazing attorney every step of the way. She makes you feel like you are her only client, and is always prompt to respond. Not only is she tough, she's incredibly compassionate as well. Can't recommend her enough!

She is hands down the best lawyer. We were so stressed with our case and she made the whole process so easy we didn't even have to step foot in the court thanks to her. I would recommend miss Haywood to everyone with legal issues. Don't look any further.

Words cannot describe how grateful we are to have Katheryn Haywood represent our child in a sexual assault case. Our life went from a normal and happy life to an instant nightmare that we had no idea how to fix/control. Knowing how serious our case was, we had an emergency consultation on a weekend. After hearing our child’s story, Katheryn immediately knew she wanted to take our case. Katheryn took our child under her wings as if she was representing her own child. What our child was accused of was a crime that had a sentence from 25 years to 99 years without parole. Imagine that if you’re a parent. Katheryn took it head on day by day. For us, each week that passed by seemed like a year had gone by. Katheryn kept us in the loop throughout the whole ordeal. She answered any questions we had, replied to all our emails, and FaceTime/Zoomed us with any major news/updates. Katheryn was very straight forward with anything that was happening. Katheryn knew all her angles of this case. Katheryn knows how to work and is well respected by the Assistant DA, Head DA, and the Judges. Katheryn was able to reduce the “Highest” felony charge to a Misdemeanor. This case could have lasted more than a year, but it concluded in about 6 months. Katheryn is our miracle. She put her heart and passion into our case. We would have been lost without Katheryn. Katheryn gave us and our child a gift, a second life. Again, words cannot describe how grateful we are to have worked with Katheryn Haywood!

Having to hire an attorney for your child is not a fun experience. From the first moment I spoke with Katheryn, she was great! She took the time to explain everything to me and answer all of my million questions. She truly cares about her clients and their families as they go through this process. She is extremely professional and knows what she is doing. I highly recommend her!!

Ms. Haywood was exceptional in her delivery and demeanor throughout the case. She also communicated with our family with any needs or answers to questions that we may have had. Thank you to her and her team of people who truly helped walk us through the mess with such a blessing. We appreciate all the time and efforts you helped provide for us and the confidence you helped give us to see it through.

I was having a hard time trying to find a lawyer because I had never been in this position before. I was being accused of Assault Bodily Injury Family Violence. Class A Misdemeanor in Dallas County (My First Offense Ever) (No priors). I was able to talk to her and she really believed in my case and my truth. From beginning to end she stuck by my side for two years, she became my lawyer right before COVID hit. There was so much uncertainty. I never stepped into a jail. She always answered all my questions. She doesn’t let anyone push her around. She’s their to fight for you and you’re freedom. So much so that we were gonna go to trial. But one week before trial we got the outcome we wanted. We received a conditional dismissal from the DA, we are able to expunge and clear my name and record. This is something that she would not back off from our entire case together. If it wasn’t that, we weren’t taking it. She gave me life back and happy this is over with and I can move on. Highly Recommend.

Miss Haywood is an angel on earth and she truly understands and looks beyond the outer layer of someone. She did everything in her power to help my son with his case. Even though he got some time it is still a win for me because his young adult life won't be taking away from him! If you are looking for a compassionate yet firm and honest she is definitely the attorney you need! Thank you again for your service

Through the ups and the downs this woman stuck by my side and fought for me she cares genuinely god is good Thank you so much Ms Haywood you rock always ‼️
