Thanks to Brian. My case is expunged!

A year back Brian got my assault case dismissed very quickly. Brian followed it thru and got the expunction at the first opportunity. Brian is an excellent Lawyer who gets the job done and keeps you informed. Thanks to Brian for helping me get my life back on track.

Simply the best

Brian was the first one to respond to my inquiry while searching for a lawyer in Rockwall area and was hired immediately to handle my case of Class B misdemeanor and also Expunction. Since this was my first (and I hope last) run in with the law I was pretty scared. Brian put me at ease with explain...ing all the steps of the process and was there for me every step of the way. Brian is an excellent attorney and that seems like an understatement. Brian is simply the best and I highly recommend him.

Class-B misdemeanor & EXPUNCTION

Brian is one of the best responsive attorney I have seen. He is prompt and clear communicator. Keep us well informed and always available when requires. He help us on Class-B misdemeanor and also granted EXPUNCTION. I highly recommend him.

Brian Corrigan and my Weapons in Prohibited Area Case charges dropped and expunged.

I am here to recommend Brian Corrigan for any case that you may have. Last New Year's Eve I went through airport security and forgot that I had a switchblade knife from my knife collection in my backpack. I was arrested at the airport and my case was considered a "Weapon in Prohibited Area" offense.... This is a Class C Felony. It is not illegal to have a switchblade knife in the house but it is illegal to carry a switchblade. I had no intention of bringing my switchblade onto the airplane whatsoever. I did a lot of research and read that Brian Corrigan had great reviews for getting the best possible outcomes for clients' cases and for working well with clients. Those reviews could not have been more true. This was the first (and hopefully last) time I had to hire a lawyer. Brian Corrigan made the process as painless as possible. He was always timely in his responses, kept me informed all through the process, and made me feel comfortable and at ease the whole time (because a possible Class C Felony is life-changing). Brian Corrigan was first able get the charges for my case dropped. I was therefore never formally charged with a Class C Felony. He then got the case expunged so that the records show that I was never even arrested and that this case never happened. This accident turned into a possible life-ruining event is now not even recorded in the system. This is just a memory. I cannot express how thankful I am for him getting my Class C Felony case expunged. I absolutely recommend Brian Corrigan and I would not think twice about using him again in the future.

Brian is the BOMB!!

I was charged with Class B Misdemeanor and that can have some serious implications. However after making one bad decision I made an EXCELLENT decision of hiring Brian to represent me. He had all the charges dropped even before the 1st Court Hearing by working with the DA. Additionally he got me an... Early Expunction. I met Brian in May 2013 for my case and all the charges plus Expunction were done by Mid-SEPTEMBER 2013. He was patient, awesome and supportive throughout the time providing us all the details and next steps. I would recommend Brian in a Heart Beat. When my case happened I went and met 5 Different attorney's. The reason I chose Brian was based on the first 5 mins of my meeting with him. He held me accountable for my actions but then also committed to me that he will do everything to help me based on my situation. That is what made me believe in Brian and based on the results and timeline I am surely a happy camper. Thanks again
