The Best You Will Find

I can not praise Brian enough for the amazing outcome he was able to provide. Prompt response to any and all communication, professional, and very kind hearted and understanding. Brian was able to help when many others couldnt. He was very knowledgeable and his past as a prosecutor give him a 1 up ab...ove others. When looking for a criminal defense, you definitely want a previous prosecutor, as they know what it takes to build a case. I am forever thankful for Brian and what he was able to achieve for me. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of criminal defense. I know that if needed, he is the only one I would call.

Stop Looking, Call Brian TODAY

I was charged and tried for aggravated sexual assault of my 4 yr old daughter in Rockwall County. My first lawyer told me my life was ruined. Then I retained Brian! I gave him emails and texts from my daughters mom, which I thought showed she was behind all the accusations and charges. Brian too...k that knowledge and then scrutinized the ex's statements and counselor reports. Every witness the state brought, Brian SHOWED how the information was tainted. I sat in amazement as he dismantled the state's case. NOT by trickery! BUT by facts that he had uncovered in his preparation! To say I owe my life to Brian is an understatement! But of coarse I'm biased. BUT 12 jurors of Rockwall County are not! AND Brian convinced ALL 12 that I was NOT Guilty! In Rockwall County with a child testifying that's unheard of! I owe Brain a debt that money can't buy! But my life is a testimony to job Brian did!

Thank you, Chad. The case never made sense from the beginning. I am glad the jury saw the truth. You are now a free man!

Best investment ever. Best lawyer ever.

Had a horrible experience with another lawyer that I had already paid retainer and awaiting to see if the lawyer at the time could get what I wanted accomplished. Did not get anything done for 2 years and had me showing up.... Just to reset the case.... then when I told him I wanted it done..... he a...sked for another $5000. Was always late. I never saw him at court house when I went. He sent someone else. And they where always late... 1 to 2 hours late. So I told him I'm looking for another lawyer. Started searching my area to find a good lawyer with good reviews. Saw Brian Corrigan in rockwall tx had 46 positive reviews! Wow! He has to be good... and he was awesome! Started working on it right away. Scheduled meetings to talk about case. Showed up to every court setting.... very organized. Talked to DA all the time to achieve what I wanted. Told me what he recommended cause he knows the system and law very well. I can see he loves his job and cares.... thanks Brian!

Brian exceeded my expectations!

I was charged with a felony in Collin County. A charge that would have destroyed my career. Through the recommendations of friends in the legal business and after reading his AVVO reviews I hired Brian. During our first meeting Brian laid out the legal process for me step by step. He also let me know... his goal was a no bill of the charges. At all times during my interactions with Brian he maintained a high level of professionalism, knowledge about my case and a commitment to get me the best possible outcome. He stayed in constant communication with me throughout this process. Fortunately, the charges were rejected by the DA’s office. A better outcome than expected. Thank you Brian!

Experienced, Knowledgeable, Connected, and Responsive. Brian Corrigan is the Real Deal.

I made an honest, but admittedly stupid mistake during the process of moving to the North Dallas area. After changing travel plans at the last minute from rental car to a flight out of Love Field, I forgot to check one pocket in my backpack - that contained my firearm. Charged with "Place Weapons Pro...hibited," a Class 3 Felony, I was extremely worried about my future. Being new to the area and not knowing many people here, I had no idea which attorney to choose for help. After doing some due diligence including reading online reviews, I chose Brian Corrigan. His experience as a prosecutor in Dallas County unquestionably made a difference in my case. Brian took the time to patiently explain my situation, the prosecutorial process, and the potential outcomes. As I had no prior criminal history, I was extremely nervous and full of questions throughout the process, but Brian's confidence in a good outcome in my case was reassuring. Brian was always easy to reach via phone or email - he was very responsive. After having had nearly universally negative experiences with attorneys during the previous 8 years in an estate dispute, Brian proved to be a very pleasant surprise. His flat fee was an absolute bargain considering that he was not only able to get my case "no-billed," he was also able to get my large fine from the TSA reduced tremendously. I really couldn't have hoped for a better outcome. If I ever end up in trouble with the law again (God forbid) in the Dallas area, I wouldn't even think about calling an attorney other than Brian Corrigan.
