Posted by Aileen | October 19, 2016 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Outstanding lawyer and very professional

Brian was an excellent lawyer. He greeted us warmly, listened to all our concerns and professionally walked us through everything we would need to know for my husband's DWI. He explained everything that would happen and what we could expect (from worst case to best case scenario). He always kept u...s informed and worked to the best of his ability to see the outcome would be a positive one. He advised my husband on what he needed him to do on his end, such as counseling and classes, and promised (and delivered) to do everything he could on his own end. The outcome to my husband's case came out better than we could have imagined. We greatly appreciate all that Brian was able to do and we would highly recommend him.

Outstanding service

He is very thorough. He explained things about my husband's case step by step, what may happen even if it wasn't the outcome we were looking for. He never made promises about what would happen either. He was able to keep my husband from being tranferred from Tn back to Tx on a 14 year old warrant. He... kept me up to date on all information he had regarding the case and if we had questions and messaged him or called him he responded quickly. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Corrigan to anyone looking for an attorney.

I never felt out of the loop, and he took care of everything

Searching for an attorney to represent you in a DWI case can be very overwhelming. I received dozens of letters and emails from DWI attorneys. I'm lucky that I came across Brian on Avvo. I gave him a call and he responded back within the hour. He gave me information straightaway, and we set up a meet...ing at his office. He was very straightforward from our first meeting and represented himself professionally, and I was provided with very reasonable quote estimate. The thing that really won me over was the steps the he said I needed to take on my own. He provided me with information on educational classes, victim impact panels, and counseling services I needed to attend. I did everything that he suggested in hopes that the court would see that I was taking steps to makeup for my actions and change my behavior. Brian filed a Motion to Suppress on my behalf, and the outcome of my case was much better than I could have hoped. Brian was thoroughly prepared in court, with multiple plans of action depending on the prosecution. Because of him my First Offense DWI case was dismissed, and will be expunged from my record. I am very glad that I selected him to represent me. You can't go wrong with Brian Corrigan!

Very knowledgable with great attention to detail!

Our mentally ill daughter was facing felony charges for an action done due to her deteriorating mental condition. We hired Brian based on his excellent ratings on avvo.com and he proved to be just as knowlegable and thorough as the reviews indicated. When Brian met with us, he explained all the step...s of the legal process, an area which was absolutely new to us. Despite his busy schedule, he always returned our calls. He prepared a very thorough package for the grand jury, explaining our daughter's background, medical records and current medical treatment. We are very grateful that the grand jury dismissed the case and we can now focus on our daughter's recovery. Thank you Brian for helping to keep our daughter on a path to recovery. We'd wholeheartedly recommend Brian to anyone needing legal help. Many thanks!!!!

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!
