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.

I was charged with a crime that seemed totally ridiculous and unbelievable to me. However, the police report, though full of untruths, was convincing to the DA. I felt totally helpless and hopeless in the face of the charge and the DA's willingness to believe it, no matter how unlikely. Then I hir...ed Mr. Corrigan. He was very respectful to me at all times; patient with my many inquiries, and positive, yet honest about the possible outcome. I have, unfortunately, had to deal with 4 lawyers lately, and he was by far the most responsive and supportive of all of them. The final outcome was the very best that I could hope for.

No nonsense straight shooter (DWI)

Finding an attorney after having gone through some legal trouble is highly unsettling. You're asking yourself, "Will they win my case? Will they charge me an arm and a leg?". Well, after 100's of postcard-style mail outs, letters and attorneys clamoring to defend you I took to the internet. I called ...about 6-7 different law offices to get a feel of they would represent my case. When I called Brian, he picked up and assured me he would give me the best recommendation for my case and would do everything in his power to keep me on the road after my DWI stop. He quickly sent off a request for an Administrative License Hearing (ALR) and won that. Because of a refusal and subsequent blood draw, my case took a long time (Dallas county). Brian kept me informed throughout the process and had me preemptively take DWI education classes and a Victim Impact Panel (Mothers against drunk drivIng). Although my case was a slam dunk off the state, Brian did an excellent job in getting me a reduced probationary period (no community service) and minimized the severity of a bad situation. Having completed my DWI classes has helped me with my probation and the officer is impressed with my progress. Brian was an excellent hire and someone you should consider if you want someone that will tell you the truth about your case, but still do all he can to get you the best results. I would recommend Brian 11/10 times. Thank you for helping me!!

HIRE HIM AND YOU WILL NEVER FEEL LIKE JUST A NUMBER!!

I am extremely impressed, grateful, and inspired by Brian Corrigan!!! As I sit here pondering the words that could possibly do this man justice I find myself struggling to begin. Brian like no other lawyer I've encountered. He really cares for people. But most importantly he has integrity. A ...characteristic that has no doubt gained the respect of those who know him. Due to his years as the DA's Chief justice he has established meaningful and for his clients helpful contacts in the courts. The day I learned of my complications with my case I was referred to him. To my surprise he returned my call that day, after working hours, using him cell, on his way home from a long day in court. I hired him that day. The next day he was in front of the judge pleading my case for me .The issue was resolved in less than four days. He reassured me and answered my same question over and over without even a hint of frustration or annoyance. He even took time on his weekend to talk me down. My probation officer was amazed with the success he achieved on my case. If you hire Brian you will never be treated just a number!

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.
