Hire Brian C

Please hire Brian C. For many reasons, but most importantly - he will work with you to ensure that you get the best possible legal outcome along with working on changing your life to make sure what ever happened doesn’t happen again. This means, you need to work with him as well and on your self. You... do that, he will ensure the results are met. I got into legal trouble, but end of the day - there is no complaint filed, and records are expunged. This is the best outcome one can expect. I didn’t have to appear in court even once. Thanks to Brian.

Best Criminal Defense Lawyer in DFW

Brian guided me through the entire 3 year process. He represented me in court, helped me achieve early release from probation, and continues to help me repair my record. Brian is always quick to respond to calls and emails. Even though he is essentially finished representing me, he continues to answe...r questions I have from time to time. Brian Corrigan is an excellent lawyer and I highly recommend him.

Top Notch

Mr.Brian is very professional and very committed to helping his clients. He fought for me and got my case dismissed and expunged. I couldn't have dreamed of a better lawyer.

Brian got me out of HUGE trouble..

I found Brian on Avvo. One factor that has lightened the load through this painful journey was how easy it is to communicate with him. His openness to correspond with me through text message has made it very convenient for my busy schedule, and I'm sure as well as his. The consequences for a convicti...on that I have initially been charged with (Manufacturing / Delivery) could have landed me 10-99 years in prison. After anxiously waiting 2 years for the case to be submitted to Grand Jury, Brian used this time to get my life story as well as suggest things for me to take care of early (classes, etc). I've spent countless times at the courthouse meeting with Brian until the DA finally offered to drop the charge to a Class A Misdemeanor with 2-year deferred adjudication. No jail time served if completed successfully. This type of charge was not eligible for expunction (complete deletion of your criminal record) but it was eligible for a nondisclosure. I had a successful completion of the deferred, the judge cut the probation off a year early, and Brian helped me submit a Petition of Nondisclosure which has been granted this week! YES! I will not be labelled with the dirty word "felon" as it has been reduced to a misdemeanor, and now even THAT will be hidden from the public eye. Thank you Brian, you practically saved my life and I can live it without worries with my wonderful wife and future family.

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!
