an expunction

Mr. Corrigan was very open and honest with me and my expunction case. He kept me informed and up to date with what was going on. Each time he made a proposal to the District Attorney, he kept me informed of the decisions and the time line

A Miracle Worker

I came to Brian Corrigan about 2 months ago when my boyfriend was arrested in New York City and was being extradited to Dallas, Texas for violating his deferred adjudication for an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. When I first started my research for this I found out he could be facing 5 to 9...9 years in prison. After talking to Brian Corrigan he reassured me that we were going to aim to get his probation re-instated in Texas, Brian Corrigan did one better then that with a lot of work he got him off with time served and no probation. You can only imagine how overwhelmed with happiness I was. Brian Corrgian is an amazing lawyer who went above and beyond to get my boyfriend the best deal possible he truly cares about his client and the outcome of the case. Brian Corrigan communicated with me and my boyfriend throughout the case and really helped us. We are forever grateful for his dedication and hard work , he gave my boyfriend the opportunity to start a new life. I recommend him for anyone going threw legal issues as he really is a miracle worker.

Beyond what we could have imagined!

Since I live in Chicago, I was a little apprehensive about hiring a lawyer without meeting him first. I found Brian on Avvo, and since he was a former prosecutor, I called him first, and, after calling a few other lawyers, chose Brian to handle my boyfriend's probation violation case. After discussin...g some of the suggestions other lawyers had made, Brian explained why the aggressive suggestion (that sounded good to us because it would have relieved us of jail immediately) was NOT a good idea. Turns out, Brian was right- being overly aggressive would not have given us the long term positive results we ended up getting. We had a difficult case- my boyfriend was charged with a felony assault while on vacation in Texas from Chicago, and got 10 years probation in 2008. Luckily, he was able to transfer his probation to continue his life in Chicago, and ended up in an incident that caused him to be arrested for several misdemeanor battery's (and resisting arrest) in Chicago in 2012. Though his misdemeanor case had yet to go to trial, the state of Texas came for him for violating his probation and extradited him from Chicago to Texas. This gave Brian TWO issues to deal with. It looked bad- we were devastated and thought my boyfriend might end up having to serve his probation sentence in a Texas jail. That's when Brian came to the rescue! With my boyfriend in jail and me in Chicago, everything had to be done with me over the phone- Brian kept me informed of every little change, idea, conversation he had with the district attorney in Texas and the district attorney in Chicago, and managed to get the Chicago case completely dismissed, and my boyfriends probation reinstated with NO extra time added, NO extra community service hours. Probation was reinstated with 0 strings attached. Since my boyfriend was arrested in Chicago, I picked up his wallet and clothes from the county in Chicago before he'd been transferred to Texas, so he was about to be released with no wallet, no clothes, and no way home. Brian was kind enough to let me mail HIM the wallet, and use him as a Texas ATM machine and arranged for my boyfriend to have a place to pick up his wallet so he could get a bus ticket back to Chicago. My gut was right with the first phone call I made, and as stressful as it was dealing with this case (for me and my boyfriend), Brian alleviated all our worries and pulled some magic tricks that were beyond belief. Now, not only is the Chicago case dismissed, and probation reinstated without contingencies, BUT Brian revealed that my boyfriends probation can be presented in two years for possible reduction in time AND when the time is reduced (because we will ABSOLUTELY get Brian on that), it's a felony charge that can be expunged from his record. News neither of us had any idea was possible. There are not enough stars to give Brian. He has helped us in ways we could not have imagined possible. Keeping me up to date when I'm so far away, helping my boyfriend understand exactly what is happening with his Chicago AND probation case, getting things to magically disappear (the misdemeanors AND news of expungment), and then getting things to appear in Texas from Chicago (wallet and money a la personal ATM) makes this man a magician of his field. So many thanks to him!
