Glad I could be of service, but sad that there was something that caused you to hold a “star” back lol ... maybe next time.

Attempt to distribute

I was arrested and charged with Possession with Intent > 400 gms cocaine. Mr. Wood worked his magic and was able to get my case dismissed the next setting after he filed his defense motions.

Wife of accused

Harris wood was a great attorney. My husband had 3 very bad felony charges and they wanted to file Hibitual 25 to life on him. And in less than a month Mr Harris wood got 2 of the charges dismissed completly and only 5 years on the last charge. He also kept me up to date on everything from begining t...ill my husband signed the papers. Thanks so verry much we apreciate it so very much. I recommend Mr Wood as an attorney. We may even hire him again for my husbands charge in another county.

Mother of Accused

My adult Son was arrested in Harris County and was appointed a public defender/court appointed lawyer. It was some serious trouble... he is classified as a "True habitual" and yet Mr. Wood was able to convince the DA that they really might not want to take it before a jury for various reasons. It was... a quick and no-nonsense affair. 5 yrs when he was facing 25-life, plus two other felony cases DISMISSED. Professional, compassionate, and insisted on explaining the law and allegations to me and his Wife too. 100% satisfied. Worth every penny of his fee.

Posted by anonymous | September 16, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Expungement

Charges Cleared! No Record!

My son made a bad dysfunctional relationship. One thing lead to another and I guess the police felt that they had to charge someone. Wood got it taken care of. Now, it is no linger on my boy’s record-complete Expungement. Wood may be a little impatient but he knows the system and he WORKS, for ...you!

Criminal defense lawyer | Jul 02

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Harris and I defended a mutual client together against a serious criminal accusation. Harris was appointed to the client after I had obtained a mistrial for the client and was removed without cause. The client wanted to keep me on the case, so I had to appeal my removal all the way to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals to get reinstated. After being reinstated, I managed to get a dismissal for the client, but only after Harris's hard work! During Harris's representation of the client, he immediately ordered the trial transcript and diligently acted in the client's defense. Harris also assisted the the client and I in getting me reinstated as his attorney. I have found that Harris's clients have no problem trusting in his ability and trusting in the basic fact that he really does care. I would trust Harris to defend my own family."
