Awesome lawyer!

Harris was assigned as my public defender. I didn't pay him one dime and he fought tooth and nail to get my case taken care of in a very acceptable way. He goes above and beyond and he knows every single prosecutor and DA personally and has a good relationship with them. I was so impressed with ...Harris' work ethic and his confidence that he could resolve my case, which he did! He is my Saul!

EXCELLENT JOB!

My (Son's Dad) got into some serious trouble. Agg Assault - Deadly Weapon. Pretrial "plea bargain" was no bargain- the DA would consider nothing except TDC and even said NO PROBATION. Attorney Wood fought them (that is when the gloves came off so to speak)... We helped him and he helped us to develop... the self defense claim that finally caused the DA to dismiss it on the day we were set for trial. He can finally come home to his baby boy!!! HIGHLY recommended. "

Excellent , Highly Recommend

I got into some serious trouble. Charge was 3G Aggravated Assault Deadly Weapon. Pretrial "plea bargain" was no bargain- the DA wanted me to sign for ten years TDC and said NO PROBATION. Judge said no to probation too! Attorney Wood fought them through a jury trial and convinced the jury to do the ri...ght thing, and they gave me another chance- five years PROBATION. I know this was not easy but he did it. I Highly recommend !

AN AWESOME ATTORNEY!!!

Mr. Harris Wood Jr. is a very educated, down-2-earth, and professional of the law. He was prompt at returning calls & text and he put in work during my Aggrivated Robbery Charge, that was set for a speedy trial, however it didn't make it to trial & was later dismissed. I would most definitely recomme...nd Mr. Wood's expertise to anyone who may need his assistance. I know he wouldn't disappoint you because he's straight up with no chaser. Thanks again Mr. Woods. God bless you and your family.

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."

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
