Grandson in trouble

When our grandson was arrested on school property with a useable amount of marijuana, we had no idea what to do or who to call. Mr. Wood was recommended to us and he helped us through a difficult process. He was straightforward and honest about our grandson's options and what he could expect. M...r. Wood explained the system to our grandson and was informative and responsive throught the process. He made no promises that he could not keep. Most importantly Mr. Wood gained our grandson's trust and made him truly understand the gravity of his situation; something we, his grandparents, had tried unsuccessfully to do. Our grandson holds Mr. Wood in the highest esteem as do we.

Honest, Straightforward & Zealous

He is smart, knows the system and the people who work within it well. The various agencies comprising law enforcement charge people with unwarranted, unjust crimes every day. The District Attorney's prosecutors win in about 95%+ of all cases in which a person is charged with a crime and are only to...o happy to get hard sentences, collect fees and fines from people who show up with no lawyer or an incompetent one at best. In addition to that there are no shortage of lawyers who only do it for the money and they know how to make the system work against you and for themselves with unnecessary appearances, resets without regard to the financial & time costs to their clients after collecting that initial retainer. At that point they don't do what they've said they would do because then they their acting only in their own best interest, shape-shifting into deceitful and clever liars. You're trapped, likely they've planned a different strategy for dealing with you and your case before you ever walked through their the door. One lawyer we consulted on one case asked for $3000 non-refundable paid up front, without ever looking at any evidence or even listening to facts or for that matter anything we had to say. As soon as that form of lawyer gets your money he/she will no longer treat you as a valued client but become abusive and treat you like a unwanted, cornered pet. My family dealt with two separate spurious cases brought by police, neither of which should have ever had charges filed and Mr. Wood handled them both efficiently with superb results. Only two appearances for each and at a reasonable fee. All charges dismissed in both cases. - Get Real Get Wood!

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."
