Outstanding Attorney!

After meeting with Mr. Wood I felt that I was in great hands. He understood my situation, and communicated very well what could happen with my case. His advice and assessment of my case was spot on. Being familiar with the courtroom setting, he was very professional and interacted very well the fello...w lawyers and prosecutors. After only appearing in court twice, my case was dismissed. I would highly recommend this attorney!

Excellent Attorney

Harris was court appointed to represent my brother in law. He and his team did an excellent job. His attention to detail and dedication to this case was impressive and the outcome was great! I highly recommend Mr Wood to anyone needing representation.

Knows the law

Mr. Wood advised us very well on this case. He informed us of our rights and the best and worst case scenarios. I felt very comfortable with him and not judged. With his advice, we were able to get the charges dropped.

I hired Harris as attorney twice over the past five years. I found Harris to be very knowledgeable of the law and proceedings. He is very down to earth but very smart. He knows his way around the courtroom, and it is apparent to me that he has the respect of prosecuting attorneys and judges. I li...ked his advice, i liked his style, and most of all i liked the results he got for me. I recommend Harris and should I ever need a layer again, I will definitely call him.

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."
