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.

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.

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."
