I am a Harvard educated criminal defense lawyer with over a decade of experience representing individuals charged with crimes. I am passionate about criminal defense. It is my privilege to represent clients and to force the government to act with strict compliance with the Constitution and the rules of criminal procedure. I will go to any length to protect my clients' rights. I fear no man, and absolutely love fighting it out in a courtroom.. Oftentimes, I discover law enforcement errors in how they handled an arrest or investigation. I discover many of these errors in the area of search and seizure. When properly litigated, Motions to Suppess can lead to cases being dismissed. I have years of experience handing search and seizure issues, and I can use my knowledge to your benefit.. Forcing the prosecution to turn over all of the evidence is another tactic which I maximize for my clients' benefit. I pride myself on knowing my clients' cases inside and out. Cases are won and lost in the details. I can devise unique strategies for defending my clientss cases because I am intimately familiar with all of the facts of the case.. I strive to remain supremely prepared for each stage of my clients' cases. I achieve this by staying in constant contact with my clients, thoroughly familiarizing myself with the facts of each case, researching the law to develope strategies, and by filing motions. If and when the case goes to trial, that is my strength. I love jury trials, and have had many successes in the courtroom, including a not-guilty in a murder trial.. Please call me and we will discuss your case, for free. I can provide insights and share with you my impressions on how best to fight your case. I look forward to your call.

Carl Haggard

Firm: Haggard Law Firm
1217 Prairie St. , Houston , Texas 77002
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
I am a Warrior, an Advocate, a Knight in Shining Armour to my clients. I have the scars of battle to prove it, the humility gained through combat to never take the opposition for granted and to always be prepared. We who defend the Citizen Accused must never forget that we hold our client's lives and fortunes, their very future, in our hands. My Sword of Advocacy was honed from the time I began High School Interscholastic Debate Competitions in 1963 and continued through Law School Moot Court Competitions. For almost ten years I tried cases and trained young prosecutors. Now, I put that experience to work for my my years with the Harris County (Houston) District Attorney's Office in two administrations from 1975 to 1985, I coined the phrase "Trial by Ambush" where the worst cases (from the D.A.'s standpoint) roll downhill to suddenly confront the Number Three Prosecutor who "needs the experience". The Haggard Law Firm has fought against the government for the rights of Free Men and Women since 1991. I have learned through experience the meaning of the words of Plato: "Justice means minding one's own busniness and not meddling with other men's concerns."

Ben Pearce

Firm: Greco Neyland, PC
701 N. Post Oak #425 , Houston , Texas 77024
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
Ben Pearce, has been a pivotal member of Greco Neyland PC from its foundation. Jumping into practice with the seasoned defense attorneys and former prosecutors at Greco Neyland, Ben quickly set out to prove his merit.. Ben is a lifelong Houston resident, and is the first member of his family to become an attorney. He worked his way through college where he would graduate from the University of Texas, Austin with a bachelor’s in Economics and a double minor in Psychology and Business Administration.. After finishing undergrad, Ben attended law school at Thurgood Marshall School of Law back in his hometown of Houston. Capitalizing on a merit-based scholarship earned from his undergraduate accomplishments, Ben was set out to prepare himself to hit the ground running once his inevitable graduation and licensure came to pass. After his first year of law school, Ben started an internship with Attorney Dustan Neyland. This opportunity allowed him to assist on serious cases, a far cry from the hypotheticals presented in the classroom. Such cases included the successful suppression of over 100 pounds of marijuana, not guilty trial verdicts, and practical appellate research.. As with any attorney at Greco Neyland, an understanding of what it takes to prosecute a case is paramount. Ben earned a coveted spot in the Thurgood Marshall School of Law’s academic externship program with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office. Throughout his final year of law school, he gained practical knowledge of the inner workings of criminal prosecutions.. Ben strives for his goal to provide equality under the law at every opportunity for his clients. From the moment he set out for law school his mind was made up, he wanted to work on matters of substance and have a true impact on the lives of his clients. Of course, nothing matters more than arguing cases that deal with a person’s freedom. He knew he had to become a criminal-defense lawyer.. Ben has found particular aptitude in utilizing the grand jury process to find success for our clients. A process avoided by many attorneys as they decry it a waste of effort which actually requires a defense attorney to work and not just “show up” to court. By breaking down complex and voluminous cases into straightforward presentments, Ben has been able to yield many positive results on cases where prosecutors relied upon quantity over quality of evidence.
