About The Haggard Law Firm

A firm built around crime victims

The Haggard Law Firm represents people whose lives were changed by a violent crime that should never have happened — and the families of those who didn’t survive. Our focus is negligent security: holding property owners and businesses accountable when their failure to provide reasonable safety allowed a shooting, stabbing, or assault to occur.

This is not a side practice for us. It is the heart of what we do, and it is why families across the country bring us their hardest cases.

Why we focus on crime victims

Too many crime victims are told that what happened to them is “just a police matter” — that there’s nothing to be done on the civil side. That is often wrong. When a property owner ignores known danger and someone is hurt or killed as a result, the law provides a way to hold that owner responsible. Pursuing those claims does two things: it gives victims and families a real path to recovery, and it forces negligent owners to make their properties safer for everyone else.

How we work

• Straight answers. We tell you honestly whether you have a case — before you commit to anything.
• Real investigation. We dig into the property’s crime history, security records, and what reasonable safety should have looked like.
• Trial-ready. We prepare every case as if it will be tried, because that is what produces results.
• No fee unless we win. You pay nothing up front, and our fee comes only from a recovery we obtain for you.

Leadership

The firm is led by Michael A. Haggard, the only plaintiff’s attorney in U.S. history to win three separate $100 million verdicts and a past president of the National Crime Victim Bar Association. Learn more about Mike Haggard →
