Multi-state representation. Attorney Michael A. Haggard is licensed to practice law in Florida (State Bar of Florida, 1996) and is admitted to the U.S. District Courts for the Southern, Middle, and Northern Districts of Florida. Because aquatic-injury, drowning, and premises-liability cases demand nationally-recognized expertise, Mr. Haggard regularly represents families throughout the United States through pro hac vice admission or in association with locally-licensed co-counsel — a standard, court-approved practice for cases of this specialized nature.
