Hagood & Neumann, LLP

Profile

With more than 30 years of experience, Gene Hagood brings a formidable reputation to the courtroom. “I’m driven to represent people who are injured and families who have lost loved ones,” says the trial attorney, who co-founded Hagood & Neumann, L.L.P. with Bill Neumann in 1997. For the sixth year in a row, Hagood has been named to the Super Lawyers® list, perhaps a reflection of the doggedness he demonstrates on behalf of his clients. “I do not want to leave one stone unturned,” he says. “I don’t want to miss anything, because it may affect the outcome of my client’s case. The folks I represent deserve it.”

AREAS OF PRACTICE

Hagood and his colleagues at Hagood & Neumann, L.L.P. represent clients in serious and complex personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits, including products liability, medical malpractice, premises liability, toxic torts, motor vehicle accidents and construction accidents.

JUDGMENT AND EXPERIENCE

At Hagood & Neumann, thorough preparation is the key to favorable outcomes. “We do whatever it takes,” Hagood says. “Working weekends, working at night. Whatever it takes to get it done right.” According to Hagood, that level of preparation allows attorneys to be proactive, and enables them to make strong and careful decisions as their cases progress. “Our reputation as outstanding trial lawyers puts additional pressure on our opponents to settle cases on favorable terms,” Hagood says. “And our familiarity with different kinds of personal injury cases means that we can look beneath the surface of a claim to identify as many avenues of recovery for our clients as the law will allow.”

CREDENTIALS

The Texas Board of Legal Specialization acknowledges Hagood as a board-certified personal injury trial law specialist, and Martindale-Hubbell® awarded him the highest AV rating. He is an advocate in the American Board of Trial Advocates and senior counsel in The College of Master Advocates and Barristers.
