For more than 30 years, Gene Hagood, along with his partners at Hagood, Neumann & Huckeba, LLP, have used one word to guide their practice with success: work.

“We outwork everybody,” Hagood says. “That’s just the truth. I believe cases are won on preparation, and if you know your clients, know the case and know the law, you are in a position to prevail.” He adds that, “Most of the important work takes place long before we enter the courtroom.”

Hagood and his partners represent clients in cases of serious and catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death matters pertaining to products liability, medical malpractice, premises liability, toxic torts and motor vehicle and construction accidents.

“We work diligently, investigating cases from every angle, and while doing so, make sure that we maintain a balance of dignity, respect and sensitivity towards our clients,” says Hagood.

Hagood has no fear of the courtroom. His aggressive litigation skills as well as his ability to analyze and research cases, has earned him the respect of his peers.

“We are prepared to take each and every case to trial should it come down to that. I believe our courtroom experience is what sets us apart from other firms,” says Hagood. “We are not afraid to fight for our clients.”
