Mr. Hagood is one of the most well-known criminal trial lawyers in Texas with over 200 jury trials to his credit.

Mr. Hagood is a 1974 graduate of the University of South Carolina (B.A., History and International Studies) and a 1981 graduate of Southern Methodist University School of Law (J.D., 1981).

He never lost a first degree felony trial or capital murder trial in his twelve years as an Assistant District Attorney. In November 1994, he resigned from the Dallas County District Attorney's Office with the rank of Supervisory Chief Felony Prosecutor in order to enter private practice.

He enjoys a practice national in scope, having represented clients in Arizona, California, New York, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Virginia, Montana, Kentucky, and Georgia. His cases range from the high-profile federal white-collar offense or state murder case, to the businessman caught up in a DWI case. He is board certified in criminal law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and has tried over 200 criminal and civil jury trials.

Mr. Hagood returned to public service from December 2003 to May 2005 when he accepted an appointment by the Dallas County District Attorney's Office as the Special Prosecutor in charge of investigating and prosecuting the Dallas Police Department's "fake drug scandal" cases. Upon announcing Mr. Hagood's appointment as Special Prosecutor, the Dallas County District Attorney said that Mr. Hagood "is certainly one of the most exemplary trial lawyers in the State He is one of the best. He is a man of the highest integrity whose character is above reproach" (remarks of Bill Hill at the December 2, 2003 press conference announcing Mr. Hagood's appointment).
