The firm’s philosophy is based upon a solid understanding of the law. “An attorney must consider all factual and legal parameters as well as the practical and emotional implications that exist,” states Cartwright. “We provide our clients with options,” adds Alagood. Cartwright says, “By exploring and explaining options, clients can make informed decisions.”
“While our practice includes federal, statewide and out of state legal matters,” Cartwright expounds, “we provide North Texans with quality legal services through close personal attention.” Consultations with Alagood & Cartwright are always with a licensed attorney. “We treat people the way we want to be treated,” explains Cartwright.
Alagood & Cartwright is pleased that the majority of clients are referred by other clients and attorneys or are former clients with new matters. “In the end,” Alagood explains, “the important thing is that the client’s matter was handled properly, professionally, and the client was an informed part of the process.”
