Michelle Lugo is by far one of the best attorneys I have ever had the experience to work with. Ms. Lugo represented my nephew when he was removed by CPS and did an amazing job in ensuring that he received the best representation. Ms. Lugo truly fought for the best interest of my nephew and was very dilligent in doing so, and it is my belief that the legal case’s end result was directly due to her representation. Ms. Lugo has a particular knowledge of working CPS cases which can be hard to find when searching for an attorney in regards to a CPS matter. If you are looking for an attorney for any matter I would highly recommend Ms. Lugo as she is by far the best attorney I have ever encountered.

Michelle is Great to work with. She made sure she had all evidence before speaking with the judge. She was straight forward with everything and exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend her services.

Dawn was referred to me by a family member and was highly recommended. From the beginning, she was up front and honest with my family and me. Our case lasted over a year and during that time it was evident that not only was Dawn an excellent attorney, but she has morals and heart, which is not typically synonymous with attorneys. She fought hard for my family and me, and we were able to get a very favorable outcome.

I hired Dawn on a referral from my family law attorney. My ex previously lost child custody of our children to me and was trying to punnish me through the criminal justice system. She filed false charges of harassment so to have the criminal justice system do her dirty work. The local police dept. should have done their job in throwing her complaint out, but didn't. Dawn, knowing many of the prosecutors simply showed them there was no evidence of any harassment and had the case dismissed before going to trial. Thank you Dawn for your experience and professionalism.

Dawn Hedlund was appointed to me at a very scary time in my life. I was being charged with a DWI. Up until that point, I had never had any run-ins with law enforcement and my working knowledge of the law and legal process was subpar at best and I was incredibly fortunate to have been appointed Ms. Hedlund. As far as first time experiences go, I could not have asked for a better one. After my arrest, I was in limbo. Hung over my head was a cloud of uncertainty that would remain from the initial arrest date until the final resolution (which Dawn won). While the situation was scary, Ms. Hedlund was there every step of the way, always able to articulately explain the entire process to keep me informed and always ready to answer any questions I had (and I had many, adding “most patient person ever” to her list of accolades.) Ms. Hedlund is a true master at her craft, professional and passionate; respectful and caring. It is clear Ms. Hedlund knows the legal process inside and out and always her client’s best interests in mind. The decision to go to trial was mine to make and a difficult one. I was extremely fortunate to have Ms. Hedlund go through all the facts for me to make an educated decision and even further fortunate to have her as representation during the trial. I can’t think of any other situation where I was as nervous as I was sitting through trial. Dawn fought hard during trial and it was admirable to watch someone performing with such mastery. Her mastery put my fears at ease. It was a lot like jumping out of a plane for the first time while strapped in with the flight instructor, I was terrified but at the same time confident I would make through because there was someone on my side with a lot more knowledge than I had. Ideally, I hope to never require legal services in the future, but if I ever did or needed to recommend one to anyone I know, I would highly recommend Ms. Hedlund. Ms. Hedlund's fine understanding of law, professionalism, courtesy to her clients, combined with her knowledge of the ins and outs of the Collin County Court System are the reasons I strongly recommend Dawn Hedlund.

I was arrested for DWI. I got pulled over leaving a party in 2015. It took 7 months for this to finally come to a resolution. Dawn filed a Motion to Suppress the case because she felt that the police officer who pulled me over had violated my rights and had no legal justification to do it so. During the hearing, Dawn was very well articulated at getting her points and reasoning across to justify the suppression and she WON! She was very honest with me from day 1 after seeing all the evidence and put on the table all the possible outcomes to my problem but also she did her best on fighting for me, always going the extra mile. She responded to all of my emails, calls and text messages in a timely manner if I ever had a question. After several months were able to finalize my case beyond my expectations. I would recommend Dawn to everyone who may end up needing her services.

I hired Dawn Hedlund to handle a citation that had a more severe impact on pending family court matters than the punishment that the ticket itself held. Dawn is very knowledgeable and very wise. She is keen on the ways of city prosecutors and was able to negotiate accordingly a deal that included a less serious charge with a lighter punishment that had no effect on my pending family court case. Additionally, she was able to negotiate the fee for the new charge/citation down to something that minimally impacted my financial situation. Dawns fees were reasonable and fair. I recommend Dawn Hedlund for anyone looking for legal defense at the city level. I only limit this recommendation based on my experience, but would definitely call Dawn on other legal matters in the future, if needed.
