Aggravated Assault and Criminal Mischief charges - dismissal Tarrant County
Katheryn represented my son when he was accused of assaulting his girlfriend and causing damages to her car. The girlfriend told a very convincing story about how she feared for her life, which won the sympathy of the police. Katheryn was able to expose this girl's history of making false allegations when she felt jilted, and she finally admitted she made up the whole story because my son had ended their relationship. Katheryn was wonderful about keeping in contact with us from beginning to end, about explaining what our rights were, and expressing a sincere concern about my son's situation. The case was dismissed and we have been able to move on with our lives, thanks to her.
Assault Causing Bodily Injury; Assault Family Violence; Harassment - all charges dismissed Dallas County
Katheryn is a very wonderful person and lawyer. She has represented me on 4 different cases. All four cases were dismissed. I had two cases on the same day, with the same judge and the cases were dismissed. Very unbelievable. She is a very sweet down to earth person but a very hard no nonsense type. I would recommend anyone to her but be ready to hear the truth!
Sexual Assault (rape) - No Billed by Grand Jury Tarrant County
There aren't enough positive words to describe our experience working with Katheryn Haywood. From the first minute that our family met her for consultation to hearing the words that the case had been dismissed, our encounters with her all demonstrated her caring, professional and reassuring demeanor. We were referred to Katheryn by another attorney that we trusted and every bit of our expectations were met and even exceeded. She explained the process and didn't over promise but she did deliver as our case was dismissed. Our family highly recommends Katheryn Haywood should you or one of your loved ones need legal representation. It was obvious to us that she has a great reputation in our community andt the respect of her peers and superiors. And, she certainly has ours!!!
Aggravated Perjury - 3 charges Jury Trial: Not Guilty Raines County
At age 49 years old I found myself in need of a criminal defense attorney for the 1st time in my life. After personally interviewing at least 6 others, I decided to hire Katheryn H. Haywood. (She was not court appointed) This was an easy decision and one that I HAVE NOT 2nd guessed. I found Katheryn to be intellegent about law, courteous, kind and sympathetic to my plight, professional, punctual and informative to my needs, and MOST OF ALL, a believer in my innocence in the truest sense of the word, during the entire 18 month ordeal. On the other hand, I observed Katheryn's actions in the courtroom, and outside as well, towards the prosecutor in particular, to be extremely aggressive, hostile, forceful, fiesty and MOST OF ALL, unbending, with absolutely no compromise or plea considered. Katheryn had the voracious appetite of a wild, uncaged African lion to bring out the truth and expose the corruption against me by the Rains County Attorney at my trial. Katheryn knew the huge distinction between INNOCENCT and NOT GUILTY. In conclusion, Katheryn believes in the American Justice System, but at the same time is realistic to the fact that there is corruption in that system and there are individuals representing that system who will exploit their power to further their own careers at the expense of others' lives, liberties and justices. Katheryn is HONEST ABOVE AND BEYOND REPROACH, and I claim her as a friend for life. With Katheryn as my attorney, I was found "NOT GUILTY" on 5/7/08, PRICELESS
Statement by Prosecuting Attorney:
Ms. Haywood is an extremely competent professional. I was particularly impressed with her methodical approach to both understanding the issues and recommending a path that best suits the situation. She was exceptional at keeping us in the loop on even the tiniest of details. I highly recommend Ms. Haywood to anyone looking for a trusted and competent professional.

Mrs. Haywood, is currently representing my husband in a criminal case. As this is our first time needing a lawyer for anything, Katheryn has allowed me the mindset of trusting her judgements and leaving it all in GODS hand. She has been there for us every step of the way and I can really see her passion for her job when she is in action.
Online Solicitation of a Minor Reduced to Lesser Included Offense; Sentence = Probation Collin County
Ms. Haywood represented my spouse in a case that was initiated by the Assistant District Attorney. The case was severe in nature and Ms. Haywood, was always professional, stated the facts clearly and at the same time was able to take our family into consideration. If I had a question, Ms. Haywoood was available and continues to assist us through the probabation period. My spouse was not charged at the original offense which would have impacted our life dramatically especially the outlook of the community. I am forever in Ms. Haywood's debt. Ms. Haywood always to into account our marriage and treated us with respect.
Felony Chief Assistant District Attorney Tarrant County
Katheryn is a genius in the courtroom. Some people just have a knack for trial, and Katheryn is one of those. On top of that, she is conscientious, gets along well with others, and extremely intelligent. In short, she is a very talented lawyer and anyone would be lucky to have her representing them. I have been a co-worker of Katheryn's since 1999.
Judge, Dallas County
Endorsement: I endorse this lawyer. Katheryn is a brilliant strategist and a fearless litigator. Her voir dire is without a doubt the best I've seen in 30 years of practice. Simply stated, if a member of my family needed a criminal defense lawyer, she is the first and only attorney I would call.
