Michael Haggard leads the Haggard Law Firm in Coral Gables.

What does making an impact mean to you?

It means everything. Whether we like it or not, lawyers are looked at differently in our society. We are looked up to, we are looked to when there is trouble in society and we are expected to be agents of change in society. While I love practicing law and trying cases, the more profound and positive impact that I can have on society is what I believe will ultimately be my legacy.
