Hot off the press! Matthew McCarley and Matthew Haynie recently sat down with The Dallas Morning News to discuss two federal lawsuits filed last April with Jim Spangler of Spangler Law. The lawsuits were filed on behalf of plaintiffs who have been affected by Irving's alleged practice of detaining people for over 48 hours before they can appear before a judge, as well as transferring them to a second jail before appearing in front of the judge responsible for setting bail. Read the full story here:

Irving's new first appearance procedure faces challenges on multiple fronts, in the form of two federal civil rights lawsuits and new county jail intake rules set by Sheriff Marian Brown.

Kicked off 2026 by stepping out of our comfort zone with some creative activities: handmade Valentine’s Day cards and painting with a twist! Unsurprisingly, we’ve somehow managed to turn art into a competition 💌🎨

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. dedicated his life to the pursuit of justice and equality; principles that are still relevant today and efforts to achieve them are still ongoing. As we reflect on his legacy, we are reminded that progress is achieved through consistent action and that there is still work to do.

Today marks 8 years since Forester Haynie opened its doors. Back then it was just Jay Forester operating out of a small office in downtown Dallas. Then, Matthew Haynie decided to hop aboard the ship and sail into the unknown. Nothing is ever certain, except change. And as the years have come and gone, that is evident. But Jay and Matthew’s determination to be great has remained unchanged. And with the help of a great team along the way, our mission is still the same: equal access to justice for every person in America. Cheers to 8 years 🎉
