Fred O. Haiman – Founding Attorney
Fred was born in San Bernardino, California, to an Air Force family while his father was serving in the Vietnam War. Fred spent his early years traveling to several military bases before his father retired. His father moved the Haiman family back to El Paso, Texas, where they took over a family business.
Fred graduated from Eastwood High School in 1982, where he played the trumpet in the marching, symphonic and jazz bands. After high school, Fred started his collegiate career competing in collegiate rodeo, riding bareback bronco, and playing rugby for Southwest Texas State University, where he was selected for the Texas Select Team his senior year. He graduated with honors with a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice in 1986.
After college, Fred moved back to El Paso and got married. That same year, he joined the El Paso Police Department where he worked until 1994. While working shifts as an El Paso policeman, Fred finished his Master’s Degree in Public Administration from the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). During his time with the police department, Fred worked as a patrolman, academy instructor, background investigator, and in traffic enforcement. In 1992, he was transferred to the Chief’s Office and worked in Special Projects, which was a select team that designed and developed the Regional Command Center concept that the El Paso Police Department still uses today. Fred left in 1994 to go to law school, and after graduating from Texas Tech University School of Law in 1997, Fred spent the first 10 years of his legal career practicing as a trial attorney.
In 2007, God got Fred’s attention by almost taking his life due to a disease call Ulcerative Colitis, which resulted in a botched surgery and ruptured intestine. After that near-death experience, 6 surgeries and 8 months off work, Fred decided to completely change his law practice to an area where he could truly help people. He left the stressful pace of litigation and went to work for a small boutique firm that focused on Estate Planning and Elder Law in El Paso, Texas.
In 2013, Fred moved The Haiman Law Firm to Allen, Texas, before merging with Rex Hogue to create Haiman Hogue, PLLC in 2016. One of the driving forces to move to the North Dallas area was to give his daughters, Ashton and Shaelyn, a better education. They flourished thanks to the Prosper Independent School District. Ashton will graduate from the University of Alabama in 2024, and Shaelyn is currently attending the U.S. Air Force Academy. One thing a near- death experience will do is help put life’s priorities in place, and for Fred, his number one priority in life is FAMILY!!.
