Tremendous Delaware Attorney

I had an EXTREMELY serious traffic violation in New Castle County and John helped me with the case. Mr. Garey did everything he could to get my case dropped but I had other very serious blemishes on my driving record. The result he obtained was the best possible outcome and since that I have had no o...ther run ins with the law, traffic court, etc. My situation would have been much worse without Mr. Garey's help. I totally recommend him.

An awesome attorney .

He listened well at what I presented to him. He did his best at negotiations. I felt that I was represented responsibly. I would highly recommend to anyone who has a legal issue.

No comment!

I went to mr. John Garey on a previous matter regarding a serious crime that I've been up against for many months now. While acquiring information from him he was very much to say the least impervious, listless, deattached procsecuter now an attorney I have met. Very cocky about his pride and knowled...ge within his law experience, less to mention his arrogance within himself and the innocent people who come looking for a proper yet respectable, hard working, determined council who is going to do there job as an attorney correct. With that I'd say I would NOT recommend mr, John Garey to ANY family, friends nor innocent people like I who are looking for the right representation. John Garey is none less willingly up for the battle of the case you come in with but more for and about the money.

A good counsel.

I was impressed with the outcome of my case. The one charge I was most concerned about was greatly reduced. I would recommend Mr Garey to anyone that requires a great negotiator. My only concern was not calling me as he said he would.

Serious criminal felony

I have seen many lawyer and no question this one is the best. I have watch many cases. He win almost all of his. So john being the winner of the best 100 trial lawyer is justify. We had a difficult case and very serious case. Do to his argument skills we got the case thrown out. I was watching anoth...er case of his, he got attended murder drop. Remember these are serious cases. So if you need best presentation. John is the best in his class. He takes every case very personal as it was his war.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
