A superb family law attorney

I asked a friend, who worked with the Virginia Beach court system, for a recommendation of a family attorney. My friend said the best attorney she has seen in the court is Richard Garriott. Based her recommendation, I hired Mr. Garriott and have been completely pleased with his work. My case is di...fficult with several complicating circumstances. He has been able to handle the challenges of our case and he has been highly effective. I have appreciated that he clearly communicates the legal process and our options, and I think he has shrewd judgment. He has a very commanding presence in the court room and it seems clear he has the respect of the our judge. I am glad to recommend Mr. Garriott to others.

Avvo Rating

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.
