Richard Ellis Garriott Jr.

Mr. Garriott is a polite and well polished attorney. In consulting with him I quickly noted his calm and professional demeanor. He is well connected within the legal community and is respected by his peers and judges. Throughout the process of litigation (including multiple court appearances) Mr. Ga...rriott executed a successful plan. He has a simple yet no non-sense approach and bolsters his case with the facts. This helped not only me but the other attorneys and judges to understand as well. Which helps the opposition and the judge to see his point of view and that aids in its concurrence. His ability to remain calm and focused greatly enhances his ability to explain and present his case. He has a tenacious, uncompromising and unwavering commitment to his clients and their best interests. Has the education, experience and personality to secure such. Litigation can be very a emotionally, financially and physically exhausting process. Through his experience, confidence, competence and excellent communication skills Mr. Garriott is able to shield his clients from some of this and make the processes a little easier for those he represents. I strongly recommend Mr. Garriott to all.

Just as most baseball games are either won or lost before the players ever take the field, the same is true for our case. I say "our" because my case became just as important to Mr. Garriott as it was to me. Mr. Garriott's preparation for my case ensured a victory before we ever stepped into the cour...troom. I wish I could find the words that would accurately reflect the awesomeness of his supporting staff. Mr. Garriott assigned a paralegal and two other supporting attorneys to assist in the preparation of my case. This aided in keeping my costs as low as possible and allowed for tons of knowledge and experience to be interjected into working my case. My case was a motion to modify custody and was a data giant. For the previous three years I had been diligently documenting every possible detail and gathering every shred of supporting evidence of my ex's attempts to alienate me from my children's lives. My case was further complicated by the geographical separation as I live several states away. I met with Mr. Garriott over the phone for our initial conversation before hiring him to represent me. Immediately after our meeting he went to work on my case. He and his team remained in close contact and kept me posted every step of the way. The day before our hearing Mr. Garriott laid out his game plan and described each possible outcome for the hearing. He defined what his grandslam would look like and I can assure you that Mr. Garriott hit his grandslam that next afternoon. I went from only seeing my children a couple times a year to having sole custody of them. The total cost was a little steep, but when you are fighting for your kids no cost is too high.
