Stephen E Garner

Mr Garner is a compassionate, caring attorney, very smart and knowledgeable. He did a superb job at representing me both during my wait time, and before the disability judge. He kept us informed at all phases of the case. I would happily recommend him to anyone!

Thank you, Judy. One of our core values is that we care about our clients and their futures. You are not just a case to us; you are a person with a problem. We try our best to guide our clients through this unfamiliar legal territory as we seek justice together.

Great law firm

My lawyer Stephen Garner handled my accident claim, SSDI claim and my LTD claim. He was upfront with what he thought he could or could not do for me on my claims. He took his time when talking with me to explain things to me in a way that I could understand. The staff treated me with respect and made... me feel welcomed. I was extremely happy with the outcome he helped me receive. I recommend this firm as well as Mr. Garner to anyone who is facing accident claim or SSDI claim. You will have a excellent lawyer representing you.

Thank you, Kimbly. We strive to treat our clients the way we would want to be treated. We always want to show you respect, compassion and attentiveness. Most of our clients are unfamiliar with the legal system. We want to be sure they know what to expect, explain it all in understandable terms (without all the legal jargon) and demystify the process. It is so very rewarding when we can help good people like you in their pursuit of justice. We really appreciate it when our clients take the time to do a review and recommend us to their friends and family. These actions, along with returning to us as a repeat client, are the ultimate compliments that can be paid to a law firm.

Questions about Social Security

Mr. Garner answered all questions that were asked. Also was able to guide us in areas needed to be addressed to help to be able to get Social Security benefit. There is no other attorney I would use, when it comes to Social Security.

Thank you Marilyn. I am so happy we were able to win your case at the Reconsideration level. Most Social Security cases take considerably longer, however, your solid work history, supportive doctors and your thorough answers on the Adult Disability Report paperwork made a compelling case for disability. We strive to autograph every case with excellence, and helping good folks like you get justice is so very rewarding.

Car Wreck

We hit a Full size lifted pickup truck at 50mph when he turned left in front of us on the bypass in Carrollton. Both vehicle were totaled. Grandson and I were both taken by ambulance. No life threatening injuries surprisingly, considering our little car to his big truck but still several months of th...erapies on feet and back. Very scary when you don't see anything and then wham your life flashes before your eyes. The owner of the truck never reported to his insurance that there was an accident so his insurance company refused to pay. I had to use our insurance to pay off our car and cover some of the medical bills along with my personal health insurance. After 3 weeks off yelling at the Auto owners Insurance that I had personally sent them the accident report myself and it clearly stated their client at fault with 2 witnesses and the owner of the truck telling the officer it was his fault because he thought he could make it. How can they just ignore my claim? Their response was "unless my client claims responsibility we will not pay a dime" searching there reputation online I took the next step and started looking for attorneys. Mr. Garners fees were reasonable and he handled my case very professionally. It was a great relief on me when we hired Mr. Garner because I wasn't getting anything but the run around from the Insurance Co. and the mean time my bills were piling up quick. He sent a certified letter to the owner of the truck that he had so many days to report to his insurance or he would be personally responsible. Along with a letter to his Insurance. He and his staff helped keep the bill collectors of my back and from sending the bills to collections while the insurance company drug their feet. They went back and forth but Mr. Garner was able to get us all a reasonable settlement with out having to battle it out in court. If he wasn't in the office his staff was always able to answer any of questions I had immediately. I had access to his email so I could send documents with a link instead of trying to find someone to drive me to his office to deliver them. This made it very easy on me to communicate and get bills to him. I am very happy I hired him because I know that if I had not I would be paying these bills instead of breathing easy and not having to worry where the moneys going to come from. I would like to say that I he met with us on a Saturday morning for the first visit so that both my husband and I could meet with him. He has also came in on other Saturdays just for us to sign papers. I have never had an attorney that would be willing not much offer to do this for a client. thank you Garner and Murphy.

Thank you, Paula, for taking the time to tell your story. I am glad we were able to help your family through the run around people often get from the insurance companies. I am also glad the ladies in my office were able to keep you informed and answer your questions whenever I was out of the office. They have all been with me a long time and can usually address your questions. But when they cannot, I strive to reply to your communications within one business day of receipt, whether it is by phone call, e-mail, text or meeting with you in person. And I understand it is hard for people who are working to get in to see me during our regular hours, so I try to be flexible and meet after hours or on Saturdays. We try to go the extra mile for all our clients because we know there are lots of attorneys to choose from and we always want to make you glad you chose us.
