Great guy, great lawyer

After a several-year long battle with workers comp, my next battle was with social security for disability. Everyone told me that I need a lawyer, because the process is a mess. I was denied twice for benefits, and Mr. Garner came highly recommended, so i figured I'd try him out. With him, the proces...s was easy, I was approved, and even after the decision and he was paid, he still was helping me it ( social security somehow messed up my paperwork, negatively affecting my monthly income). He's a great guy, and a great lawyer. Thank you Mr. Garner.

Great Godly lawyer and friend!

Despite losing my husband and the father of my two young children, Stephen and his team did everything that they could to make sure we received what was deserved in this wrongful thing that happened. He's a good lawyer and represents his firm in a Godly manner!

No more TV attorneys!

My experience with Murphy and Garner was nothing short of amazing and relieving! I had originally went with one of those television attorneys that make big promises for all of your pain and suffering. Unfortunately, after months of waiting and a lot of tedious paperwork, those promises dwindled whe...n my case needed more effort. I decided to call Murphy and Garner and I'm glad that I did. Stephen Garner handled my case. He patiently listened to my grievances and when it was time to fight for me he went above and beyond what I had expected! Not only was I compensated, but` it was fair! Murphy and Garner handled my case with dignity and integrity and they proved that they are not only honest but very knowledgeable in their field. If you want someone that will take the time to listen to your concerns and that is trustworthy, I would highly recommend Murphy and Garner. If I ever need help again, Murphy and Garner will be my first stop.

Thank you, T. We are glad you called us too! Unfortunately, many of the TV lawyers are more concerned about the volume of cases they handle rather than getting fair value of their clients' cases. Over the last 33 years of practice, I have heard many horror stories about people who hired the lawyers with the slick commercials on TV and were disappointed with the lack of personal service and attention given to their cases. Jingles and catchy slogans don't win cases. When people are looking for a lawyer, I recommend they do some research. Ask your friends. Check out their reviews online. See what their reputation is in the legal community by going to their web site and checking for awards and honors that have been bestowed on them by their peers. Call around and talk to several lawyers. Interview them - because they will be working for YOU! Lawyers who will listen to you, work hard for you and will use their experience and expertise to fight for a just and fair resolution of your case are the ones you should hire - not the snake oil salesmen screaming and making big promises over the airwaves.

Awesome Attorney!!!!!!!

My husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease and had been turned down for disability. Mr. Garner told us when he took our case the best case scenario and the worst case scenario. He turned it around so quickly, he exceeded even his best case scenario! He was very attentive and knowledgeable.... We couldn't have asked for a better experience. I wouldn't recommend anyone else! Thank you, Mr. Garner!!!!!!

Alesia, we appreciate your kind words. We try to make sure our clients know what to expect in their cases. Some severe medical conditions, such as Parkinson's, can be established as disabling through the Listing of Impairments. The Listing of Impairments describes, for each major body system, impairments considered severe enough to prevent an individual from doing any gainful activity. For the conditions clearly covered by the Listings, we will often have the treating physician complete a form early in the process describing how the claimant meets the severity requirements. If it is supported by their treatment notes, those are cases where we can get a quick and favorable decision. We are so happy you did not have to wait too long to get justice in your husband's claim.

Stephen E. Garner, LLC rates a 5 Excellent rating as our lawyer! He is the be Attorney in Georgia.

Mr. Garner looked over a case we had won in a previous case. It was to complicated for us to understand. He gave us his indications on where we should go next. We took his advise. He then made a phone call with us in the room to the people involved. We identified ourselves as did he. He then wa...s able to handle the problem legally involved and clear up all the problems between us without any other disagreements. The problems were solved. The secretary was able to type in the necessary words to correct everything. The papers were then faxed & the problems were solved. We also had our living wills and person wills done to our satisfaction. We drove 2 hours to this lawyer because we knew him to be a fine lawyer and man!!!
