Best Criminal Attorney in America

Ed Garland represented me in a murder for hire, three counts of murder. The State was asking for the Death Penalty. Ed was perfection personified....he not only saved me from the electric chair, he persuaded the jury to give me one life sentence...l could have the death penalty, three life sentence...s, two life's or the least one life sentence. Years later he convinced the Georgia Parole Board to parole me. Because of Ed Garland, today l am a live Christian, and tax payer. I have thanked God many times for Ed.

Criminal defense lawyer | May 02

Relationship: Family member

"My father's skill and experience as a trial lawyer are unmatched. In his 47 years practicing law he has been listed in every top lawyer, super lawyer, legal elite, best lawyer, preeminent layer publication there is. These recognitions stem from the fact that he cares about his clients and works hard for them, possesses unbounded creativity, has courtroom skills that are legendary, and is afraid of no one. His skill in the art of cross-examination is well known, as evidenced by a quote from an order entered by a Federal Judge in North Carolina regarding a recent cross examination my father did of a government witness. The quote reads, “Defense counsel explored at great length and with absolutely devastating effect [the witness’s] character for untruthfulness. . . . In fact, this court has never seen a witness more thoroughly impeached. . . [Defense counsel’s impeachment of the witness] was devastatingly thorough and thoroughly devastating.”"

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.
