Family Law

Awesome lawyer, Trail lawyer, and he makes you feel comfortable with his professionalism and experience. Garrick is definitely worth hiring and his clients hope he comes back from retirement when needing a lawyer. Garrick makes other lawyers look inexperienced or not caring. Garrick is confident and ...delivers success.

Not a Foreclosure Attorney

To my chagrin, he was pretty passive about the entire matter. I had to diligently monitor my case on the County website and advise him of conditions requiring immediate attention. When things were getting dark, his one adamant advice to me was to "get packing". With that, I took on the lender myse...lf by engaging my Congressman and the OCC. His office eventually advised me of "our" victory three months after I won the case on my own. I could have saved thousands of dollars had I known this sort of case either wasn't his forte, or that he had too many other family law cases, or that he is just winding down. I don't like to give a bad review, but these are just the hard facts.

Made it easy

Mr. Fox took the drama out of my divorce. He made sure all bases were covered and I felt that I had good representation. All paperwork was expediously submitted and processed and there was no chasing him down to get the job done.

Service Far Above and Beyond

I was caught up in the real estate debacle. Oddly, I could not get the bank to foreclose on my property. It was deteriorating and I was liable to be assessed for lack of repairs of the building. Mr. Fox, with great difficulty, got the bank to foreclose on the property, so I could move on. He had to ...drag them into court. This has taken a huge load off of my mind. Mr. Fox was extremely knowledgeable both of Florida law and of real estate procedures. I recommend him unreservedly! He both competent and easy to work with. A wonderful attorney!

Posted by Tracy | August 26, 2014

He took the time to listen

I called Mr. Fox for a free consultation(it actually was free) and after spending about 25 minutes discussing my problem, Mr. Fox told me that I was probably better off without an attorney. It would've been fairly easy for him to take my money and my case. Honesty can't be bought. Thank you!

"I endorse this lawyer. When you read attorney Fox's dozens of answers to consumers on Avvo, or his client reviews, or what other attorneys have to say about him, you quickly realize that attorney Fox knows the law and wants to help people solve their problems. Foreclosure law and other credit rights-related laws are often complex and difficult to grasp and understand. If that's your problem, then attorney Fox is your answer. If his office is anywhere near you, I recommend him to you."

"Garrick is very knowledgeable in many areas of law and I have had the opportunity to work with him in various. I recently had a mediation with him. He is very professional and extremely sensitive to the issues and feelings of the parties. As a Family Law mediator that is an added bonus. In my case he worked very hard to find common ground and my client and I were pleased with the progress in an otherwise fruitless mediation. Thank you, Garrick.."
