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!

Mr. Fox and his office are miracle workers!

I went to Mr. Fox on the recommendation of a friend. It took Mr. Fox four years to finalize the negotiation of my house loan because I have unique circumstances. The man and his office (especially two of his Paralegals, Nicole D'Elia and Kelly Gilmartin the senior paralegal who did all the paperwork!...) persevered against the loan holder and finally reached an agreement in the negotiation that benefited everyone. (At the end, my file was almost a foot thick!) My case was favorably dismissed two days ago. Mr. Fox also helped us on an unrelated case out of the goodness of his heart. I recommend him and his office to everyone!

Will return to Mr. Fox for any legal issues everytime!

I came to Mr. Fox for help with what could have potentially been a very "messy" divorce. Mr. Fox helped me understand in general terms (not legal terminology) what my options actually were, and what I would actually be able to accomplish. Once I met Mr. Fox and we talked I knew that I would have an... honest attorney to help us! I have a child and Mr. Fox's top priority was to make sure that my child was taken care of and that the safety of my child was always top priority. At the start of the divorce I was a pretty weak mess and Mr. Fox helped me to realize that this would not accomplish anything, and helped me to gain the strength to get through this. Even when Mr. Fox was not available his staff is always on top of responding to questions. I could always count on them to answer any of my questions. My divorce was actually faster than I could have ever hoped, fair and thankfully smooth as I could have hoped. I would recommend Mr. Fox and his wonderful staff for any type of legal disputes, and I know that I will be keeping his number close for any other legal issues that may arise. A divorce is a horrible thing, but having someone so upstanding by your side makes things much more tolerable!

Professional, compassionate and experienced attorney

Garrick Fox has been wonderful to work with on my legal matters. He is aggressive, but still understanding. His experience provided me comfort knowing that my case was in good hands!

Having a really bad day...

Lets face facts. Any time you required a criminal defense attorney or a Family law attorney chances are is typically not the best time in your life. Going through a Mediation, Divorce, Civil or Criminal proceedings can be an experience. Not to long ago I found myself on one of the worse days of my... life. For the first time I was facing criminal charges in front of a Judge in central Florida. I could have lost my wife, job, house, and freedom.. Everything I worked for the past 8 years because of my own selfishness and addiction. Fox is very direct and to the point. He handled my case with passion and determination. With Fox's help I was able to avoid letting my mistake get the better of me. Fox brought 25 years of experience and resources to the table. I was able to qualify for a pretrial diversion order. Now I am getting the help I need to live a manageable life and learn to live a sane life. Nothing in this life is easy. I can only say what worked for me. When choosing a person to stand beside me during one of my darkest hours I choose Fox. Regards, Customer.

"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.."

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.
