Dropped to a Reckless !!!

They dropped my case from a DUI to reckless driving !!! & I couldn’t ask for more. This was my first time needing to hire a lawyer. I was arrested for a DUI & heard great things, through word of mouth about Chris Garrett. After having a few consultations with different lawyers, I decided to go with M...r. Garrett. Angela (lead secretary) is the sweetest & always a treat to speak with. If I ever felt the need, Mrs. Garrett was very accessible. But they handled everything & I was only required to show up to court once to accept the plea for reckless driving. As their client, they truly looked out for my best interest. Thank so much to the whole staff ! 10 stars

One of the few I trust

I am so glad that I. found Mr. Garret. He honestly listened to me and investigated my case. He fought for me, even when another charge was added. He kept me out of jail and informed at every step of the process. He is easy to talk to and is none judge mental. Add to that his wonderful assistants and ...you have a Fantastic Team. I will recommend him to everyone I meet that is looking for the Best Lawyer available.
