Garrett Gaa - Honest, Fair and Compassionate
My husband and I retained Garrett Gaa twice to help us navigate a foster care/custody situation and represent us in court. We live outside the state of Florida which my our situation difficult. Garrett and his staff provided excellent counsel and support during this process. Garrett was on top of the case every step of the way and kept us informed in a timely manner. He was honest with us about our rights and what we could expect based on Florida law. He accompanied us to the court hearing and explained what to expect during the proceedings prior to entering the courtroom. Garrett demonstrated his knowledge of Florida law during his management of our case. He treated us with dignity, respect and was empathetic to our situation. His fees were reasonable and he was accurate and fair with billable hours and associated costs. When I read a review about an attorney, I want to read that they are honest, fair and knowledgeable. Garrett Gaa possess those character traits and more. I would hire Garrett again should I need assistance in Florida. He is an excellent attorney.

Good Dude
I went to visit Garrett about six months ago. He was just a regular dude- very open, professional, and approachable. I was seeking timeshare/custody modification for my two boys. He had been studying how to litigate against former spouses with personality disorders. This was the attorney I needed because my former is the abusive, manipulative, cunning, lying, narcissistic, cray cray, anorexic, alcoholic type . I was pretty excited to find the right guy for the job. Unfortunately, his boss did not want to take the case because of a conflict of interest. Garrett did give me the professional courtesy of telling me the conflict was that his boss was friends with the uncle of my former spouse. Whatever. Garrett is a good dude, his boss kinda sucks, but oh well. I am still able to contact him from time to time for encouragement when I get down while I am going through current litigation even though he has no obligation to do so. That is really cool of him. I would recommend this guys to someone who needs an expert in custody litigation, especially if their former spouse has personality disorders.

A Professional
I was recently represented by Clayton Garrett Gaa and found his advice to be very rational, timely and well presented. He was well prepared and has an excellent grasp of the law. I felt a sincere compassion for the situation and a realistic course of approach to a good final conclusion. Unlike many lawyers, he returned calls personally and quickly and never left me anxiously waiting a response even during the weekend or after hours. I felt he was a good financial shepherd of his fees and expenses. Despite his age, he ran circles around the opposing lawyer who is a second generation civil and corporate lawyer, supposed civic leader and the head of a legacy firm from Winter Haven. Unlike the opposing lawyer, Garrett is an ethical and trusted individual. I highly recommend him.

Child custody/ Jurisdiction
Clayton was very professional! I came to him about my concern about the mother of my child was trying to change jurisdictions. He told me he would help me out when other lawyers said I had no case and a leg to stand on! His cost was fantastic for the service I got and was worth every penny. I walked out of court In victory. If you need a lawyer , this is your guy. Thank you for everything sir.

Divorce Attorney
Garrett Gaa recently represented me in a child support modification action. He was extremely knowledgeable and aided in making a compromise between my ex-wife and I. He was fair with his fees and his office staff was also very helpful and accommodating. I would recommend him to anyone.

OUTSTANDING LEGAL PERFORMANACE
Clayton Garrett Gaa has proven himself to be an outstanding attorney! He has handled my petition to modify or eliminate alimony to my ex-wife in an extremely honest, professional, knowledgeable, and sophisticated manner of a very experienced lawyer. Because of his research, discovery methods and negotiating skills, he has eliminated my alimony completely, saving me 13 years and 2 months of alimony payments. He accomplished this after another law firm had failed in an attempt. I would recommend Garrett, without hesitation, to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Pleasant and professional
Attorney Gaa was attentive to the details needed to satisfy my case. He was available to speak with me when I called or quickly returned my call, made sure I was kept informed, and was supportive during the process. The entire office staff was also welcoming and professional. I recommend his expertise to those with a need for family attorney representation.

Amazing!!
Garrett did a great job with my case! His knowledge of family law was impressive to say the least! I called several attorneys who told me I had no chance of taking away my daughter's father's rights. When Garrett wrote his response to my ex's paternity suit, his attorney advised him to settle out of court because he was going to lose. Garrett wrote up a settlement asking for everything I wanted, and the ex signed it. Clearly if I had hired any if the previous attorneys I spoke with, I would be in a drawn out custody battle because they were not aware of the laws that protect my child and myself. Thank you so much Garrett!!

Ms.
I started working with Garrett midway into my divorce proceedings after he started at his firm so he was picking up a bit of a mess to begin with. He was very attentive to my questions and concerns and was always patient with me in explaining the process of everything. My case was a long one and seemed never ending but throughout it all Garrett was always upbeat and positive about the outcome.
