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.

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.
