Danny Carol Garland II

Danny Garland is hands down the best attorney in Knoxville! With nearly 30 years of experience, he knows the law inside and out, and elegantly outwitted our opposition every time. I witnessed first-hand his positive rapport with local judges and other attorneys in town for being knowledgeable, ethica...l, and tireless in his pursuit of justice. Danny and his paralegal, Carolyn, work seamlessly as a team to ensure i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed on the mountain of paperwork required throughout the process. This included staying on top of petitions, counter-petitions, multiple contempt violations, hearings, depositions, interrogatories, and countless records entered as evidence during the trial. They both went far above and beyond my expectations in helping me to obtain a favorable outcome for both custody and child support. I truly became friends with both of them throughout the nearly year-long court battle in a very high-conflict co-parenting situation. My daughter’s father hired an extremely aggressive lawyer, and together they used every trick in the book to attempt to intimidate and bully me into submission. Danny encouraged me not to back down and gave me the confidence to keep fighting for what was best for her. Danny and Carolyn had my back unconditionally, coaching me through every step with empathy and patience. I now have the parenting time I will need to try and undo the trauma that has been inflicted upon her. As my review hopefully demonstrates, I cannot recommend Danny enough.

When DCS came knocking, I knew there was no way I'd be able to keep my calm if I tried dealing with their case workers personally. I needed to lawyer up before I showed up, and that's why I hired Danny Garland. He was zealous and effective through every step of the process. He listened to my conc...erns and my wife's, always kept us informed, and managed to deescalate the situation to where my family wasn't torn apart. If you get word DCS is out to tear up your family, don't talk to them at all until you've hired Danny Garland. Your family will be safer for it.

From the very beginning this attorney did not properly prepare...he did not bother to go over my testimony beforehand (any attorney worth their salt definitely will,) did not seem to know that all phone call recordings between you and the other party are admissible!! Seriously, it's your job to know ...these things and prepare your client for them. The court appointed attorney I had prior to him did all the work for him and handed it over. The only thing he actually appeared to be somewhat decent at was speaking and essentially "dealing" with opposing council. PLEASE HEED THIS WARNING: If your case is not a clear cut and dried case and actually requires your attorney to make a case for you and fight for you, their client, this is not the gentleman you want. You may, however, consider calling Sam English-based on my experience I wish I had retained him first.

Danny Garland stood strong for me during a time when I felt inferior. He handled my divorce case with fierce integrity. I couldn't have been blessed with a lawyer that took time to go the extra mile. I am a disabled woman who was being divorced by a very academically smart ex. He planned on leaving m...e with nothing. Danny communicated with my doctor learning more about MS than the eye can see. However, he grabbed the bull by his horns and ripped him a new one. No matter where you stand in life, rich or poor. When Danny said " I gotcha back" Please believe you're in good hands. My case ended so well. I was left speechless, he breathes excellence.

I had an old child support case that I had pretty much given up on. My ex husband thought he was untouchable. After years of getting nowhere and having no child support, although it had been ordered, I was told about Danny Garland. After our first meeting I cried because I truelly believed there was ...finally hope. Danny was great. He did what he said he would do. He is so down to earth, confident, sure of himself but not cocky. He's a real person who knows what he's doing regarding the law and does it well.
