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.

I hired Mr. Garland for my case regarding child custody. One of the most impressive things about him was how informed he kept me. I have had a couple lawyers in the past (one for my divorce and another for previous child custody issues). In both previous cases, I felt like I was constantly in the ...dark and constantly calling just to get a call back. Mr. Garland was very prompt with returning my calls/questions, etc. Also, a child custody case is always very stressful and Mr. Garland has a way of making you feel more at ease. I am huge on good customer service and big on writing reviews when I get good (or bad). I highly recommend Mr. Garland. I actually got EVERYTHING I asked for in my case.

Don't look any further when searching for a Divorce/Child Custody/Child Support attorney. Stop with Mr. Garland and you'll be happy you did. He's knows the law, he knows the court system, he knows the people, he knows his clients, and he helped my wife and I get through very difficult situations with... child support and child custody issues. You will get positive results, sometimes better than you thought possible. Other attorneys don't like being on the opposite side of the table, whether in the courtroom or in mitigation, and once you see Mr. Garland in action, you'll understand why. I once saw him put two people in jail in just one court session. Know that Mr. Garland is aggressive and will fight for you and your legal rights above and beyond what you would expect from an attorney.
