Mike Gartland is a great lawyer

My wife and I would like to recommend Mike Gartland with the highest level of enthusiasm. We were incredibly impressed by his knowledge, vision, and strategies in handling our case and delivering the results we sought. We were involved in 3-way financial conflicts with two parties. This was our first... time dealing with a real dispute and potential lawsuit, so my wife was emotionally distressed. We interviewed several lawyer candidates. We were impressed by Mike from the very beginning. Instead of reading a more or less similar open statement, he directly engaged us in our case, listened carefully to our story, and walked through the likely lethal processes and potential outcomes. He provided timely updates and answered our phone calls and emails promptly during the process. What was truly unique was that he predicted the moves of the other parties and the final outcome with incredible accuracy. He resolved our case in just a handful of weeks with the ideal results. We felt so fortunate and grateful that he handled our case.

Mr. Gartland and staff were very knowledgeable, professional and timely. We had a very complex case which would of been hard for some to understand. Mr. Gartland picked up our case, moved with it and achieved a better than expected outcome in quick fashion. Highly recommended.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
