Well Prepared

Mr. Garner was very professional and very well prepared in court. I would have liked a little more contact and detail in knowing what was going on with my case, but other than that I was very satisfied and highly recommend Mr. Garner and his staff.

Excellent Attorney

My Social Security case was a difficult one which required 3 years to conclude. After being turned down on the initial filing and appeal we had to have a hearing with an Administrative Law Judge. Mr. Garner's assistant Michelle did an outstanding job of compiling all the necessary records, getting wh...at she needed from me and getting the case filed. They kept me up to date as to how the case was proceeding. Mr. Garner did an outstanding job of putting together the facts and the case to present to the judge and prepared me very well for my testimony. He was up front and honest about our chance of winning. I really appreciate all the hard work they put into this case and can't thank Mr. Garner enough for all he did for me. I recommend Mr. Garner to anyone who needs an attorney and especially for Social Security.

Made the Disability Process Easy

Mr. Garner represented me for my SSDI hearing. I hired him in May 2018 and had the hearing and received my approval in May 2019. He collected all documentation of treatment since my initial application, and did an excellent job explaining my limitations to the judge.

Knowledgeable

He did a great job for me. Met once, filled out forms for me, stayed in touch with social security administration, decent phone response time, boom done. Thanks for your hard work.

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.
