Way above and beyond!

I had the great pleasure of working with both Jacalen Garris and Stephanie from the law firm Garris, Garris, Garris, & Garris, and they helped me quickly and expediently evict a non-compliant, uncommunicative renter who had stopped paying rent for several months. They both were professional, fair, el...oquent, efficient, and extremely well-versed in what they do, and I cannot recommend Jacalen and Stephanie highly enough. Thank you so much for all of your help!

Best Lawyer ever helped me in time and always care about the client

I was involved in a case and missed the court. When I received the verdict I was desperate. I called 5 different law firms to ask for help, but most of them told me they cannot help me. My colleagues recommended Jacalen's firm. They told me if there is anyone can help me in my case, her firm would be... the best place in Ann Arbor area. So I went there hoping there would help me. I was lucky that Jacalen was there and she reviewed my case. She gave me some very professional advises and explained in detail how I could do for my situation. After I hired her as my lawyer in that case, she helped me solved my problem in time. After 4 months, the lawyer from another side in that case came to me again and ask money, saying I owe him about $5,000. I sent Jacalen an email ask for help, she helped me in the second day and the lawyer on the other side admit that the letter ask money from me is a mistake. She helped me again in time. And she did not charge me for this. I do appriate her quick response and very professional, honest, and thoughful service. In this case, I can see she is a very experienced, honest, and professional lawyer. It is my lucky to have her help me.

Such a positive experience

I was completely overwhelmed in the legal process of divorce, and Jacalen and Stephanie Garris made that process so easy for me. Their pricing was more than fair, and they provided friendly and approachable customer service. I would highly recommend them for any legal needs.

Fair, Personable, and Professional

Jacalen Garris represented me in my divorce case. At every interaction, I found her — along with all the attorneys in her firm — to be knowledgeable, fair, personable, and the consummate professional. She was extraordinarily helpful and tried at every turn to keep fees to a minimum. I would recommend... her to anyone without reservation!

Jacalen Garris is an excellent lawyer. She helped me resolve a dispute with a tenant in six days which could’ve taken 60 days. I’m grateful for her professionalism and her expertise she showed to resolve this problem quickly.

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.
