Jacalen J. Garris

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.

Years ago I asked my wife to marry me at a party on New Year’s Eve. I never expected to be divorced, but when forced to recognize that our marriage was ending, one of my strongest concerns was the fear of an uncertain future. I was no longer going to grow old with the “love of my life” and our two ...wonderful children. To the contrary, I now faced an arrogant adversary and an unfamiliar legal system that would preside over what was left of my family and financial future. An attorney friend recommended I talk with Jacalen Garris in Ann Arbor. As part of my business I have worked with lawyers of various talent levels over the years and found Jacalen excellent. She is intelligent, intuitive, experienced, friendly, knowledgeable, responsive, organized, concise and realistic. Now that the divorce is final, the children and I can breathe again and begin to move on with our lives. I am thankful for Jacalen's excellent counsel and would strongly recommend her.

I would like to provide my strong endorsement for Jacalen Garris. She has represented me in my divorce proceedings since 2005, and throughout the entire process she was a consummate professional who truly cared about the well being of me and my daughter. I am the CEO of a large financial company with... over 300 employees across multiple states, so often times, I was unable to consult with her about my case unless it was very late at night or very early in the morning. Jackie made herself available basically 24/7 to answer my questions, address my concerns, and provide some comfort that my case was being handled professionally and diligently. One such instance that comes to mind is when my ex wife refused to give my daughter to me for Christmas Eve, per our divorce decree. Jackie took the time to drop what she was doing with her family and friends, and meet me to draft a motion so I could be with my daughter for the Holidays. She got the order and provided me with something more valuable than anything money can buy: watching my daughter open her presents on Christmas Day. A CEO’s position requires them to work with many attorneys on a daily basis. Our company has retained dozens of them over the years to advise us on various legal issues. Jackie stands out as being among the very best. She is there every step of the way, and will leave no stone unturned. In addition, I found her fees to be very reasonable and was often surprised by unexpected but very welcome discounts. I highly recommend Jackie and her firm without qualifications or reservations. They are excellent lawyers and offer the best representation at a reasonable rate.
