Superior Knowledge, Fantastic Representation, Exceptional Attorney

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.

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.
