Helped Navigate during a difficult time

Mr. Garris was very knowledgeable. He provided excellent guidance and support during a difficult recovery. I felt like we were his first priority all throughout our case. He was always willing to taking time to answer or return phone calls that we made, with questions or concerns. Mr. Garris helped... us with every aspect, from making sure we had all the supplies and tools we needed, to helping us understand the law and how it provided for us. I would have been lost, without his step-by-step approach and knowledge of the law. I will definitely recommend his services to anyone who needs a personal injury attorney, following a car accident.

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.
