Helps you get through tough times!
Really, really helped me get through the entire bankruptcy. Went out of his way to help me get through all my obstacles--Out of state all the way to converting my bankruptcy to a chapter 13 to a 7. Highly would recommend and is lazy about NOTHING. Always on it.

Very Knowledgeable, told us what we needed, told us how long it would take. Was straight-forward with us. Did not sugar-coat a thing, which we liked and needed.

Discharge of Debt Chapter 7
I got into financial trouble due to an illness that didn't allow me to work. I highly recommend Mr. Garrett for his ability to understand that his clients come to him in need of financial help. He worked with me and allowed me to make payments towards my discharge. I had called several other attorney's and they wanted the full amount up front. Throughout the process he was there when I had a question and he took care of the load of paperwork needed to help me . If you need relief from harassing phone calls and an attorney who makes you feel like your his only client, David W. Garrett is the Attorney you need to call. Thank you for everything. I now have fresh start.

Kudos and High Recommendations from me to David Garrett!
Mr. Garrett knows the ins and outs of the Bankruptcy process very well. He has a system he follows, and it is very good..so I felt like everything was in control as long as he was my Guide. He was there waiting for me at court and was very calming and explained what would happen so I would know what to expect. I would most definitely recommend him to anyone looking to hire an attorney,

Thanks for letting me breathe again :)
I was 100% happy with David Garrett as my lawyer. He completely explained everything I needed to know. If their was a question I was able to ask it freely and he gladly would answer. It was for chapter 7 as I was at an all low. He did not make me feel as if I was nothing. He treated me well and respectful. I have nothing but praise and gratitude for David Garrett. I would highly recommend him to anyone going through this situation. His secretary was also very helpful and polite. Great services provided by David Garrett. Thanks for helping me breathe again .

Excellent choice of a Lawyer!
I can`t thank David enough for all the things he did for me. In my time of need for professional help and guidance David stepped up to the plate and handled matters with skill and knowledge. Thanks to him I can now get on with my life without worry and stress being a part of it. Once again, thanks David for everything you have done for me. I truly am grateful. On a side note. I would also like to thank his secretary for being there also. She helped out dearly. Thank you both again.

He knows what he is doing and how to get the job done
We used David when we filed for chapter 7. We are very happy with the job David did for us. He knows his job and he does it well. He took the time to explain everything to us, and to make sure we knew what to expect at our hearing. He helped us make a very stressful time not so stressful.
Posted by anonymous | December 27, 2010
Helpful, Friendly, and Considerate
Mr. Garrett was very helpful in our bankruptcy filing. He had several appointments with him to gather up all of out paperwork and even when we had something come up right before filing, he worked with us to make sure we had everything we needed. At the hearing he was very supportive and talked us through what to expect and what was expected of us. When we had questions someone from his office always answered promptly and were very helpful. Mr. Garrett made a trying time for us not so bad and we could not thank him enough.

Review David W. Garrett
Upon hiring David W. Garrett I was at first asured that I would clear my debt, Through the entire process I feel I was disillusioned on whether I was going to beable to keep my house. I still have my doubts.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.
| Hired Attorney
Bankruptcy
Got money for the bankruptcy, and then never answered any of our questions. He never returned any email, and when you call him hes always on vacation and wantsbto email. Very unprofessional for someone your paying a lot of money too.. He also looses your important paperwork. He could never find paperwork we sent to him numerous times. Best bet is to find someone that cares and is not just a money hungry person.
