    Review David Garrett

    Helps you get through tough times!

    Posted by

    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

    Posted by

    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.

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,
