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.

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 wha...t to expect. I would most definitely recommend him to anyone looking to hire an attorney,

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.

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.
