Garrett Solomon

was highly impressed by Garrett Salomon's expertise and professionalism in handling my case. With two cases to manage, he not only preserved my freedom but also facilitated a smooth transition of court-ordered activities to my home state. His dedicated online resource center was incredibly helpful, ...providing all court dates, notes, reminders, and a direct messaging system for seamless communication. This level of communication is crucial in legal matters, and I felt I received exceptional service for the price. I highly recommend Garrett Salomon for anyone in need of a skilled criminal defense attorney

Excellent service, fast, friendly, and helpful!

Garrett helped me recently with a speeding ticket and I'm very thankful for his support. I have never had to work with a lawyer before so I didn't know what to expect. After I signed the paperwork - before I could even think about next steps or ask how long this process might take - Garrett emailed m...e the very next morning sharing that my case had been resolved and everything was taken care of. I also had a lot of questions about the process and he was very patient and answered everything clearly and in a straightforward manner. Thank you, Garrett!

Hands down Best Criminal Lawyer ever!

Garrett Solomon is by far the hands down best defense lawyer I have ever hired in my entire life! I’m partly deaf and was very concerned about if this lawyer would have patience with me as my last lawyer a few years ago didn’t. He was rude, impatient and just not very professional at all in my opinio...n. Garrett was so patient with me, made sure I understood all what was going on, returned all my emails instantly, got me an interpreter for every court date which seemed like an forever case but he knew exactly what to do and my case got DISMISSED!!!! I was so filled with such happiness, joy and happy tears! He is amazing and you will not regret hiring him! If anyone needs a criminal defense lawyer, it’s Garrett! Hire him today!

"Garrett is an excellent criminal defense lawyer. I know that he spent several years as a public defender and became a team leader. He has spent most of his career in the courtroom. More importantly, Garrett is a gentleman. He is polite, civil and cordial until someone lies on the witness stand. Then he becomes heartless. Excellent attorney and highest recommendation from me."

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.
