Andrew Scott Garnett

Arrested 10/15, Mr. Garnett made his first court appearance for me 11/18 for misdemeanor DWI. Still awaiting restricted license info to get back and forth to work, still no arrest paperwork from the DA, & no idea when my next court date was until I looked on CaseNet. This man does not answer the phon...e or return your calls, seemingly hiding behind his polite staff. I've called numerous times weekly to be told EVERY TIME he's "in court in another county". If you're OK with handing someone (10) $100 dollar bills and then forgetting about it, he's your guy. Otherwise, how about some expected communication? When I finally got through today and voiced my concerns, he told me he had NOTHING new to share and didn't like my attitude. Wow. I'll probably do jail time now, but DON'T waste your time and money on Andrew Garnett. I wish I'd paid someone else my hard-earned money who might seem to care. The only time I saw him face-to-face, he bragged about being known by "word of mouth". Based on my experience and many others here, that just can't be entirely true. Well, maybe he'll do a stellar job in spite of it!

The only thing that I could say good about him If he got me out of jail The case I had had a lot of loopholes but he found none He served me up to the court And left me hanging He did a Breach of contract By not doing what I told him I needed done I told him I could not do community service That was ...the first time they stuck me with I would not recommend anyone using this lawyer He is not A Good defense lawyer He works for the Prosecuting attorney He will not help you

I hired Mr. Garnett for a sensitive case. It dragged on for nearly 5 years. He assured me throughout that time that he was knowledgeable on the subject of my case and would always make me feel as if we had a chance of truly winning. In the end I lost. My negative review is not because of my loss, but... more for the fact that Andrew did not fight and advocate for me to his fullest potential. It was very apparent to me and others involved in the case that he was close with the Prosecuting Attorney. He refused to stand up to him on my defense. He also was notorious for not returning my phone calls and email. It would literally take me months to get ahold of him. This seems like an exaggeration but unfortunately it isn't. Unless you have a minor infraction that can be settled out of court, I would not recommend Mr. Garnett or his firm.
