A law firm that cares!
I managed to make a huge mess out of some traffic tickets. Josh and Sarah were so wonderful helping me clean it all up. Every step of the way, they were there telling me exactly what I needed to do. I felt so supported and what started out as an impossible situation to me was made easy with their help. Josh saved my drivers license! I highly recommend The Garrett Law Firm.

Excellent Family Lawyer!!!
WOW - AMAZING experience with Josh Garret's Law Firm including his paralegal, Sarah. I had a relatively complicated matter involving an out of date parenting plan cross two states and internationally, and his team nailed it!!! They were very responsive, always getting back to me no later than 1 business day. They kept the court on their heels and the case moving forward. They listened to my needs, and they also respected the cost of the matter and tried to "bundle" questions into single correspondences, at my request. They navigated the case intelligently, and always remained professional. I can't say I've ever "liked" a lawyer (sorry, but true!), but I can honestly say I would not hesitate to use Josh's firm again, or recommend this firm HIGHLY to anyone that needs a good family Lawyer in the State of Missouri. Kudos Josh and Sarah!

Five Stars Is Not Enough
Positively the best legal experience I have ever had! I live in St. Louis and had hired representation locally. Unfortunately, after 7 months I found that my money had been taken and absolutely nothing had been done on my case for Taney county. I found Josh's law firm online (as well as a few others) and made a call. From the very first communication everything was handled professionally and compassionately. I had a hearing scheduled less than a week from that phone call. Everything leading up to and after the hearing was communicated efficiently though a portal. Documents posted, meetings/hearings scheduled, questions answered, etc. I showed up for the hearing, met Josh in person, and everything was settled THAT DAY! When you seek legal representation you are most likely in an emotional state of mind with fear and anger. I wish this law firm was local to me so that I could recommend them to people I know personally, so my hope is they receive recognition for the outstanding job they do in Taney County. As a team they are efficient at communication, representation, setting realistic expectations (and exceeding them!), and compassion. Josh and his team had my back every step of the way and I was able to return home with a grateful heart and ease of mind. Many thanks to the Garrett Law Firm. They have earned my respect and gratitude forever.

DWI
I’m from out of state. Blew well over the limit! I haven’t a previous record, and a perfect driving score. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to travel, get my license back, do jail time?! With in a month, all charges were dropped, without a trial, I paid a minor fine & my license was handed to Mr. Garrett, then returned to me promptly! I found Joshua to be very honest, to the point, professional & very reasonable! He saved my life & reputation! His staff was very informative, polite & timely as well! Thank you so very much in a life changing circumstance!

Legal Separation for Father
Found Mr. Garrett on line for the legal separation of my father. Have been very happy with his services and his very helpful staff. They were always available when we had questions or concerns. The rates charged were very reasonable. We will be happy to ask for his services in the future if ever needed. Thank you Mr. Garrett and Sarah.

Josh Smith - Great Attorney!
I've used Josh for a few separate cases. He has always kept me well informed, and is extremely professional and intelligent. Without a doubt I would highly recommend his expertise to any family or friend that found them self in a situation needing legal help.
