Excellent with juveniles

After having to let another attorney go due to a severe lack of communication skills, I was lucky to find Tyler Garretson to help my son with drug charges. He was quick to take on the case and get in front of the judge to make sure things were moving along. His communication skills were excellent. ... I was able to feel at ease because he took time out of his busy day to send a brief email. In the end, he got my son the best conclusion we could have ever asked for, and for that I will be eternally grateful. Don't waste another minute with anyone else. Just hire Mr. Garretson.

Tyler Garretson is a Distinguished Attorney and I am Extremely Grateful

Mr. Tyler Garretson is a true professional and exceptional at his practice. He is smart, prompt, genuine, and truly cares about the well-being of his clients. Straightforward, thoughtful, and resourceful are among his other good qualities. With his abilities as a successful attorney and reasonable fe...es, he is the best. Tyler's track record is outstanding and speaks for itself. Because of another person's foolish actions and poor decision-making, I was put in a very difficult situation. Fortunately, Tyler was able to get the case dismissed before it went to trial. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for an honest attorney who will fight for his clients. Thank you Tyler!

Awesime!

This guy is great! I had bench warrant for missing court due to my own negligence, Tyler came through for me the next day on his day off and saved me from being put in jail with a great deal waiting for me on my next court date. This man did not owe me that by any means but he didi it, that is ...a lawyer that cares about his clients.

I am lucky I found this guy

About six months ago my door was kicked in. I was found with 2 1/2 lbs. of marajuana and charged with several felonys, which by today's stadards warrants a time of up to five to eight years in prison. I am happy to say that in the end we were able to make a deal at only 35 days with a sentence of pro...bation. I feel so relieved and blessed I found Tyler and hired him as my attorney. Because of him I am able to keep my job and I have a second chance and I just wanna say thank you to him

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.
