Tyler Powell Garretson

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.

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

Our son has struggled with anxiety since he was approximately four years old. He has also been challenged academically and was diagnosed with ADHD in middle school. In efforts to support and advocate for our son we consulted with psychiatrists, psychologists and counselors for years. In middle sch...ool, our son began self medicating with drugs and alcohol, and this led to legal consequences. Trying to navigate the legal system became overwhelming, and fortunately, a friend with similar circumstances referred us to Tyler. Although similar situations are very prevalent in our community, amongst young people, parents do not share openly about this, so we were very grateful for the referral. We have continued to recommend Tyler to friends in need of legal assistance for their children. Tyler is a very congenial person, which was appealing as there is some shame and guilt associated with having a child that has broken the law. He has put legal ramifications in laymen terms and provided guidance and support. He has even been willing to connect with my husband and myself, after hours, and he seems to have empathy with the anxiety parent’s experience. Recently, we decided to hire Tyler rather than continue with our court appointed attorney. Once Tyler became involved our needs began to be met. Prior to Tyler’s assistance, we felt helpless and at the mercy of a confusing legal system. We continue to navigate the legal system, but feel more confident knowing Tyler is advocating for our son and our family.

Tyler Garretson was the first good thing to happen to my son, an addict, in ten years. He connected with K immediately, explaining the possession charge, getting it reduced and helping K gain entrance to Oxford House, a sober living environment. He even wrote a personal recommendation and hand-delive...red it to the man in charge there. Because of Tyler's belief in my son's resolve to reclaim his life and fatherhood, K has continued in rehab and is soon to enter the world of personal responsibility. And you know the most amazing part of this? Tyler was court-appointed to represent K. Tyler's professionalism and expertise are equalled by his compassion, insight and understanding. He has since put me in touch with other attorneys on issues unrelated to his area of practice. And I send him occasional updates on K's progress, always receiving an uplifting reply. He's been the answer to our prayers. K in Sanibel
