Terrific Lawyer

Mr., Garretson is a wonderful lawyer who is very passionate about his role as a defense lawyer. I hired him for an assault case and from day one I began to see tremendous progress. He worked tirelessly and advice that I go to trial after reviewing the evidence. During trial he was calm and asked surg...ical precise questions until he argued for dismissal. the Judge agreed with him and case was dismissed just 20 mins of trial. he is very knowledgeable of the law and can predict outcome with precision. He is one if not the best around Johnson County.

Great references; Great experience in an awful situation

My family was facing an extremely difficult circumstance around the holidays. Mr Garretson was recommended by friends who had experienced the juvenile justice system. Mr. Garretson's quick response and action on our behalf spared us tremendous grief. He immediately saw our distress and acted when ...it would have been perfectly reasonable to wait over a weekend. His gut feeling led to quick action that prevented charges from even being filed. He went out of his way to be aggressive on our behalf and was efficient with our funds to boot. He was reassuring but truthful and realistic. We truly appreciated his help.

BEST LAWYER EVER

I contacted Tyler after being falsely charged with domestic battery. He was very responsive and treated me like we've known each other for years. He got my charges dropped to a Class C misdemeanor Disordely Conduct. Was supposed to do 6 months of probation and after only 3 months Tyler was able to en...d my probation early!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

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.

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.
