Peter Anthony Garin

My experience while using Peter Garin as a CFI was 1 star quality. When speaking with him on separate occasions, he was unprofessional/rude when speaking to me and addressing issues. His work felt rushed and displayed poor time management when handling my part of the case. Most interactions did not t...ake place until close to the due date. I was constantly having to reach out for confirmations on my communications with him, do check-ins due to prolonged lapse in hearing back from him and would receive no responses to emails on numerous occasions. He also is not up-to-date with certain technology and had various issues with Google drive when receiving documents I sent him. It was a negative experience and I would not recommend. This is not my first experience using a CFI. My prior time was professional and I felt more consideration was taken when handling the logistics of the case for both parties. When paying for someone’s service, one has certain expectations to be met and mine were not.

Peter Garin has an abusive and aggressive style of investigation that harms children. After 1 year of my son refusing visits with his father, I hired Peter Garin to help me and instead he interviewed father first, who self-diagnosed me with parental alienation. Peter Garin did not interview me,... instead he called me in for an interrogation and threatened me with jail time if I didn't force my son back. This, despite my son's individual therapist treating him for PTSD when with father. Peter Garin stated that my son 'needed a swift kick to the pants' (but used cuss words) and never even spoke to my son's therapist. Update: 6 months ago, parenting time with father resumed due to Peter Garin's report against mother. This past week, father relinquished all parenting time to mother and left to live for an undetermined amount of time, out of the country. Mother tried to explain that this was a pattern to Peter Garin and he ignored her. Now minor child is again dealing with PTSD of being abandoned, which mother was trying to protect him from. If you love your child, do not hire Peter Garin.

Peter did a great job with my case. When we first met, he did a thorough job of gathering details, and walking me through both the legal and relational processes required from beginning to end. He and his team ensured that I received all case related communications and allowed me to define the amou...nt of communication I needed to remain comfortable throughout the entire process. His team helped me to keep legal costs down by providing the information I needed directedly, even when I was stressed and could have easily used additional time digging for more detail should they not have proactively provided it to me. During the case, Peter had the foresight to schedule court conferences that didn't appear to me at the time that we would use. That leverage of experience saved me thousands of dollars and provided situational legal relief when we utilized that time with the court. Peter demonstrates his understanding of law and did a highly competent job using that knowledge to help me in my case. Each of the court documents Peter wrote for my case advocated for my family and my needs. I am very happy I hired Peter.

I hired Peter for a DUI charge in October, 2016. With the real and terrifying possibility of Jail despite no prior interaction with law authorities, I sure hoped he was as good as I thought. But, in the sea of lawyers, how do you know 100%? You don't. But now I do. Peter is the best! he has all ...the basic qualities and excels at them---very competent, knows the laws and latest changes, is familiar with the local court systems and people. What differentiates him? all the really important stuff---he cares (a lot), he possesses integrity & honesty, he is responsive, he goes above and beyond, he does the right thing, he gives excellent counsel and advice. In my case, he got to really know me, understand what was most important in court and made certain those things happened successfully. And, I was able to speak with him easily about other concerns about my DUI. In the sea of lawyers, I can't imagine anyone better in his areas of expertise.

Mr. Garin did a very professional job handling my case and was well prepared. He was able to get my fine and points reduced for a careless driving charge in Wheat Ridge, CO. He was on time to court, and I spoke with him the morning of my court date on the phone before court which set my mind at eas...e. I like him a lot and felt he did all he could for me, and then some. I recommend him, he's a great attorney with reasonable fees.
