Review Garrett Tanji Ogata

My personal review

5.0 stars

Me. Garret Ogata was very professional and courteous. In my words, you get what you pay for with Garret. My case was very simple and straight forward. You can tell he is very well respected by the DA and judge in his community. It was money well spent and if I was ever in trouble again, he would be the only one I call

You get what you pay for, and I did. An exceptional lawyer. I would highly recommend him to anyone facing a DUI. Because of him, that didn't happen to me. Frankly, I was indeed over the limit. How he made that disappear is beyond me, especially with an aggressive prosecutor, but he did it. I'm still scratching my head as to how he did, but he had me in and out of that courtroom in minutes.

Garrett is amazing! I was charged with DUI and domestic violence. Thought for sure, jail time, fines, DV classes, and more. My test came back clean, and he shot for the stars, and got full dismissal of all charges. It exceeded my hopes! I didn’t even know, it was possible. Thought at best, I’d be lucky to plea it down to a lesser charge. I felt comfortable with his personality and reputation from the get go. I highly recommend Garrett!

It's difficult today to find a loyal and honest attorney, Garrett is not only that type of person, he's also a professional in all aspects. If you really want the best lawyer to handle your case and give you the most positive result, in the end, call Garrett Ogata, all my respects to him.

From beginning to end Garrett Ogatta was nothing but superb! His professionalism, knowledge, experience and most of all compassion was everything you would look for from an attorney. He did what he said he could do from our first phone call! Do not go anywhere else. Garrett and his team are the best!
