Robert Michael Garland

Robert Garland was the perfect attorney to help with my complicated and high conflict divorce and child custody case. He was great with presenting testimony and ensuring all facts were brought to light in court. He was very motivated to get things done timely and I was very lucky to have him on my si...de.

When I first separated from my ex-wife 7 years ago, I made the mistake of retaining a novice attorney who succeeded in billing me over $5,000 in the first month simply for the pleasure of filing the divorce petition. It was clear that my faith had been misplaced. I quickly initiated a search for ne...w counsel and found Mr. Garland quite by chance. That was probably the best find of my life. Mr. Garland is a top-notch attorney with almost as many years' experience as my former marriage had lasted. I found Mr. Garland to be very knowledgeable in family court matters. He billed fairly and accurately for his services. His countenance is the epitome of cool, calm, and collected both in front of a judge and in front of his client. I only wish that I had begun my divorce petition with Mr. Garland at the outset. Needless to say, he soon had things back on the right course. I firmly believe that his consultative approach and considered advice throughout were instrumental in resolving my case, including putting an end to all spousal support, in a much, much shorter time frame than could otherwise have been expected given that mine was a "marriage of long duration," not a phrase to be taken lightly in the state of California. Mr. Garland, I express to you my most sincere and heartfelt appreciation for all of your assistance in bringing this chapter of my life to a full and complete close. I now have an opportunity to move forward afresh and without encumbrance to write the next chapter. Thank you!

Mr. Garland represented me in a very complex case that lasted over 5 years. Throughout the duration of my case, I relied on his expertise, advise and guidance. My case had unusual circumstances and from the outset Mr. Garland seemed very eager to get involved. I remember him telling me at the end of ...our first meeting, "I look forward to working on your case and learn ...". After taking the time to research the applicable civil code and case laws, he very quickly became a subject matter expert and a recognized authority in the area of the law that applied to my case, and that is by the admittance of another attorney who had no personal or direct professional relationship with Mr. Garland. He kept me informed of all development in my case at all times, and took the time to explain the law and address all my questions. He does what he says and says what he does. He was passionate, responsive, engaged and willing to work very hard to win his case. After a long process, my case settled out of court thanks to Mr. Garland's patience, persistence and determination, not only to negotiate a fair and favorable deal but also to convince me to accept it. He was always fair, professional and respectful. Even years later he remained very responsive and willing to address questions and issues related to the case. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Garland to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, ethical and dependable family law attorney.

Mr. Garland has been my attorney for 10 years now and It's the best decision I ever made. In addition to being an excellent litigator he is overwhelmingly versed in family and child custody law. As a man going through a divorce if you have the wrong lawyer you can lose more than just money you can lo...se your family. Mr Garland himself spent many years a single father and he knows from personal experience what it takes to make sure all the laws that apply to the mother apply to the father as well. I can't see enough good things about this guy. If you're getting divorced hire Robert Garland you wont be sorry. Michael
