Greg Saved My Job!

I can't recommend Greg enough. I was falsely accused by my ex-girlfriend of punching her and then got charged with domestic violence. Greg was able to prove that my ex was lying and the charge was dismissed only one week after it got filed. Greg was great at explaining the process and keeping me c...alm.

Best Attorney Possible!

Mr. Garrison represented my son when he was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm. Mr. Garrison investigated my son's prior conviction and was able to prove that his prior conviction had been reduced to a misdemeanor so he wasn't a convicted felon. Mr. Garrison didn't just take the ...word of the DA. Mr. Garrison got my son's case completely dismissed. He also was great at keeping us informed about the status of the case and answering all of our questions. I highly recommend Mr. Garrison if you need a criminal defense attorney in San Diego.

Incredibly Competent and Compassionate Attorney

I could not have chosen a better or more empathetic lawyer than Greg Garrison. From start to finish he imbued a sense of comfort and trust in me, that got me through an extremely difficult period in my life. His deep understanding of the criminal justice system enabled me to get an extremely good o...utcome to my trial. I knew that hiring a former prosecutor and a former law enforcement officer would bring about the best possible outcome for my case. I can not recommend Greg highly enough – he definitely makes the difference!

Amazing Attorney!

When I was arrested for narcotics trafficking and faced over 13 years in prison, I had absolutely no idea who to turn to. I knew I was innocent and fortunately Mr. Garrison did as well. He tirelessly negotiated with the District Attorney’s Office to convince them that I was simply in the wrong plac...e at the wrong time and had nothing to do with narcotics trafficking. When the District Attorney dismissed all felony charges, I couldn’t believe my ears. It was clear that hiring a former prosecutor was the best decision I ever made. Mr. Garrison believed in my innocence and was fully prepared to go to trial. However, through his negotiating skills and finesse, he was successful in getting a dismissal of all the charges. Thank you again Mr. Garrison.

Highest Recommendation for Gregory Garrsion

It is with complete confidence and immeasurable appreciation that I recommend Gregory Garrison for his skills as a Criminal Defense Attorney. Never in my whole life did I expect to be in such a dire situation as to need to find a criminal defender, but due to a series of horrible and uncontrollable e...vents , my partner and I found ourselves fighting for our lives and livelihood. From our very first phone call, he was immediately responsive and most importantly, reassuring and informative. He clarified every step of the terrifying process, and provided ongoing information as to what we were facing, what it meant, and the impact of each 'battle.' Here is the most important thing I can recommend when considering to engage Attorney Garrison, and why I wholeheartedly recommend you do: The legal process is incredibly intimidating - the criminal legal process is a horrific nightmare. Greg presents as not only incredibly ethical, he is also very commanding and clearly in control of the situation. Being a defendant in this process is a complete roller coaster. The best picture is that it is like being in an orchard - and you think you are looking at an orange on a tree, although next time you look that orange is an apple. You think you are going to be dealing with picking an apple, then you look again and the tree is now a grape vine, and there are no grapes. You look one more time and you are still among vines, only now the grapes are ripened. Greg takes you through every metamorphosis of DA's, DA supervisors, DA supervisor's supervisors, and back to the DA - maintaining control and providing information every step of the way. Because the reality is that as a defendant you have NO control. (For a control freak like me, that was awful). With Greg you are in incredibly capable hands. And here is the most important point: MOST of the important work that he does, you will never see yourself. It wasn't until sentencing (which went from an initial exposure of over 13 years in prison, to a charge which can be expunged in three years probation only), that we realized all of the powerful arguments he had made on our behalf in chambers. His negotiations and work for justice were tireless, and when we got to the end - when the judge empathized with us and ruled as generously as he could, we realized that he had indeed communicated effectively all of the nuances and grey area that needed to be clarified. The process can be very painful and difficult to navigate: with Gregory Garrison on board to navigate this for you, you are in the most capable, ethical, and influential hands I can imagine. Don't hesitate to engage him to support you.
