Having just had my first experience as a plaintiff in a courtroom trial, I found it incredibly gut-wrenching and stressful to say the least. At no other point in my life did I have so much at risk: my career, my reputation, a large sum of money and the integrity of our HOA were all on the line (the H...

"Greg is a great trial lawyer who is very focused and well prepared on any case he does. A very resourceful and accomplished trial lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Garrison and I represented separate defendants in a very complex securities law matter. The trial in federal court was almost a month. Prior to and during that trial I had the opportunity to work closely with Mr. Garrison. I have participated in dozens of trials, and his trial preparation and trial skills are outstanding. The jury entered a verdict in favor of Mr. Garrison's client. On another complex matter, Mr. Garrison obtained key arbitration rulings. Thereafter I substituted in and was able to use Mr. Garrisons's rulings as a stepping stone to obtain a very large settlement."
"I endorse attorney Gregory Garrison. Hard working, skilled, and dedicated to his clients. A respected member within the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer. The attorney works very hard for the clients and keeps up with the law by attending legal seminars to assist them in this regard. I endorse this attorney."
"He is the kind of lawyer you want speaking on your behalf in any situation. Tough, confident, knowledgable, no nonsense and trustworthy. I have known Greg for over 20 years and he continues to impress me."
"I have worked with, and against, Greg on multiple cases. He is thorough and an excellent advocate on behalf of his clients. Greg is an ethical lawyer and I'd highly recommend him."
"At the first meeting with a client, Greg begins to prepare a case for trial. Greg’s ability to cut through legal posturing and shape a case for the jury is second to none, and his trial success substantiates his work ethic."
"Greg is an exceptional trial attorney. He is a fearless advocate and a great guy who really does care about his clients. Absolute top tier of civil trial attorneys. You won't find a better personal injury attorney in San Diego."
"I have tried cases with Greg Garrison and have been against him. I much prefer him on my side of the aisle. I consider him to be one of the finest trial lawyers in town, particularly in front of a jury. He has tremendous credibility as a lawyer and has a unique ability to boil down the most complicated fact patterns into simple and understandable concepts. He is always very well prepared and is tenacious. He gets results for a reason."
"Mr. Garrison is easily one of the most skilled trial lawyers and litigators I have encountered in my practice."
