Garrett team ROCKS!!!!

When I wanted an attorney’s help, I grew to become to Garrett. Garrett worked with me and my spouse. She helped me thru the whole thing and we had a high-quality result. I recognize quite a few humans in the motorcycle community and all of them appreciate The Husband And Wife Law Team. This crew is f...ocused on brilliant consequences but additionally actually are like circle of relatives. It’s amazing to look attorneys centered no longer just on supporting people who are injured however also on safety on the roadway. Thank you in your assist Garrett!

Garret is AMAZING!!!

Garret May is a man of integrity. He is thorough in everything he does.He represented me in a very difficult case and was very easy to understand. I have the utmost confidence that this man can do absolutely anything within the legal system. He is very easy to communicate with and quick to respond to... any question no matter how small . He stood beside me all the way and I never felt alone or that I wasn’t in good hands . He is not out to hurt anyone so I felt he was fair in absolutely everything he did. I doubt I will ever use any other attorney.

Peace of Mind

I was given such piece of mind when I hired Garrett. He was professional and caring. I had been stuck battling the insurance companies all on my own and getting no where. I had not able to deal with emotionally getting over the auto accident due to the stress of just trying to get my medical bills ...paid for by the insurance company. The May Firm was amazing and took everything over. They always answered my questions right away and gave me back my life. Thank you so much!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
