A Great Help!

I was in a car accident and was having difficulty navigating the process and negotiating with the other insurance company, so I contacted Larry for help. He responded quickly and was able to schedule a phone call with me later that afternoon. He was extremely helpful and clearly understood what I w...as going through and offered me excellent advice on how to proceed. His counsel was invaluable and helped ease the stress and anxiety I was feeling about my predicament.

Unrespensive, wasted our time

We contacted Mr. Garrett to help us with our family estate planning in April 7, 2021, and provided all the information he requested. Despite of many phone calls and emails we never heard back from him until early August 2021 when my wife called told his assistant if Mr. Garret did not respond we had ...to look for another attorney. Mr. Garrett provided us a hastily put together, incomplete, cookie cutter planning document in early August. When my wife called to discuss the "draft" document, he acted annoyed. She then told him she was terminating our work with him. We now have to start all over again.

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.
