Very proactive, smart and strategic itigator

Mr. Garza successfully defended me in a case of false criminal charges, at a time when he had to litigate be phone due to the Covid restrictions. I was very impressed by his swift and effective court litigation skills. He wax very mindful, committed and proactive during the entire process.

Thanks to John for being a great attorney. He has helped me out a lot the past year. He gets the work done fast when needed and reliable as always. I will remember to contact him first for future cases. He knows exactly what he's doing.

GREAT ATTORNEY!

My case was very complicated, it involved an HTO reinstatement, John was able to maneuver and navigate DOL procedures and policies. He dug in and researched all angles. He listened to me and my wife when we had questions, concerns, or ideas. He wrote them down and researched them and never made us... feel like we were burdensome or demanding. He was always positive with our involvement. I consulted a few attorneys before I contacted John, I was ready to give up, I just couldn't seem to explain my case and needs and be understood. John listened to the whole story and was able to simplify and sum it up. He communicated throughout the process and we always felt informed. He explained all the options to us. He searched out every possible scenario and really cared about us and our situation. We were able to obtain our goal in a timely manner. John has great time management and he is fair with his pricing. Even if we had lost this case, we would still refer him to anyone. He is a rare find and destined to be one of the Greats!

John is a great Lawyer!

John helped me with a speeding ticket I got back in August and another one in December. He was very helpful, quick to respond, easy to work with, and did everything he could to keep my insurance from knowing about my incidents. I highly recommend him! Thank you again for everything John!
