Angela Reynvaan Garratt

Ms. Garrett is not to be trusted. She blatantly mishandeld a simple motion failing to serve opposing counsel on two separate occasions. Then embarrassingly enough opposing counsel in open court asked to dismiss due to defective service. To add insult to injury Ms. Garrett's office is one floor ...above opposing counsels ,and still it took her 3 business days to deliver service. She then lied to me about the matter having been scheduled for a hearing. I hired her as a family law matter. We made a contract for several matters to be adjudicated. out of the three items we agreed she would address for a flat fee, Ms Garret followed through with only one, and that result was not great. I have seen many other lawyers in action over the years. Her performance was extremely poor in the courtroom she was overzealous before court during court she stumbled through her words she was bewildered ,and inconcise. she did not express to the court any arguments she had told me she would make. She forgot to present the court with crucial evidence that would have likely changed the outcome of my case. Afterwards she insisted on more money. i told her we had not completed the work we had already contracted for. At that point communication dropped off to a one sentence email twice a week. While i tried to engage to have the other two matters I learned that she had not served or noted a motion for a hearing that she told me two weeks prior was already scheduled and served. At that point i said i need you to do what we contracted to do. her answer was to quit. I personally contacted the clerk and confirmed she hadn't done anything she said she would ,and had only that morning contacted them to schedule a hearing. Not two weeks prior like she had told me. I then told her we were done. I no longer trusted her in anyway to handle the case. I think it is very important for anyone considering this person for hire be aware of what my experience with her was. I hope this helps someone avoid the financial mistake of hiring her.
