I would definitely use Mr. Garrett again

I had a DUI related offense and knew very little about the legal sysytem and what my options were. Hugh explained everything to me so I could understand it completely and helped me every step of the way. He ultimately got my case dropped. I would definitely refer him to my friends and family.
