Patti Garner and staff are top notch! I have needed her services a couple of times and have recommended her to many friends. I will continue to do so!
Tammy Rawls, 2021
Normally, I try to steer clear of lawyers -- in my experiences, they talk a good game but only care about their payday. Patti Garner, in my opinion, went above and beyond the call of duty when my wife and I were her client. She fought for us and was successful and did so without going crazy with the billing.
Mark Noyes, 2020
We have used Patti twice now for 2 different situations. She went above and beyond as well as did her staff. Highly recommend.
