Patti and her team have been exceptional to work with. They are always professional, prompt in returning calls, and get the best results possible. She is well worth the money that you invest and works her hardest to ensure that you are well informed of every aspect of the legal process.

Tonya Zimmerman, 2020

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.
