Ali, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you and what you have done. I was very pleased with the results of my case. You were very easy to work with and always returned my calls/text. You were very outspoken in court and went above and beyond for me. I just wanted to tell you thank and I would recommend you to anyone. Again, thank you so much for everything that you done.

Very attentive and professional. Couldn't have asked for better service. Honored to call her "my attorney". Thank you Mrs. G!

I have never had a lawyer treat me the way she did she did not stay In contact with me about my case unless it was through email she never followed up with me to try to find more information the case I was up against I kinda felt more like she was my sons father attorney other than mine terrible experience I would have never paid that much if I had known she would have been no help. Waste of time and money !!!! Every time I would call no answer or It was her secretary and she was rude also she almost acted as if Im some horrible person she was no help in court kind of slap in the face but thanks for freely taking my money I would have spent on someone who would have actually been of help and not been on the side with the father ...enough said here so many more things I could say but its not worth it thanks for making me feel like the worst mother in the world !!!!!

Ali has always taken care of all my legal needs in expert fashion. She has always been polite and professional and will fight hard for you as a client.

Out of the three attorneys I had on this Particular case Ali was the only one to get things moving. 1st atty I could never get a hold of second atty just up and quit their Lawfirm and leaving me with my hands in the air.

After all the evidence I have showing proof of the lies it never made it to trial... from what I’ve heard that’s a financial blessing. but with that being done.so much was over looked.

so I don’t blame Ali for that I feel like that’s just how family court is. That’s how they are taught. get them in the door and whatever paper gets thrown at you make them sign it.

And after you sign papers even if the other person is lying about information (under oath) and you have proof of that lie “It doesn’t matter judges do not go back on orders” “you signed it and now you have to deal with it” “ take the chip off your shoulder”

So what I’ve learned from this is don’t sign anything without getting attorneys to prove what the other party is saying is true.

In one particular instance I made the mistake of trusting what Ali said was true even though I told her there’s no way that’s possible.

I signed the paper(s) went home and double checked things to find out the truth and found that the other party was indeed taking an extra *K from me.

I sent her an email showing her my findings and asked if she needed more proof I would be glad to give her copies of bank statements.

I had asked other questions as well that did not get answered. It’s been over a week since that email I guess since I’ve already paid her my questions aren’t important?

I gave ali 3 stars for helping me get what I was asking for. “For the most part” and getting things in motion.

But failing to prove the other parties statements and having me sign papers that inevitably put me out of more money.

Sign here, sign here , next client

She was an awful attorney that we paid $2,000 for my case and this was my very first time being in any kind of trouble and I was 19 years old at the time and could of qualified for youthful offender. I of course had no idea about this youthful offender plea I could of then qualified for until years later .But this being my first time in trouble I was completely naive about the justice system and was putting my faith in my paid for attorney Ali Garrett assuming she knew what she was doing more than myself of course since I'm just a massage therapist . She ended up putting me through pretrial diversion and I had probation and served jail time and now those misdemeanors are on my record forever. When all she had to do was plead youthful offender then I would at least have the chance to have them ex sponged off my record and even a lawyer fresh out of school would of done that! I can't believe I paid $2000 for her horrible services. I would of been better off representing myself still even without any knowledge of the law.

Extremely satisfied with the services I received from Ali Garrett. She handled my child support case in a very professional manor. She made it very clear that my child's best interest was her top priority. She takes excellent care of her clients and she will be my first call in the event I ever need legal representation in the future.

My experience with Ali Garrett was and is the best that one could hope for in a child custody case. She is not only very knowledgeable about the law but she is also very caring and a good Christian woman. She has prayed for and with me many times and we would not have custody of our boys if not for her hard work and tenacity. She is honest and will tell you straight up if what you want or your expectations are valid and within the law. She will not sugarcoat things just to get a client. She is smart and a fighter for children's rights. I highly recommend her her to anyone.

I have worked for Ali for 10 years. I've watched her work day and night for clients. I have watched as she has sacrificed time away from her family for her clients. Unfortunately, you can't make everyone happy. On the bright side, I've been able to be a part of 10 years of making very positive and rewarding differences in the majority of our clients lives.

Compassionate, professional attorney that cares about her clients. I was able to contact her day or night and she would drop everything to put me at ease. I would recommend Mrs. Garrett to anyone! She is very attentive and persistent and knowledgeable about the law.

Extremely dissatisfied. I believe we had more of a personality conflict than anything.. After I paied out $2000 I had to hire ANOTHER attorney to finish her job, & take over the case. I was only refunded $200, which is completely absurd. I do not recommend this attorney for any Child Custody case, whatsoever.
