After a long process of interviewing attorneys, not only did Garrett capture my attention immediately but delivered with kindness, compassion, a keen ear for listening, being extremely responsive via phone & many emails & going the extra mile. Almost every attorney will tell you he/she can deliver but Garrett is honest in what he can AND cannot do. He is also honest about letting you know when his services are not required and puts people above the almighty extra dollar he could earn. He will even give you his time in letting you know what you could do and how you would do it on your own - this, saving you money. I did not need him but I hired him nonetheless... just because of the integrity and great show of respect, time and effort he put into our initial consult. Did I end up needing him? Yes. Did he take care of me? Yes - more than I could have dreamed. I am honored to have simply crossed paths with him! Thank you Garrett! Thank you for being you. Garrett is priceless!

Upon interviewing several attorneys Garrett was the most capable, earnest, listening, responding honestly, communicative, not hurried to get you off the phone or ever rude in any of our communications which ended up being many. He’s personable yet professional, kind & compassionate. He’s creative, going above and beyond, always one step ahead while responsive to our many emails. He is easy to reach and happy to do so. He is one of the few on earth I trust, is an asset to all those who cross paths with him and I could not thank him enough. Many lawyers see straight lines where Garrett is able to process complex information and takes the time to really understand your need, goals and works hard to accomplish your goals. Garrett, I wish you and your family the best, will always refer you, never forget you and appreciate you more than you can comprehend. Hire Garrett. He is one of the few and last of the best. He is the only lawyer I can currently say - I believe is honest.

Garrett Solomon was hired twice and fought for my case, stayed in contact with any updates or concerns, answered any questions I had, and genuinely cared for me as a person. I wasn't just another case for Solomon and to me that's very important. He really tries and hard too, he stood up for me against the DA and was able to knock a price of a ticket for me and was able to get one completely withdrawn. I would recommend him as a reliable, honest lawyer.

Mr. Solomon effectively and efficiently prepared me for my expungement hearing. Also, during the hearing guided me through testimony to make sure all the pertinent information was explained to the court. Due to these keys factors we received a favorable result.

Hiring Garrett as a lawyer was the first time I ever hired a lawyer, and I have absolutely no regret. I would most definitely recommend him. He was very available, very professional, concerned just about his client (me) and was able to get my charges dismissed in a very timely manner, and followed up until my arrest record was expunged.

I had a very complicated case and being young had no clue about anything legal. Garret understood my needs and worked with me for months to get me what i needed. Would definetly hire again.

Garrett Solomon is by far the hands down best defense lawyer I have ever hired in my entire life! I’m partly deaf and was very concerned about if this lawyer would have patience with me as my last lawyer a few years ago didn’t. He was rude, impatient and just not very professional at all in my opinion. Garrett was so patient with me, made sure I understood all what was going on, returned all my emails instantly, got me an interpreter for every court date which seemed like an forever case but he knew exactly what to do and my case got DISMISSED!!!! I was so filled with such happiness, joy and happy tears! He is amazing and you will not regret hiring him! If anyone needs a criminal defense lawyer, it’s Garrett! Hire him today!

Garrett was amazing! He was great keeping me informed of what was going on, he was always there to answer my questions and help walk me through the process. I couldn't ask for more, he was really amazing. Everyone at his office was incredibly helpful, professional and always showed concerned about my well being. I could not have asked for more, his entire office was outstanding and caring.
