Hired an incompetent attorney before finding Mr. Garland. I knew when I first spoke to Mr. Garland that I had made the right decision. He gave me the BEST of his time, service, energy and effort and got me the results that I needed. His work was very detail-oriented and well-written. In the courtroom he is self-confident, respected and assertive when it counts. All charges dropped by prosecutor !! Mr. Garland was also very willing to go to trial for me without hesitation and thankfully it never came to that. Much appreciated . THANK YOU !

Jeffrey Garland was able to do what my previous two attorney's were unable/unwilling to do. I originally paid a huge sum of money to another attorney thinking the more expensive the better service I will receive. This was completely false. I rarely got any communication from them even after calling and leaving multiple emails. Jeffrey Garland was the complete opposite. He was very thorough and always willing to listen. His rates were very fair and he was also knowledge. I was facing jail time with multiple felonies. With the help of Jeffrey Garland I was able to move on with my life with no jail time, a withheld adjudication on all felonies and 5 years probation. This was the best outcome I could have hoped for without going to trail and he got it done for me.

Doc was demanding a lot of money at the 11th. hour. Money which they had waived ten years earlier. After three court hearings the case was dropped thanks to Mr.Garlands efforts.

Mr. Jeffery Garland has once again came through for me. With in a very short time, after hiring him, all my charges were dropped, one was a felony. Over the years Jeffery has handled a variety of cases for me and I have always had a positive out come. He works hard and knows the law. Jeffery is th best and his price is very reasonable. People I have recommended him to were very pleased with his work I highly recommend him.

He specializes in different cases and I definitely recommend him. Mr. Garland not only won my case but was extremely knowledgeable. He knows the law like the back of his have and I am truly amazed at his memory. He is straight forward, aggressive, kind just to name a few...

I was charged with two 2nd degree felonies and one 3rd degree felony as a former correctional officer for the State of Florida. I was charged with unlawful compensation, introduction to contraband in state facility, and accepting bribes from an inmate. The evidence obtained was by a search of my vehicle. I did not give consent for the search of my vehicle, however, who was to defend me and advocate for what was said or not said? No one. Mr. Jeffrey Garland dives into what the law says, and studies any and all prior cases that pertain to your case. Mr. Garland forced the prosecutor to drop all charges through pretrial hearings in which Mr. Garland made very clear to the court that my statements were coerced. I was told that my vehicle was going to be searched, but I was never asked, and they simply didn't have probable cause. The charges were dropped after pretrial hearings and the rest is history. Thank you Jeffrey!

I Would like to recommend "My" attorney Jeffery Garland for anyone that needs one in the state of Florida, he is a certified in state and federal courts. He makes your case personal to him by being honest about what the courts outcome may be. He will fight for you in trial or In the plea process. He really cares about his clients and the outcomes in the cases. Jeffery Garland knows all facets of criminal law as well as personal injury, he has represented other members of my family and we trust him with all our law questions and cases. Jeffery Garland is the attorney to trust. He will always be my attorney of choice.

I hired Mr. Garland March 2013 for my grandson. We live out of state and it was very important to have a lawyer that would be working on our behalf. I trust Mr. Garland completely, i feel that he worked very hard for us. Mr. Garland took the time to explain the process of what was happening during the entire ordeal. Because we were out of state Mr. Garland arranged it so he could appear in court for us on more than one occasion which saved us that extra financial burden. My grandson was facing several felony charges and misdemeanors for drugs. Mr. Garland has great knowledge of the law specific to our case, he was able to get the charges dropped down to two misdemeanors. During the entire time Mr. Garland treated us with care and respect. Thanks to him, he made the bad situation bearable. If we ever need a lawyer in Florida, Jeffrey Garland will be the first I make.

I know that picking the right attorney is not an easy task. I was extremely lucky to have found Jeff Garland. He not only won my case but also treated me like I was part of his family. His knowledge of the law is incredible. I am one very satisfied client.
