About

Mr. Garza lectures both in the state of Tennessee and nationally in the areas of Criminal Defense, DUI and trial skills. Mr. Garza has literally attended hundreds of hours of legal and scientific education related to the defense of the citizen accused and prides himself in staying on the cutting edge of trial techniques and the underlying law and science that is necessary to effectively defend those accused of crime or those who have suffered serious personal injury. Mr. Garza is trained in the science and techniques of Gas Chromatography (the method used to test drugs and alcohol in the blood), the EC/IR II breath testing device and is both a student and Instructor of the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) and Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) courses. Mr. Garza is also a graduate of the prestigious National Criminal Defense College (NCDC) in Macon, Georgia and a graduated of the well-respected Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College® in Dubois, Wyoming, an intensive 24-day trial skills college. After a tour as a Judge Advocate and Captain in the United States Marine Corps, Mr. Garza returned to practice law in his home of East Tennessee.  He routinely travels across East Tennessee handling criminal and personal injury cases for a relatively small number of clients.  Marcos Garza is committed to handling fewer cases in the areas of Criminal, DUI and Personal Injury law in order to achieve the best results possible.  This system enables Mr. Garza to get to know his clients personally and thoroughly, and he believes this not only produces better results but is also a more rewarding way of practicing law.  He is available during the week and on weekends for free consultations.  Mr. Garza is a husband and father of four young children and enjoys running and charcoal grilling on the weekends.

Simply the best. At the beginning of 2019 I was in a tough situation regarding a DUI. I knew it was a very serious charge so I had too hire the best which meant hiring The Garza Law Firm. If you are contemplating hiring them let me tell you that it is 10 out 10 worth everything for these guys too be on your team. They will help you throughout the process and they are very transparent and worth it. Believe me it was the best decision I have made and I would recommend Marcos’ team to anyone in the future. It took some time which was perfectly fine, but in the end it all worked out and I couldn’t be more happy with the results. I simply can not thank this team enough for everything they did to help me.

I had three very serious charges including a felony schedule VI drug charge. Considering the state of the pandemic, my arraignment was consistently pushed back, only adding to my stress. I went with the Garza Law Firm as my first option, being offered their services for half the initial price I was quoted. I, with mass amounts of anxiety on my situation, offered very little follow-up, mostly leaving it in their hands. Once I arrived at my arraignment, I was as nervous as I’ve ever been in my life. After meeting with Marcos outside the courtroom, he assured me he would find the best solution possible. I was told the first offer provided by the judge was over 11 months. Marcos worked it down to every single charge being dropped. I burst out in tears leaving the courtroom. I would trust this man with any situation thrown at me. He is a true professional, and if you find yourself considering another attorney, fix that. He is the ONLY attorney I would go to in any circumstance. This man truly saved the course of my life; I could not be more grateful.

I was familiar with the Marcos Garza firm through my local sports show (Tony Basilio), so when my mother was involved in an assault he was immediately my first thought. However, when a good friend of our family, a former prosecutor, recommended Marcos we knew where we needed to go. Marcos and his staff have treated my mom as if she was family from the very start of this case. Our entire family highly recommend Marcos Garza and his team for any legal matters you may need help with. My mother now considers he and staff family and I do not know a higher compliment than that.

I researched for several days and reached out to everyone I knew to help determine who the best representation was in the area. I was able to connect with people from all over the state from doctors, lawyers, and other professionals including my family. This path led me directly to The Garza Law Firm and it was indisputable. Everyone there treats you with respect and is available throughout the process to keep you updated and provide healthful reassurance. The Garza Law Firm was patient, precise, and The Garza Law Firm delivered the best result imaginable for me and my family. I sincerely thank you and appreciate your contribution to my future!

All I can really say is that anyone can find themselves in the crosshairs of the law. We all like to think that we will never be accused of a serious crime, but if the unimaginable ever happens to you then I urge you to hire Marcos Garza and his team immediately. I am a young man with a disability who said the wrong thing to the wrong officer, unknowingly setting into motion a chain of events and accusations that I never could have imagined. I won't go into extreme detail, but I was dealing with a case that seemed completely hopeless. Marcos was recommended to me by friends and by people in my professional circle who know him to be a trustworthy, honest, and hardworking friend and asset to the local community. After dealing with Marcos and his team directly, I am happy to be able to confirm his character, professionalism, class, and perhaps most importantly his unshakeable commitment to seeking real justice. Marcos' knowledge of the law, his straightforwardness, and his drive to achieve a fair outcome are completely unmatched. At the beginning of my case I turned regularly to these reviews on Avvo for encouragement and hope. The reviews are not merely hype! Marcos and his team are the real deal. There were moments where I felt like I would never have a clear path forward or any clarity regarding the future of my case. Whenever I felt this way, Marcos was happy to talk to me and encourage me to continue to fight. I can't say enough good things about Marcos Garza and his team. They all went far above and beyond the call of duty. In the end, Marcos Garza prevailed through unimaginable circumstances and fought to get me the fairest result imaginable. I'm extremely grateful for his unwavering commitment to my case. Marcos genuinely cares about his clients and treats them like family. If you are facing a charge that you don't deserve, then you NEED to get Marcos Garza and his team involved today. Make the wisest investment that you will ever make and hire the most competent lawyer and law firm in Tennessee, Garza Law to represent you right now.

Mr. Garza represented me in a rather tough situation and treated me with the utmost respect and professionalism inside and outside of the courtroom. He was well prepared and expressed his quick reaction and instinct for the job he does so well while representing me while making me feel comfortable and assured that I would be taken care of to the best of his abilities. He went above and beyond my expectations and I would never consider anyone else to represent me, I gained a role model and a genuine asset using his services and he provided an outcome that seemed impossible. 10/10 would recommend. My family and myself are very grateful to the hard work put forward by Marcos and his office.

Garza Law Firm (Marcos, Tim & their team) spent money upfront to investigate my husband's potential wrongful death case. They hired an expert and other professioals to review our potential case upfront. The investigation brought closure and peace to our family. Very professional, kind and caring. I personally met with them for 2 hours and we ALL sat together watching the experts. They took time out of their busy schedule for me to explain my husbands last days here on earth and it meant everything to me. I rate them a 10 out of 10 and highly reccomend them. It is rare to find a lawfirm with such character, kindness, and committment to their clients. I am eternally grateful to God for sending them to me.

Our daughter needed assistance with applying for Social Security Disability due to numerous medical conditions. Shawn Holden worked closely with us, along with attorney Haley Henry. Any questions or concerns we may of had, Shawn was readily available to help. We would recommend them(which we already have) to anyone needing assistance with filing for Social Security Disability. A+ to these ladies! Thank-you!!
