We had a great experience with our consultation with Terry Garrett. She described the pros and cons of several different options and we left with a great action plan. She treated my family with empathy and she truly wanted to help us. I highly recommend the Garrett Law Firm for special needs and estate situations.

Terry Garrett is AMAZING!

I engaged Terry Garrett at the suggestion of another attorney friend who knew her and felt very confident that she could help me. Terry is the first and only lawyer who has ever provided me with a copy of the Lawyer's Creed. I have hired at least 7 lawyers over the years and this was a 1st! She is a smart and exceedingly capable lawyer and a woman of high moral character. She did an excellent job for my family. and was generous with her time and knowledge. When we came up against something that she felt was not her strong suit, she did not hesitate to help me find the right person for the task ahead. I cannot speak highly enough of her skills, her compassion or the honesty and integrity with which she and her staff operate.

Terry did a great job helping us understand the legal ramifications of our estate planning and helped us through the entire process.

Terry was very helpful in Probating my mother's estate. She explained everything clearly and answered any questions I had. Will definitely recommend.

Terry was helpful in assisting with my mother's estate and the Medicaid application process. She explained things clearly and answered questions in a timely manner. I would recommend her firm to others.

When my brother died suddenly in the summer of 2021, I was completely at a loss as to how to proceed as he lived in Austin, Texas and I live outside Washington, DC. A cousin's probate attorney referred me to Terry Garrett. It was the best possible choice I could have made. Over Zoom, she very clearly explained what the process in Texas would be if there was a will or if there wasn't, and provided very clear fact sheets describing every step of the process for me to refer to as needed. As it turned out, there was no will which meant there was a longer process to determine heirship. The flat fee arrangement offered by her office was a great benefit through the lengthy process of obtaining court recognition as my brother's heir. It meant I felt free to email her office at any time if I had a question or concern without worrying about cost. When I was the executor of my parents' estate, each time I contacted the attorney in that case, there was another charge of $200-300. I can report that anytime I had a question, I knew that I would receive a response within 24 hours, if not the same day -- even on the weekend! Because Ms. Garrett and her associates were so conscientious about the case and ensured that documents were filed promptly, my petition was before the court and settled before the end of the year. (keep in mind because of Covid there were extremely delays in dealing with government officials everywhere.) I would highly recommend Ms. Garrett to anyone facing the need to deal with a family members' estate.

I loved that they emailed me my updates every time! Everyone was so nice! I will definitely use them in the future

She was extremely unorganized and unprepared. I felt she took my $250.00 and never contacted me again about my case. After my 30 minute consult I was so disappointed I didn’t seek any further advise. Initially she was very quick to respond but I should have known better when she claimed to not receive my documents after several times of me sending. I would steer clear of this law firm.
