Mr. Higley, I would like to take this time to express my appreciation for the work you have done for my family. You have brought happiness to my niece and her children. I appreciate the work that you put in and the hours that you spent on my niece, Karrie Smith’s case. We are ecstatic that the case was in our favor and that Karrie has her child back with her and her other girls. Mr. Higley, I wanted you to know that my family had a long stressful journey with this case until we met you. I watched you in action on this case, you brought valid evidence in our behalf, you brought valid points to the case and were very strong on the arguments. When it came down to it, you were fantastic in the court room…
It was great doing business with you and if anyone needs a family lawyer you are definitely the one to call.
Garrett Higley and his team are phenomenal from every aspect within family Law. Garrett is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate to your needs, concise, upfront, thorough, fair and simply a great advocate. Him and his team have shown nothing but the utmost respect and attention to detail with my situation and have fought hard for me and my rights. His experience and art of his craft; are apparent and valuable. I would absolutely recommend using Garrett as an attorney if you are in need of an excellent family law practitioner.
I could go on and on about how great Garrett and his team are, how they have helped me tremendously through this stressful time in my life and how they actually care about me, my situation and a providing a positive outcome. Let me just say, Garrett was highly recommended to me by another attorney and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs an honest, hardworking and productive family law attorney
Garrett tackled what I thought was a hopeless situation head on. He turned his analytical attention to detail to the original divorce agreement, and told me point-blank what needed to be changed from the ground up. The negotiations with the opposing side went on for quite some time, but during these grueling exchanges Garrett never lost focus. Various approaches were utilized; everything from mediation to consulting third party attorneys who specialized in specific aspects of my case. His tenacity and expertise were invaluable, and he made himself available any time that I had a question or concern that needed to be addressed (important when conducting a divorce modification in Texas while residing in Virginia).
Eventually, we reached an agreement that was fair, and had the best interests of our daughter at the fore. The wrongs of the original divorce agreement were righted, the alimony was abolished, the child support was adjusted to a reasonable amount that adequately provides for my little girl’s well-being, and joint conservatorship was granted. Most importantly, my daughter and I now enjoy a renewed connection and are able to see each other regularly. The void in my life has been filled.
I’m not ashamed of sounding dramatic when I say that Garrett Higley gave me my life back. I would recommend him without a second of hesitation to anyone in the state of Texas who needs a family lawyer who is serious about aggressive representation while keeping family values firmly in the picture.
As an attorney myself, I have nearly impossible standards. So, I had originally planned to interview several divorce lawyers. An attorney I trust recommended that I speak with Garrett first. After we met, I cancelled the other interviews I had scheduled – I wanted Garrett on my side. That was one of the best decisions of my life, and my kids and I reap the benefits of that decision every day.
It was supposed to be a “simple” divorce — my ex and I had already agreed on the finances, the kids, on everything, really. But I had no idea of what was to come. Due to some very bad decisions on my ex’s part, this formerly simple divorce changed course, and I decided that my kids could only be safe and happy if they were living with me. Garrett and I never looked back, and thanks to him, I got more than I ever dreamed. My 3 kids are now very safe, extremely happy, and living with me, none of which would have been possible without Garrett.
Along the way, he helped not just as my attorney, but also as a friend through a very difficult and stressful time, giving me incredible advice when I needed it. I count myself lucky to count him as a friend to this day. Without his guidance and assistance, I wouldn’t be the dad I am now to my kids, and they would be in a much less happy place. We are so appreciative for everything he has done.
In my experience Garrett is personable and diligent and has no problems doing what has to be done. He prefers a sophisticated approach to family legal matters but keeps it simple with his clients. I appreciate that since I am not an attorney. My case was split between two states (Oklahoma and Texas) but, that challenge did not intimidate Garrett.
He asks intelligent questions to thoroughly understand the situation and be fully prepared. He empathized with me, despite my type-A personality, understanding what my goals were. He and his staff were in constant communication with me. They are very collaborative, efficient and truly cared about my end goal.
I like the fact that he tries a reasonable, peaceful approach to resolution with family matters but has no reservations about being aggressive. Garrett will destroy the opposition if it goes to war like in my case. The legal system seems like a game of chess and even if it doesn’t makes sense at the time, Garrett is thinking several steps ahead. That is rare in people no matter what their expertise.
Garrett is not the cheapest lawyer in town but he over delivers beyond what one would expect from counsel. I feel like I won a war against unbelievable odds and it was worth every penny to me for the relationship I now have with my daughter!
Another thing that impressed me about Garret was his solid business connections. Garrett feels strongly about his reputation. Based on the quality of associates and connections I was exposed to, like psychologists for example, it shows. They ALL gave Garrett priority. They were very professional and went above and beyond (just as I came to expect from Garrett) when they were brought in to the mix.
To sum this up, I want to say thanks so very much to Garrett and his amazing staff for the assist in my fight to be a part of my daughter’s life. I now have more than normal rights to see her and its all thanks to team Higley!
I highly recommend Garrett and his staff to you.
When I sought out a family law attorney, it was to help me get my estranged former boyfriend to relinquish his parental rights of my son. In my search for the right attorney, Garrett Higley was the only attorney that listened to what I wanted and was set on helping me reach a solution. He didn’t try to convince me otherwise or tell me that what I wanted was impossible, like I had heard from other attorneys. Not only did his firm maintain constant contact with me so we were always on the same page, but he and his staff worked hard to help me in a timely manner.
I would highly recommend Garrett’s firm to anyone seeking a family law attorney. His team was great to work with. Everyone had a positive attitude and was very focused and determined. Even after the final hearing, there were small issues that came up to be ironed out and Garrett and his team kindly jumped on board to help me out. Thank you!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about the law office of Garrett C. Higley. My husband and I came to Garrett during a very stressful, emotional time that required us to seek legal representation. During that time, we were treading water, just trying to figure out how to handle the situation. I remember our first meeting in his conference room and how he immediately put me at ease. He was confident, clear, and caring all in one. I could tell this guy knew what he was doing and was ready to fight on our behalf with every resource possible. For him, it was not just another case. We immediately developed a trusting relationship that continued throughout the entire process.
This may sound like a funny analogy…but he reminds me of a bulldog… someone who is going to fight until the very end on our behalf. His perseverance, concern for our welfare and personal nature are just a few of the many things we appreciated about Garrett and his staff. Throughout the process, they did an excellent job of keeping us in the loop on the status of our case. You could tell they really cared. That meant the world to me. And of course, they won our case!
For matters that can be highly emotional and personal, Garrett is your guy. He is going to fight for your case with every bit of skill and discernment he has. He is one of those people who you can just tell was made to be a lawyer. His knowledge of the law and his ability to articulate a clear defense is impressive. If I ever need legal representation (hopefully not!), I would absolutely go back to Garrett Higley.
