Hired Attorney

Attorney Garnett is ,obviously, a young but seasoned attorney who has the respect of his peers and who is a consummate pro. Pretty spiffy I might add. He is knowledgeable and smooth, precise and attentive. His calm demeanor moves things quickly and he is not shy to tell you when to calm down. You get every chance to explain your position and question any process. All you have to do is listen first. That's exactly why I hire an Attorney and this is exactly who Mr Garnet is. An absolute rising star in New Haven Family Law circles. Nice hire Ms Welty Thanks Mr Garnett

Hired Attorney

If you want a positive resolution to your case, do NOT hire Attorney Garnett. He does not do anything he states. The law firm partner Attorney Esposito and Attorney Garnett manipulate the contract to their benefit. Attorney Garnett did not abide by the attorney-client privilege. He shared confidential information with the defendant's attorney that should NOT have been shared. He has made it a worse situation than when we retained him. He is not there for his clients. We brought up many issues that we found to Attorney Garnett. He brushed them off and now our issues are worse. Had to retain another law firm that agrees that what this law firm did was wrong. I would give them zero stars if I could. STAY AWAY

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
