We were both retired, living our dream. We were in our 6th year touring the country as fulltime RVers. We were involved in a collision, totalling our truck and seriously injuring Richard so much so that we had to abandon our dream of life on the road forever.
We engaged Garmey Law for their stellar reputation, led by Atty Terry Garmey, recipient of accolades for over 40 years.
Our case faced some hurdles early on. We filed a lawsuit against two parties - the other driver from the Netherlands and hard to track down, and the rental car company who filed a Motion to Dismiss, tied up in the court.
Over time, cases were reassigned and Atty Peter Richard took over our case. Peter called us, introduced himself, listened attentively to our story, and asked meaningful questions. He took command building our case. We were reassured by his firm conviction that we had been wronged. Peter was confident that he could win our case with a substantial settlement.
Peter jump started our case with a high level of commitment. Seeing that our case had stalled, he moved it to another county courthouse.
Peter researched the Rental Car Company's protocol for screening international drivers. When questioning the rental branch, he discovered that a key protocol step was not followed that day, adding credence to their liability.
Peter involved us in developing our case. He asked us for input, such as photos of life on the road and off the road, and our out of pocket expenses as a result of the accident. It felt good contributing to our case hands on.
Meagan Burnham, paralegal and Peter's assistant, was our very capable and reliable point of contact for questions and concerns. The case settlements came with attached liens which Meagan scrubbed and negotiated reductions with five insurance companys. Her hard work and followup ensured clear final settlement checks to us.
Beatrice Mattison, new as Litigation Case Manager with Garmey Law, joined our case around the time of our depositions and worked closely with Meagan preparing exhibits for trial. She was also excellent backup to Meagan for questions/concerns. Peter did a trial prep exercise with Rick telling his story directly to Beatrice (playing a juror) and she was a compassionate confidence builder for him for which he is very grateful.
Mediation and Deposition were two key milestones in our case where we verbally answered questions by a third party. We needed coaching and Peter mentored us on what to expect, how to answer a question and how to present ourselves favorably.
Around that time, Peter asked Terry to join the team. From this point on, the other parties wanted to negotiate settlements. Together, Peter and Terry gave us sound advice on the monetary risks of not accepting an offer of settlement and opting to go to trial. In the end, we accepted two settlements which in aggregate were incredible - more than we ever expected early on.
I strongly recommend Garmey Law's Peter Richard to anyone seeking a highly skilled and dedicated attorney who will fight for you to the end and win!
Peter has brought justice, peace of mind and new beginnings to us and I will remain forever indebted and grateful.

Marylou and I were full time RVers for several years - coast to coast, many states, annual visits to friends and family. We were living our dream, when on one day in August our dreams were shattered by a car, barreling through a stop sign at a high rate of speed, struck us, totaled our F350 truck, injuring both Marylou and myself.
After reaching out
Th to the other driver's insurance company and being denied compensation for a comparable vehicle to our truck, I knew we would need a good lawyer to help us.
After some research, we engaged Garmey Law for their standout resume. We met with Attorney Gary Goldberg and his assistant and told them our story. We were impressed by their compassion for us and their positivity about our case. I knew we had chosen the right firm.
We received a few calls from the firm tightening up details.
Enter, one of their best attorneys, Peter Richard, who took us under his wing, spoke with us on a regular basis, explaining and walking us through the ins and outs of the road to trial, like a close friend.
We had several meetings with Peter and there were a number of offers which he advised us on.
Through the brilliance and negotiating skills of Attorney Richard, he found a second avenue of compensation for the loss of my abilities and our lifestyle.
I cannot say enough about Peter's assistant and paralegal Meagan Burnham's support. She was patient and understanding in her approach and worked tirelessly on our case - talking with the Court and keeping us informed.
In the end, Attorney Peter Richard's tenacity and perseverance in pursuit of a fair judgment for Marylou and myself gave us more than we could imagine in two generous settlements, that have already rekindled our spirits.
I highly recommend Attorney Peter Richard as a fighter and brilliant tactician who will stand with you and be an exemplary advocate as a negotiator and in the court. My eternal gratitude.
Attorney Terry Garmey's wisdom end experience was invaluable to me personally and the case was strengthened by his presence.
Great team work at Garmey Law, lead by Peter Richard. I wholeheartedly endorse Peter Richard and Garmey Law!

Kendi Dykema at Garmey provided exceptional legal representation during one of the most difficult times in my life. She represented me in a damages case involving harassment, stalking, and the misuse of my personal information by a healthcare provider. From the very beginning, Kendi acknowledged the extreme emotional toll this situation had taken on me. Her empathy, patience, and thoroughness in preparing me for court made a world of difference.
When unexpected changes arose at the last minute, Kendi went above and beyond to adapt quickly--ensuring I was never left in uncomfortable or unsafe situations, including making sure I didn't have to wait near the defendant. Her meticulous preparation and calm confidence during questioning allowed me to focus on sharing my story and the impact of the harassment with the Judge.
Kendi's combination of legal expertise and genuine care for her clients was instrumental in achieving a positive outcome in court. I am deeply grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a compassionate and highly skilled attorney.
