The Garner Firm, P.C.

Lon Garner will fight hard for you. He's professional, compassionate, honest and reliable. Not only is he a great lawyer but also a brother in Christ. I highly recommend Lon Garner.

In my opinion, Mr. Garner is one of the most negligent and damaging attorneys I have ever encountered. He barely spent any time preparing for my mediation -- I have a recording proving he didn't even give it a full minute. He didn't notify me about my termination trial until 5 days before it happened, and then failed to file a motion for new trial within the 75-day statutory deadline. I wasn't told about my right to appeal until after the appeal deadline passed. He didn't raise basic constitutional arguments in a case that permanently severed my parental rights. He even admitted that he relied on out-of-court communications with a CASA supervisor -- someone who wasn't even in the case record -- to determine how to handle my case. That supervisor's alleged stance on termination was not reflected anywhere in official CPS records. Instead of fighting for me, Mr. Garner consistently blocked me, failed to advocate for my rights, and ultimately blamed me for the outcome that he failed to prevent. He showed no basic human decency, no fight, no integrity -- only delay, silence, and neglect. The damage he caused in my life is permanent. He doesn't understand the trauma he's inflicted, and worse, he doesn't care. If you are considering working with Mr. Garner, I strongly urge you to record every interaction, get every communication in writing, and do not trust him to protect your rights. He enabled misconduct and, in my experience, became part of it. For reference, my rights were terminated in the case he represented one week and then the following week in a separate case my rights were in the process of a return for my other children. Watch your back. Photo is an excerpt from an affidavit by Mr. Garner's legal assistant confirming most communications came from her, not him. Additionally, I would like to add that most, if not all, emails she's referring to came from AFTER the trial. Do NOT expect him to communicate.

Mr Garner was the most professional, compassionate and trustworthy attorney I could have had the pleasure of working with. Everything thing he promised he did, everything i could have hoped for was accomplished, in the most timely manner. He has my gratitude and respect, he couldn't have a better attorney.

I found Mr. Garner to be very professional and kind. He is very experienced and did exactly what he said he would do. I highly recommend him.

I can't thank Lon enough for everything he's done for me... He's experienced and very good at his job. Would definitely recommend!
