When your son is dating someone with emotional issues, whom is unbalanced, it is scary enough. When your son tries to break it off, and that person takes a trip on the crazy train, and your son ends up being arrested because of it, it's terrifying. When you've had no legal experience, your family suddenly finds itself thrust into the scary legal world that's revolving around you, and evaluations and appointments and dates are being thrown at you. An appointed attorney who barely takes time to listen to your side of the story is thrown at you, and you fear for your sons' future. When we, unfortunately, found ourselves thrown into this situation, we called a friend who's family member is an attorney. The attorney highly recommended Tyler Garretson. We were told for a juvenile criminal case, there was no one better in Johnson County. When we first met Mr. Garretson, we were immediately impressed and put at ease. He took time out of his Saturday morning to meet with us, as we were too anxious to wait until Monday morning. Tyler was invested in our conversation and listened to my sons' side of the story and gave us the first glimpse of hope that we had had in this terrible situation. He made us feel a lot better about the situation that we were facing and was upfront and honest throughout the process. He was with us every step of the way, and we could email him at any time and he would always reply promptly. We were kept notified of what we needed to do, and never felt that we were alone in this scary world. We highly recommend Mr. Garretson. While we certainly hope to never have the need to use him professionally again, if trouble did arise, he would be our first call. read more
