Welcome

Meet Attorney Garballey-James

I value myself in getting to know my clients and understanding their individual needs. I am always transparent, honest, and dedicated to communicating with my clients.

The best defense is built upon a full and complete understanding of the case and the defendant. I always gather information in several different ways to better manage your case. This is pivotal in any court case, and it is always how I operate.

If you need to hire a criminal defense attorney, you will need someone who keeps you informed every step of the way, conducts independent investigations, and works collaboratively both inside and outside of her team to formulate the very best defense.
