Garner & Garner, P.A.

Do not believe any of the comments located on Garner and Garner’s website as they are all written by family friends or (seemingly) associates. I contacted Garner and Garner’s attorney Kelly Kilroy in May 2013 regarding my desires to file a divorce of my spouse who resides in Ghana to which she assured me that it would «be no problem as she could mail the documents for signature» and complete the divorce in approximately «three months.» Total wine and dine moments to secure the business. She further stated that I must make payment in full– my first mistake as she has no motivation to provide follow-​up or even complete this case. I made the payment in full of which she assured me included everything. Needless to say I was called by her seemingly over worked assistant to say that I needed to pay an additional 150 because the initial payment didn’t include the court filing cost. Excuse me. When a client is paying for a service and asks for the total cost breakdown, I think this is an important part to include wouldn’t you think. Additionally, upon taking my money they ceased to provide any responsible follow up to the case… well no follow up as I had to call (waited 3 months after payment to give them time) to ask what was the status of the case to which Kelly gives me a sob story about her assistant going on leave etc… I think it would be safe to say had she paid for a service, she would be lock in tight about anything deemed substandard. And make no mistake about it, she is a substandard professional in my opinion. Needless to say, here it is Jan 2014 and nothing significant has happened on the case. Take your money to a more reputable attorney but make sure that you insist that half payment is paid immediately with the remaining coming at the successful completion of the action. No wonder legal professionals get such a bad reputation with people like Kelly Kilroy amongst them. Bottomline, not worth the money.
