The Garrett Law Firm
We give Terry our highest recommendation.
We are exceedingly grateful to Terry for her guidance on our recent family issue. Her direction helped us to avoid what could have been highly detrimental to our family and ensured the best result possible for a very difficult situation. When the situation evolved, she ensured that we knew how to adjust to it. We never felt personally judged, but that our issues were well understood.
We appreciate that she clearly stays up to date with not only issues directly related to her work, but with those which are ancillary to that work, understanding that that knowledge will be helpful for her clients.
We give Terry our highest recommendation.
I am most grateful for her efforts.
Terry Garrett latched onto and indefatigably persisted in researching and constructing the solid foundation in a case opposing guardianship. I felt like I could visualize her viewing this case as if it were a three dimensional object turning in her hands to view it from every direction. This hard systematic work remains regardless of the case outcome. I am most grateful for her efforts.
Ms. Garrett is extremely knowledgeable, ethical and passionate about her work.
She provided my sister and I with an excellent overview of benefits that should be explored for our mother. She gave us the contact info for private individuals and government agencies who could provide support in that research process. We found her empathetic and down-to-earth and walked away with a clear understanding of what the parameters are.
Terry Garrett really “gets it.”
If you’re in Central Texas and need an estate attorney, new will, have retirement concerns, need to set up special needs trusts, need a power of attorney for a special needs child or adult… Terry Garrett is AWESOME! I highly recommend her.
I don’t know what our family would have done without her when my mom passed away without a will, when we were fighting with the school district for our special needs adopted children, when I needed powers of attorney… Terry was always there to help. She really “gets” it.
Terry has been the go-to legal and practical advice source for my family for over a decade.
She brings expertise in finance and global business to the practice of estate planning and elder law. I have consulted her about small business planning, estate planning, and probate. I am always amazed at how lightly she wears her expertise and how generously she shares it. She combines professionalism and integrity with empathy, making it possible to plan with confidence and breathe easier in the face of an uncertain future. I have recommended her to friends who have reported back how impressed they were with her personally and how easy she made it to accomplish what they needed.
Ms. Garrett did an OUTSTANDING job!
I went to Ms. Garrett to have my Mother-In-Law’s will probated.
I was pretty nervous from going thru this with my husband death and not having a good experience with my attorney at that time, so I did extensive research to find a good one!
I found…THE BEST!
Ms. Garrett is professional, extremely knowledgeable, very kind and her fees are more than fair! We discussed my options, she explained everything, she stayed in contact with me and made the entire experience pleasant, quick and easy!
I highly recommend Terry Lynn Garrett for all your elder law, estate planning, guardianship, special needs planning and probate needs you may have!
She does what she says she is going to do in a very timely manner.
Ms. Garrett was professional, caring and immediately addressed my “emergency” needs. I did not feel like a file or a case number working with her. I would recommend her to any person needing knowledgeable and compassionate legal help. This power woman is not a procrastinator and she does what she says she is going to do in a very timely manner. I am thankful that I found Ms. Garrett and highly recommend her.
She is a smart and exceedingly capable lawyer and a woman of high moral character.
I engaged Terry Garrett at the suggestion of another attorney friend who knew her and felt very confident that she could help me. Terry is the first and only lawyer who has ever provided me with a copy of the Lawyer’s Creed. I have hired at least 7 lawyers over the years and this was a 1st! She is a smart and exceedingly capable lawyer and a woman of high moral character. She did an excellent job for my family and was generous with her time and knowledge. When we came up against something that she felt was not her strong suit, she did not hesitate to help me find the right person for the task ahead. I cannot speak highly enough of her skills, her compassion or the honesty and integrity with which she and her staff operate.
I would highly recommend Ms. Garrett to anyone facing the need to deal with a family members’ estate.
When my brother died suddenly in the summer of 2021, I was completely at a loss as to how to proceed as he lived in Austin, Texas and I live outside Washington, DC. A cousin’s probate attorney referred me to Terry Garrett. It was the best possible choice I could have made. Over Zoom, she very clearly explained what the process in Texas would be if there was a will or if there wasn’t, and provided very clear fact sheets describing every step of the process for me to refer to as needed.
As it turned out, there was no will which meant there was a longer process to determine heirship. The flat fee arrangement offered by her office was a great benefit through the lengthy process of obtaining court recognition as my brother’s heir. It meant I felt free to email her office at any time if I had a question or concern without worrying about cost. When I was the executor of my parents’ estate, each time I contacted the attorney in that case, there was another charge of $200-300. I can report that anytime I had a question, I knew that I would receive a response within 24 hours, if not the same day — even on the weekend!
Because Ms. Garrett and her associates were so conscientious about the case and ensured that documents were filed promptly, my petition was before the court and settled before the end of the year. (keep in mind because of Covid there were extremely delays in dealing with government officials everywhere.) I would highly recommend Ms. Garrett to anyone facing the need to deal with a family members’ estate.
I am so grateful for the advice we received from Garrett Law Firm…

Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Terry did a great job helping us understand the legal ramifications of our estate planning and helped us through the entire process.
Terry Garrett and her staff were great.
Terry suggested several things regarding our estate that we didn’t even know about. We made several changes at the last minute and she was very gracious about making the changes.
We also used Terry to designate my husband as executor for his Mother’s will with the court. She made the process easy, was in court with him.
We felt that her fees were very reasonable for the probate and our estate documents.
Excellent Attorney!
We could not be more pleased to have found Terry. She is responsive, very knowledgeable and easy to work with. She quickly answers email questions and requests for information. Over one weekend, Terry produced documents that a previous attorney had not produced within seven months! We can highly recommend Terry Garrett.
Terry Garrett is exceptional.
She went well above and beyond in helping me with my parents. I couldn’t have been more pleased and would recommend her to anyone.
Excellent Choice
After consulting with multiple attorneys, we selected Terry Garrett to handle the probate for the estate of a dear deceased friend. From the time of our first meeting with Terry we knew we had made the right choice. Through her expertise, professionalism, integrity, and generous accessibility we were able to get thru this process in a smooth and orderly manner, without any glitches or surprises. Well, with one major exception; her very affordable final invoice. Thank you, Terry!
I recommend her for any family law issues.
I would have to say that Terry has been the most professional lawyer I have had the pleasure to deal with. During a time of crisis in my family, she was willing to meet with me after working hours to help me with a guardianship application. Terry explained the process in detail and what I needed to do. She kept me informed of how the case was progressing and what the next step was.
I had to stop the guardianship process and Terry understood my issue and worked with me to get some of the money refunded. I’m deeply grateful to her because she showed compassion and provided me with resources. I recommend her for any family law issues.
