Hunter Garnett provided exceptional guidance for our family while handling my mom’s car accident case. He clearly walked us through the entire process and recommended specialists when we were unsure what treatment she needed. I would highly recommend him and his firm to anyone needing knowledgeable, compassionate care for an injury case.
I was skeptical about working with a lawyer on my case but working with the team at Garnett Patterson has been a positive experience. Hunter is a top tier guy who wants to do right by his clients. Julio managed my case very well and helped me through the entire process
I spoke to Mr. Garnett about a potential employer case. He was very honest with me that I likely didn’t have a case to work up, but he didn’t try to hustle/schmooze me and tell me he could help me, knowing full well I likely wouldn’t win if I pursued the legal action. That itself spoke volumes about his character, that he didn’t just try to sell me a product! I would recommend him if you’re in need of legal assistance.
I messaged Mr.Garnett and he was quick to respond, he quickly was aware of the urgency and was transparent in the log of cases he is working.
He was gracious in putting me in the right direction and I was contacted almost immediately by his recommendation.
There is not one doubt in my mind, that in the event I need a personal injury attorney or know someone needing one I would highly recommend The Garnett-Patterson law firm.

Garnett Patterson has been great through my entire case. I had another injury lawyer in the beginning of my case and they weren’t keeping me informed well enough to know what the steps were as my case progressed. Garnett Patterson has a login software to keep track of your case and they communicate very well verbally to keep you at ease about the progress of your case. I recommend anyone to use Garnett Patterson injury lawyers.
There are no words to describe how pleased and happy I am with this office! From day 1 they treated me like family! We were in an awful accident where an unisured driver pulled out in front of us. We t-boned him going 65 and my femur was shattered at the knee. My children both sustained injuries as well. I could not walk or fuction enough to go home, let alone go to their office, so they came to the rehab facility I was in to give me a consulation.. Hunter face timed me from his anniversary trip in europe for this meeting. Talk about dedication! I had a very hard case with difficult out of state insurance providers that were dead set on taking every penny of any settlement I might receive. Which is quite disheartening when I was the one injured and fired from my job due to recovery time and am still recovering after a year. The insurance companies became very predatory in trying to take everything from me. Hunter and Lillian and team did everything they could to negotiate the amounts down. When they realized that unum, yes the company that gets paid to pay disability payment for events like this, wanted every penny they paid in short term disability back just because I received a settlement from the auto insurance, they lowered their own rates just to ensure i came out with something to offset the pain and stress the accident caused me! They are compassionate and very caring! I will recommend them to anyone who can use this team! I cannot express how well they treated me during this life altering event!
Hunter Garnett and his staff did an amazing job in representing us and got a fair judgment for our injuries. His advice and patience made a very stressful and difficult process tolerable. He's a man of faith and treats people with respect and dignity. I believe you will be well served by trusting this firm with your needs. God Bless!
I personally worked with Hunter Garnett on a wreck I had back in January 2022. Hunter made sure I didnt have to deal with much regarding insurance claims and personal injuries. He asked what I wanted back from my losses and got me the best deal possible. I was able to even avoid going to court and settled outside. Hunter too made sure to check in with me oh a regular basis! He really cares about his clients and treats them like a family member! Highly recommended if you find yourself looking for an excellent lawyer!
I couldn't be more grateful for the representation from Hunter Garnett and his team at Garnett Patterson Injury Lawyers. From the initial consultation to the final resolution, Hunter and his team were knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly effective. Hunter is a great lawyer! Their communication was excellent; I always felt informed and updated. They were well-prepared and were able to negotiate a favorable settlement on my behalf outside of court. Thanks to their expertise, I was able to recover the full amount I was owed. The relief I felt when my case was resolved was immense. I highly recommend Hunter Garnett to anyone needing legal assistance. His professionalism, knowledge, and dedication made a stressful situation manageable and ultimately successful.
I was involved in an accident with a commercial vehicle in September of 2023, which was deemed to be caused by the CDL driver almost immediately. The accident caused $13k of property damage to my car and came very close to totaling it due to the cost of repairs! Thankfully, no one was injured! The third-party company that handled the claim for the trucking and insurance company was very shady and unprofessional! I could go on all day about how stressful the situation was!
After several months, I spoke with the third party handling the claim about the possibility of a diminished value claim. I was advised I would need to purchase a damage estimate and submit it to them. I got the estimate; I attempted to submit the lost value claim to the third-party insurance representative with the trucking company, and I was advised I was owed nothing. It is well known that the value decreases when a car requires significant repairs after a collision, so I knew this was wrong! I knew I had to find an attorney.
I called at least four local attorneys in the Huntsville-Decatur area before I called Hunter's office. The first three said it basically wasn't worth their time, that with a 33% attorney fee, it was too small to take. I called a man in Birmingham who told me to call Garnett Patterson. Hunter without hesitation agreed to help me! He barely made anything taking this case; the monetary value was small. Hunter accepted my case because it was the right thing to do! I’ve also seen the things Hunter is doing for the Hispanic community, which without saying are a great act of selflessness! Hunter took it upon himself to help a fundraiser I had undertaken to pay for a memorial of a co-worker as well! I’ve even seen him help ppl add coolant to their cars outside the front of his office! He’s really one of a kind and a very genuine and down to earth guy!! If we had more people like Hunter, whose actions are driven by a genuine desire to help without expectation of a reward, this world would be a much better place!

It is with great pleasure and without hesitation to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding legal representation I received from Mr. H. Garnett. To begin with, I contacted multiple lawyers in the local area and as far as Birmingham, seeking legal services regarding a vehicle accident that my daughter (MH) was involved in when she was hit by another driver on County Line RD. When other lawyers discovered that there were no physical injury claims, they would be apologetic and tell me they couldn’t help, and they would refer me to another lawyer, then another and another. Finally, I contacted the Law Office of Garnett Patterson Injury Lawyers, and my prayer was answered. Mr. H. Garnett was THE ONLY lawyer to personally call me after normal working hours to discuss the situation with myself and my husband. After about an hour-long conversation, Mr. Garnett agreed to take our case. That speaks volumes!! Mr. Garnett showed a deep understanding and genuine concern of the situation.
Mr. Garnett took a personal interest in the case due to the situation and worked diligently to achieve the best possible outcome. Mr. Garnett and his staff kept me, and my husband informed during the entire process and addressed any concerns promptly, even when he was on vacation! Any time we had a concern regarding the case and the interaction between our insurance company, Mr. Garnett and his team reassured us, and did an amazing job! I am incredibly grateful for their dedication and would not hesitate to highly recommend them to anyone seeking legal counsel for injury claims/vehicle accidents.
When the case was completed Mr. Garnett asked my husband to come to his office. My husband was blown away by Mr. Garnett’s down to earth, personable and honest persona, and I can say without a doubt that anyone who hires Mr. Garnett will be dealing with a person of very good moral character, integrity, and dedication!!
