Garth is an astute strategist and is known for finding creative, cost-efficient, and effective solutions for clients with difficult legal issues.

Garth enjoys an excellent reputation among his clients, other lawyers, accountants and the courts.

From time to time Garth supports other lawyers who may be seeking to make a specific referral for a client due to a conflict or for a matter outside of their area of practice. He is sensitive to the issues concerning the management of another lawyer’s client and respecting existing client relationships.
