“Excellent trial skills and very professional”

“For my first job in Southwest Florida, I was invited to work with Jeff Garvin and Theodore "Ted" Tripp. These gentlemen were and remain two of the very best Attorneys in the State in their very different practices with Mr. Garvin handling catastrophic injury cases and legal and medical malpractice matters. Mr. Tripp is one of the sharpest and best commercial and civil litigators who handles a broad range of complex litigation matters and is triple Board Certified in Appellate, Business Law, and Civil Trial. I had the pleasure of meeting Leland many years before he became an attorney and we instantly had a special bond. Leland ultimately attended law school and we maintained our friendship and communication as he worked as a State Attorney and then a State-wide Prosecutor while living and working on the East Coast of Florida. When he ultimately decided to relocate home to Southwest Florida he took the legal community by storm establishing a law firm with his father. He has become one of the most respected attorneys in our community and takes great pride in giving back to our community championing causes to protect our environment and its waterways, and doing everything in his power to ensure that the natural beauty of Southwest Florida is never destroyed. We speak with one another regularly to discuss legal matters and the nuances of our different experiences and different practices. He is an attorney to who I regularly refer clients knowing that the individuals I refer to him will be treated with the utmost respect and will receive the very best legal representation and the best results in their cases. Leland also often refers me matters that are outside of his areas of expertise. Leland is, has been, and I truly believe will forever be a spectacular attorney, an incredible advocate, and a protector of our community, and the environment that makes Southwest Florida an extraordinarily beautiful place to live, work, play, and visit. When he's not working to help and protect his clients, he's working even harder to protect both our residents and visitors, the environment, our natural resources, and everything that makes Southwest Florida the incredibly beautiful place that it is. Leland is an incredibly good attorney, a protector, and a truly wonderful person.”

“Leland is the managing partner at Garvin Injury Law. He cares more about his client's wellbeing and healing than any attorney I have ever met. I am honored to fight along side him for our clients. He is a brilliant legal mind who knows the law inside and out. He is a great mentor and a wonderful trial partner. He has allowed me to grow in the law as his trial partner and help mentor our staff to understand the work that we do day in and day out makes the world a better place one person and one family at a time. He is a strong advocate and a gentle heart all at the same time. He cares, he fights, and he wins!”
