5 /5 kayla Silva: If you’re unsure about choosing the right personal injury lawyer, look no further.
If I had to go through this all over again, I wouldn’t choose anyone but Mr. Leland Garvin. I want to publicly express my deep appreciation and gratitude for Leland and his team—especially Leland himself.
It’s been a difficult two and a half years since I was T-boned on September 20, 2022. Shortly after, Hurricane Ian hit, and I lost my job the same day. Everything was new and overwhelming—I had no idea how the legal system or insurance claims worked.
At first, I was skeptical. I’d heard all kinds of negative things: that lawyers lowball clients, drag out cases for money, or work with doctors and opposing insurance companies for their own benefit. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
Leland Garvin is the most professional, knowledgeable, patient, respectful, honest, kind, and genuinely caring person I’ve ever worked with. He’s also a devoted father and husband, and he treated me like family throughout this entire process.
Whenever I needed to speak with him, he picked up the phone—even during family vacations or personal time. I often felt bad for calling, but he never made me feel like a burden. I can’t thank him enough for his wise counsel and support.
My Injury Journey:
I suffered serious injuries:
• Bulging discs in C4, C5, and C6
• Herniated L4 and L5
• S1 fusion
• Whiplash
• Long-term concussion
Before the accident, I was a lifelong athlete and had never broken a bone or experienced chronic pain. Suddenly, I felt five times my age. My vision, speech, strength—even something as simple as getting out of bed or lifting a grocery bag—became a struggle. Some flare-ups left me on bed rest for two weeks.
Though I still experience occasional flares, they’re nothing like they used to be. I’m grateful for the excellent doctors I was connected with. Leland respected my hesitance around certain treatments and helped guide me to options that felt right for me. He never pressured me—he truly listened.
For the first time, I felt like someone was genuinely looking out for me—something I’ve rarely experienced in my life. Leland fought hard for me, and I’m truly happy with the outcome of my case.
I’m 23 now. It’s been a long, painful journey, but thanks to Leland and his team, I’m healing—physically, emotionally, and financially. I’m continuing to improve every day with the education and support he provided.
