Pattie Garger, Esq - your lawyer for you

Ms Garger's remarkable reliance and tenacity developed through an atypical childhood which would lead other people to fear obstacles and make safe choices.  She was born in Colorado and was partly raised in Oklahoma. She is a second generation American whose family were migrant farmers. For her first ten years, she was raised by her grandmother for whom English was a second language.  Because of the language barrier, Ms. Garger was responsible for protect her grandmother.  Ms. Garger became a foster child which led to her desire to advocate for others, especially those who didn't have a voice. She graduated college cum laude then went on to attend law school as a single mother of three boys. She has two dogs, Rambo and Miss Kitty, who occasionally participate in managing PG Law.
