I am criminal defense attorney John Garey. While some people go out of their way to find trouble, most of the people I serve have spent a lifetime keeping their noses clean.

In 2003, I opened my solo law practice in historic downtown Dover in order to provide effective, affordable representation for good people who have found themselves in a bad legal situation.
