Career[]

Garber is considered a legal expert on political investigations and impeachment.[6] He defended four United States governors facing impeachment, including:

Garber was a partner at Shipman & Goodwin where he chaired the firm's government investigations and white collar defense group. He was hired by Rowland who at the time was under federal investigation for corruption and later resigned prior to impeachment.[7]

Garber argued before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit that public officials and government lawyers have an attorney-client privilege in grand jury investigations.[8] In 2005, the court agreed, rejecting contrary holdings of the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the Seventh, Eight, and District of Columbia.[9]
