Excellent Lawyer!

Gale Elston helped me and did excellent contract work for me. I found her to be very responsible, effective, and ethical. Highly recommended.

Gale Elston was knowledgable and understanding of the artist- dealer relationship

Gale Elston represented me when an art gallery owing me money failed to pay. Although the gallery went bankrupt Gale Elston was knowledgable and understanding of the artist- dealer relationship and the art world challenges for an artist.
