Very pleased I chose Gary...

Thank you for taking the time to critically analyze the police report and for ensuring that I am completely exonerated from the criminal charges. Brilliant lawyer!

Absolutely a star in his field

Gary is the real deal. Brilliant and compassionate. I tear up even writing this. I was blessed to have him on my case. Don’t be a lawyer if you can’t do it this way. You know he loves what he does.

Case dismissed!

Gary’s expertise facilitated the dismissal of a case brought against me by the State. From the first meeting until the last court date Gary thoroughly explained everything that could happen and what the outcomes would be pending the judge’s decision. My phone calls and text messages were all promptl...y responded to and I felt secure in knowing that he was working diligently to produce the best outcome for what was one of the most distressing situations I’ve ever been involved in.

On top of everything

Gary was an excellent thought partner and strategist while handling my pre-trial case. He was prepared and kept me informed every step of the way. In the end, Gary negotiated an outcome in my favor and went above and beyond to make sure I maintained my good name, peace of mind, and clean record.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
