An Excellent Attorney - Highly Recommend

Mr. Ireland ("Gary") is an excellent attorney who has provided various legal services to our firm over the past 7+ years. We found Gary to be thoughtful, thorough, highly competent, and very attentive to our needs. We always felt informed when working with him. Once you find a good attorney, you sti...ck with him/her as we have with Gary. We highly recommend Gary Ireland.

Consultation with a great attorney

I was having issues with an employer and consulted with Gary Ireland. I had taken short term disability because of a health condition of mine and when I returned to work, was facing pressure from management to leave my job. I consulted with Ireland about whether I should stay at my current company an...d fight for my job, sue them for discrimination, or look for another job. Ireland went over the pros and cons of each situation with me, and eventually I left the company. I was impressed with his knowledge and experience, his mental toughness, and an ability to handle sensitive matters (my disability). I would highly recommend him to anybody.

Thoughtful and compassionate Employment Lawyer

Gary has been a great source of thoughtful and compassionate employment advice as well as an excellent referral source for career coaching. His passion for justice and fairness drives his work on behalf of his client and definitely informs his approach to whatever situation he may be helping you deal... with. He will fight for you and knows how to network with social service and legal resources to best support his clients. I have and will continue to refer my friends and colleagues to him because I know that he will do everything possible to benefit them with concern and respect for their employment needs - but also their personal well being.

A dedicated and highly skilled corporate counsel

Gary has been my attorney for many years and has assisted our company in numerous legal domains from labor issues to government contracting. In addition, he utilized his broad circle of legal contacts and assisted us in interviewing and ultimately assembling a patent litigation team to protect our pr...oducts. One would be hard pressed to find an attorney with Gary's integrity, smarts, and dedicated commitment to his clients.

Dedicated and Tenacious

As an Executive Recruiter in high-tech, I run into significant labor law issues as part of the engagement and disengagement of executives in highly competitive situations. Gary has been a valued advisor and advocate in highly sensitive situations with big financial implications. I highly recommend... Gary for his dedication to his clients, and tenacity and skill as a lawyer.

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.
