I felt Gail was more sympathetic to my ex-spouse's situation, and not as much as mine or my child's plight! During our support negotiation, she didn't "fight" for my son, and instead, advised me to settle for a payment BELOW the minimum recommended payment! I went back later on my own (after she charged me for a very expensive fee to let the court know she no longer represented me) and got more money. I did more on my own without paying her very expensive fees!
Gail was never able to really listen to me, nor did she advocate for me as I thought a true "Super" attorney would. At the end of my two year QDRO case, I wrote Gail, and her two partners, a letter outlining 5 areas in which I was dissatisfied with Gail's work. No one ever answered me. Gail and her firm are very expensive. I would never recommend her. Use someone else who may really listen to you, work for you, and not cost as much.
My practice is concentrated in family law, including complex divorce cases and complex support and alimony litigation, prenuptial agreements, parental custody, grandparent custody, stepparent adoptions, and both interstate and international cases. I also practice the collaborative law style of dispute resolution, as an alternative to litigation, for those clients who prefer an alternative dispute resolution. Additionally, I prepare basic Wills and Powers of Attorney for my clients
