I would recommend anyone who has experienced an economic setback in their life to get in touch with Attorney Short. He is a professional and very dedicated to protecting his client's assets in a stressful environment. Attorney Short's advice help to save my home and a large part of my retirement savi...ngs while making sure my creditors received fair compensation. His support has helped to heal many wounds I and my family have suffered as a result of the economic down turn of 2007-08.

He saved my business

Without Gary's incredible attention to detail and knowledge of bankruptcy law, I would not still be in business. I had creditors that were fighting my first plan and he not only resolved those issues, but had numerous interest issues removed to help me fund the plan. My second plan was strictly a ...tax issue based and he managed to get it approved, in spite of the opposition from the tax agencies.

Looks out for your interest

Throughout my business career, I have had the opportunity to work with many attorneys. Gary Short listened to my issues, created a strategy, and implemented that strategy flawlessly. Gary is very easy to talk to, get a hold of either by email or phone and was very attentive in listening to my co...ncerns. I would, without question, recommend Gary Short to assist anyone regarding legal advice for bankruptcy issues.

Gary Short Employed a Strategy that Worked Perfectly

Gary Short was our attorney in a bankruptcy strategy that included both corporate and personal bankruptcies. He used a strategy that worked very well for us to come out ahead once all were settled. His knowledge of the law and ability to strategize for our particular situation was truly impressive. ... I would highly recommend him as an attorney and have recommended him to friends and acquaintances in the past. Thank you, Gary!

Excellent Attorney

Gary Short provided outstanding legal advice and guidance during my bankruptcy. He came highly recommended to me by my primary attorney who was helping me with past due taxes and was considering Ch 7 for us. Unfortunately I could no longer work within the IRS repayment plan once I realized that I... was accruing more than $10K in penalty & interest annually and bankruptcy seemed the only alternative. Gary was a true blessing to my situation. He immediately squelched the Ch 7 plans because I made too much income and would have been denied with no other options to consider. I knew he was the right attorney for me when he called me early on a Sunday morning and said: "I've been laying in bed trying to think of a strategy for you and I think I have it..." And his strategy worked very well for my situation considering the IRS was involved. I am extremely grateful for Gary's expertise and guidance. Our plan was very fair for all parties as I did not want to just walk away from my debt but wanted a fair and reasonable plan to repay and cease the overwhelming IRS penalty & interest charges.
