Gary Short is an excellent attorney/advocate

To begin with, Gary provided a free very THOROUGH consultation of my case (over the phone--which was important because I was too busy to come into anyone's office unnecessarily). During which he listened very carefully to the facts. He did not just assume that my case was like others he had heard be...fore, and I was impressed by this. After listening to the facts, and asking some question, he provided my options. This also impressed me, because it was clear he was knowledgeable in his area and this was all over the phone in the initial interview for FREE. Gary provided an up front estimate of his services. After I hired Gary, he stood by me, like a good friend every step of the way. My case was complicated and my life was hectic. I was recently divorced, and was being sued by some opportunistic out of state tenants. My insurance company bailed on me and I was up to my ears in debt with ridiculously high interest rates. I was a single mother, full time employee, in the midst of relocating for the job, business owner (landlord), up to my ears in debt with ridiculously high interest rates. I am a type A, attention to detail, person and I was literally overwhelmed (to tears) by my circumstances. Gary Short was the rock, that I needed and depended on. His work and attention to detail helped me to concentrate on the rest of my life, resting assured that he had the legal matters covered. What he said he would do, he did. What he said would happen, happened and along the way, he treated me like he had my back. He had my best interest at heart, like a good friend. He did an excellent job. Every step of the way, he explained all my options to me in a manner that enabled me to make informed decisions. He provided recommendations and I trusted his judgement and he did not fail me. I was very pleased with the outcome of my case. I HIGHLY recommend Gary Short.

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.

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.
