Business law case

Gary was a true asset to my business this year as we needed him for a business law suit to protect our business. Gary and his team fought for our rights and won on all accounts. I would recommend him to all of my business friends if the need ever arises. He was able to take stress off of me so tha...t I could stay focused on my business, and that was priceless! Gary and his team are top notch, highly recommend!

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.
