Thomas E Gay

He has over 20 years of experience in the Sussex county family court room and is an extraordinary, knowledgeable and intelligent attorney. You can tell he's passionate about his work and he gets to know his clients and their cases in depth. I personally find him to be an empathic person who tries his... very best to be there for his clients through painful and difficult times. His aggressiveness in the courtroom and in dealing/negotiating with the opposing party is only matched by his extensive knowledge of the law. He's very transparent about his fees and the possible outcomes of your case. He won't make false promises, but he will very likely deliver exceptional results in the end. Hands down one of the top family law attorneys in the state of Delaware.

After spending 18 months trying to fight for custody of my son without any representation, I hired Mr. Gay. Within months of hiring Mr. Gay I had custody of my son. He is aggressive and relentless. His dedication to my case was impressive. As a service member stationed in California, I need an attorn...ey who could work with me regardless of our distance. Mr. Gay was very good about communicating with me throughout the entire process. This was my first experience dealing with a lawyer and I couldn't have been more impressed with his professionalism. His knowledge of Delaware's family law is impeccable. I would recommend him in a heartbeat! He's what I would describe as an intelligent pit bull who embraces common sense and a "winning mindset." Thank you Mr. Gay for all of your hard work!!

My experience was not good. Mr. Gay seems very stressed most of the time, which trickles down to the client. In many encounters, both on phone and in person, he hinged on arrogant (and I'm being kind) and instead of trying to instill even the smallest amount of "calm" in a very stressful situation (...inherent in the divorce/custody arena) he exacerbated anxiety in his own client. Many times I asked myself "who's side is he on?" and I'm not easily offended. He seems well versed in family law and I imagine his edgy personality is useful in a courtroom setting, but he needs to be more "judicious" in its use and to whom it's directed. I suspect he has too large a case load - which is not good for anyone. Very happy to have my case concluded, for many reasons.
