This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Consult

Gary was extremely professional and helpful during a consultation. He played no games like others I previously worked with, and thankfully I ended up not needing his services; however he would have been the lawyer I needed to help me through my IRS audit issues as they played their games. He gave m...e a clear, concise path to take care of my issues with fair, honest pricing structure. I would highly recommend this lawyer and his staff to all.

Ineffective, unprofessional, over charged

Hyman did not return unused funds, gave me hand written receipts, wanted to charge $2500 for a minor case review, got emotional and made unprofessional personal slurs when i chose to go elsewhere. He gave me not a single insight or opinion regarding my case and charged me $500 for a 25min free consul...tation without ever signing me on a contract or agreement. Found several peers who provided me a wealth of positive information and took my case for far less than what Hyman tried to get for just an initial case review. He got angry and spiteful upon hearing this truth and punished me by keeping my funds which I am in process of having returned.

While we are sorry to hear that the former client was unhappy with our services, we feel the need to correct the record. Every case is unique based on the facts and circumstances provided and the former client’s case was no exception. Client presented significant issues that extended over multiple years. We met with the client for over an hour; client paid a retainer for representation; and client communicated his desire to begin immediately. Work began immediately; materials were initially reviewed and organized; related proposed documents were drafted; and a plan of action formulated. Only after initial work was commenced did client communicate his decision to discontinue the representation. Client received an invoice for our services. Client was billed only a portion of the time our firm spent on the representation. Client contacted us; requested that we represent him; and asserted that he would pay for our services. All client property and remaining retainer were returned immediately after representation ceased. At no time was it suggested or stated to the client that the initial meeting or our work was a “free consultation.” We hope that the former client can resolve his legal issues.

  • 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.
