Michael Wilbur Gast

Mr. Gast helped me get what I wanted and more in a very difficult divorce. I was very worried and scared going through a divorce trial. However, Mr. Gast excels in the courtroom and I knew he was working hard for me and my family. He prepared me for what would happen in a trial and I felt at compl...ete ease even being cross examined. Mr. Gast knew what evidence he needed from me and used it wisely in the trial. Mr. Gast has been a lawyer for a long time, so I trusted his judgment and everything turned out even better than I expected. He has a lot of experience working with judges and knows how to best present your case. Even with difficult witnesses Mr. Gast was able to get the key issues brought out, and I knew great preparation had gone into being ready for those moments. Throughout the trial I always felt that I had a great warrior on my side. On a lighter note, Mr. Gast is a great storyteller and can help take your mind off the trial. He helps you relax just by telling you stories that put your mind at ease. You can laugh with him and trust his judgment. I highly recommend Mr. Gast representing you if you’re going through a divorce, especially one going to trial.

I hired Michael Gast for my divorce and child custody. He was very reasonable on attorney fees knowing I didn't have a lot of money. He is very knowledgeable on the laws and was able to give me several options and guided me through the best options for my particular case. Mr. Gast was always very wel...l prepared and a very aggressive lawyer in the courtroom. He made sure my kids got to stay with me and that was the most important thing. I would definitely hire Mr. Gast for a child custody and divorce case.

First, I would like to offer my sympathies if you are reading this review. You are absolutely enduring one of the worst and most challenging times of your life. I’m sorry. That said, Michael Gast was a stable and sane force when it seemed everyone around me appeared to be losing their collective m...inds. My situation was particularly painful, because we were up against one of the most belligerent and pugnacious attorneys in the county. An attorney that clearly preys on emotional distress. She was absolutely unreasonable, irrational and in my opinion, unethical from the start. Her clear objective was to wear us down with unreasonable demands and minutia. Mr. Gast handled all of the insanity with a steady hand and mind and sincere demeanor which did, in the end, prevail. It is extremely difficult when the court system treats you like a criminal simply because of your gender and the pandering of the other side. It does seem like there will be no good outcome when you face a biased magistrate time after time. However, in the end, a judge did see the belligerence and dishonesty of the other side. When in front of a fair and reasonable judge, you want representation like that provided by Mr. Gast. Sincerity, honesty and restraint go a long way in the courtroom. As much as I wish that I didn’t need Mr. Gast’s services, he was the one bright light when everything seemed so bleak and dark.

I wish I would have seen the first review prior to obtainng this attorny. The only reason I selected him was because the ad stated that they were "affordable". That is far from the truth. You will have to hire a bankruptcy lawyer after he is finished with you. I was charged .15 hour @ $250 for 30... second voice mails. charged .25 hour for review of email sent, but never heard back from the office concerning the issues addressed in the email. Charged .15 hour for forwarding court notices. Unless you have money to burn AVOID this attorny. He doesnt keep me apprised of situations concerning my case, and charges above and beyond what I would consider reasonable.
