Recommend Highly!

As conservator for a nursing home-bound client in a neighboring county, I was faced with a barrage of overwhelming problems and received absolutely no assistance from the local attorney. Upon receiving a foreclosure notice from the reverse mortgage company on my client's home, which had just suffere...d arson, I met with Gary Fuller for a consultation and immediately hired him to help with the myriad problems I was facing regarding the property and the possibilities of declaring bankruptcy on behalf of my client. Gary was a blessing. Not only did he take the weight off my shoulders but he dealt with an impossibly frustrating mortgage company with excellent professionalism and patience, explaining each step to me along the way. He even seemed to relish the challenges posed in the case, always maintaining a positive outlook combined with a good sense of humor. With Gary's unwavering help during a difficult and long process, we managed to sell the property to a local developer. I am so thankful to have found him and would have no hesitation in hiring him in the future, or in recommending him to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, attentive, responsive attorney.

An Attorney you can definitely count on and trust

My wife and I spent 4 years trying to climb out of a hole that was created from unemployment and medical bills. We tried negotiating with credit card companies and even went as far as to pay a debt management company for 15 months. We were able to accomplish absolutely nothing… My wife suggested w...e look into bankruptcy. Scary - very scary…but absolutely the best decision we could have made. Gary and his team were very understanding of the situation and it's sensitive nature. Knowing it is embarrassing, Gary makes you feel at ease through his experience and knowledge of the bankruptcy laws. He not only gave us 100% accurate advice but was able to get us from A to Z without causing any pain to our family. Without Gary and his ability to walk us throughout the process, I would still be drowning in debt. Instead - Here I am with 2 new cars, a credit card that is manageable and about to buy a new home. And its been less than 24 months since my discharge. Gary is now assisting with my estate planning which I'm glad to say I now need. If there is any doubt as to who to call - please do yourself a favor and call Gary. HE WILL HELP.

Excellent attorney

I retained Gary to handle several legal matters for me, including a rather sophisticated estate matter and a real estate transaction. There were significant issues with both matters that, but for Gary's expertise and knowledge, would have gone very poorly for me. I would recommend Gary to anyone wh...o needs a sharp attorney who really works hard for his clients.

Incredible Integrity and Professionalism

Mr. Gary Fuller has been our Family’s attorney for many years; he has worked for my mother-in-law and for my wife and me. Gary has always been extremely professional and has never guaranteed any result, other than the commitment to do whatever he can to deliver a favorable one. Gary has helped us in ...matters of Real Estate, Bankruptcy, Property Settlement issues, Car/Auto Accident/Injury, Title, and in a Reckless Driving Charge. Gary has always represented my family and Tate, Bywater, & Fuller with exemplary Integrity, honesty and with utmost professionalism. All issues were resolved in our favor and satisfaction.

Best of the Best!

I have used Gary for years to do my Real Estate investing transactions and he has always been very professional and responsive. He has reviewed unusual documents for me regarding Lease Optioning, and has performed many "out of the box" duties for me while keeping everything within the framework of V...irginia law. He also helped my family when an uncle got into financial difficulty and had to declare bankruptcy. I highly recommend Gary and his excellent staff!
