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.

Empathic and Efficient team

Gary and his assistant Karen helped me with a bankruptcy that I was very apprehensive about doing. They met with me whenever I needed to- were extremely responsive to my often incessant emails. They worked around my schedule and met my every need with accuracy and care. It was such a pleasure work...ing more closely with Karen to obtain the needed information and finally upon the day of filing, I met with Gary and he was able to comfort me and walk me through the process step by step. I felt very comfortable in their office- the receptionist was always friendly and accommodating. Overall, I'd gladly refer Gary and his team and rate their services as excellent. It was not only a weight lifted off my shoulders when I completed the filing, but it was their warmth and concern that left me with the feeling of relief, that I have good people backing me up.

Gary Fuller - excellent in every way!!!

I have already recommended Gary to an a person I met while working at the FAA (Theresa H.). She later gave me a big thanks for sending her to him. My wife and I have used Gary twice in the past 3 years. We have always had good credit scores (both of us near 800). During the housing crisis we ca...me into unfortunate circumstances which caused us to file bankruptcy. We were so ashamed, but Gary helped us understand, that based on our past (responsible spending) that we should recognize that our situation was not all our fault and he treated with dignity and respect every step of the way! A couple of years later we hired Gary again to help us in an eviction case. We owned a rental property where the tenants were way behind on rent and would not leave, but gave every excuse in the world. We ended up going to court and Gary did everything for us. The tenants told a real fictional story to the judge and if Gary wouldn't have been in court with us, I think those tenants might still be there. Thanks Gary!!!
