So Thankful That Someone Recommended Gary Alembik!

I first met Gary Alembik in 2013 when I needed an attorney to help me with my divorce. I quickly perceived that Gary was a highly knowledgeable and skilled attorney. He is proficient & articulate both in and out of the courtroom. While he is very focused and intentional about the work at hand, he al...so takes the time to display respect, empathy, kindness and intuitiveness. Gary consistently returned calls and emails in a timely manner, with thorough well composed answers. During the few times he was delayed in responding to an email or phone call, he gave me a courtesy text message or email with an apology and a reason for the delay and a time frame for when he would contact me - I really appreciated that. I was shocked at the amount of paperwork involved in the legal process but he proved to be well organized and he filed all the required court documents on time while keeping me informed and copied during the entire process. He was always on top of the situation regardless of what unexpected event would occur. Gary's thoughtfulness and courteousness are displayed in simple gestures such as pouring his client a cup of coffee or glass of water, opening a door for you, asking how you are - and really caring about what you are saying. I learned that Gary was someone that I could trust. I had complete assurance that he was "on it". He never wasted time. Gary will share in brief, simple small talk, but will effortlessly shift gears to get down to business. He conducts himself with a level of professionalism, quality of character, moral uprightness & integrity that I have not seen in many people. His pursuit to do good and to make a difference in the lives of others extends outside of billable hours. Sound too good to be true? Definitely not. He fought for me and my daughter, he really cared about us and I was very proud to have him for my attorney. Gary Alembik is a truly impressive man, a unique individual and an AWESOME attorney. A++

I Can Highly Recommend Gary!

I never received anything but the best from Gary. I always receive same-day callbacks and immediate action. His advice has always been on point. He was always looking out not only for me, but also for my children. The few times my best interests were not the same as my children’s best interest he let... me know it and kept me on track in thinking about my children. He was always advising me to “take the high road,” and while it may not always have been easy, it was always the right thing to do, and paid off in the end. Gary cares about his clients and it shows in his actions and behavior. I always knew he was good just by talking to him in his office, but when we got to court he showed me another level of his brilliance! If you are looking for a lawyer that will make empty promises, look elsewhere. If you are looking for a lawyer that will talk straight to you, give you great advice, and fight for you inside and outside the courtroom, Gary Alembik is your man!

Divorce involving a business settlement

Gary Alembik was professional and accessable throughout my Divorce that was complicated due to a business partnership and a 35 year marriage. He always advised me to take the "high road" and to remain rational in the storm. He also recommended that I always do what was fair and just to BOTH of us. I'...m thankful for his guidance because I kept my integrity and can heal from the emotional fallout of a divorce with no regrets. Mr. Alembik also strongly supported mediation to avoid more suffering and expense, I appreciated that even though it wasn't successful. He was concerned about me as a client but also as a human being. I received the best legal service with integrity and professionalism possible.

"I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Alembik on several matters over the years. As you would expect, based upon his experience, he is an outstanding attorney that understands both the legal and personal nature of the cases he handles. What sets him apart from other attorneys, from my perspective, is his true love and passion for the law. I don't think there has ever been a time that I saw him that he did not enlighten me regarding a new case that came out or a new twist being made on an old argument. He truely loves his profession in a way that is refreshing to see. I strongly endorse his work without any reservation."
