Divorce /Custody

Gary is awesome! He know family law and very straight forward. He explains everything so that you understand your case. What’s most important he listens and get to know his client. He is very well organized dependable and honest. Overall I was very pleased with my divorce and custody. Thank God for G...ary Alembik

Competent. Smart. Reassuring. Call him!

I chose Gary to handle my divorce; the opposing lawyer represented the Petitioner, Gary represented me as the Respondent. I hired Gary because he impressed me as being unusually knowledgeable about the process details--not just the big picture--and more important, he is calm. As a former family court... judge and now an mediator and family law attorney, I was confident he'd already experienced whatever my case would bring. I was right as he knew what to watch out for and recognized immediately what was missing from the opposing lawyer's documents. Between July and September, and prior to hiring Gary, I'd reviewed four different iterations of opposing counsel's error-filled documents. Given the dozens of repeated grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors, not to mention content errors referencing property not owned, proposed visitation schedules for 2014, and directions for filing 2016 tax returns (even though it was 2018!), I was very worried about what legal issues opposing counsel had wrong as well. Gary thoroughly reviewed the 5th version of drafts and immediately noticed opposing counsel's failure to draft the required Child Support Addendum; the incorrect format for the Settlement Agreement, multiple unnecessary details in the Parenting Plan; and the Plaintiff's improperly completed Child Support Worksheets. Gary patientily explained each step of the process so I'd know what to expect and sadly had to similarly "instruct", or perhaps remind, opposing counsel as well. Gary caught a critical error in the opposing counsel's Request for Judgement on Pleadings that contradicted all the documents already filed and would've delayed the ruling. Gary's experience and intellect was exactly what I needed to safeguard myself from the opposing counsel's continuous inattention to detail and seemingly willingness to file false documents as demonstrated by his failure to correct errors from version to version. This was an uncontested divorce (no court time) so while I cannot speak to Gary's courtroom abilities, I'm certain based on the time and thoroughness he did provide, he would have delivered exactly what was needed during a hearing. I've already asked Gary if I may refer him if asked and am very grateful to the person who referred me to him!

Excellent Lawyer!

Gary represented me in a modification of custody and modification of child support case. Gary is honest, knowledgeable, ethical, and caring. He has an excellent understanding of the law, is precise, detail oriented, thoroughly prepared with all documentation well in advance so there are no surprise...s, genuinely concerned about his client, is very reliable and has excellent communication and response time. Gary did an amazing job representing me. He was always thinking about what would be in my best interest. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend Gary Alembik.

Highly recommend

Gary Alembik demonstrated tremendous expertise in my ongoing child custody case. I have used Mr. Alembik over a period of 10 years. I can only say positive things. My daughter is in my custody today because of him. I was able to take her out of state amongst many other issues. He handled everyth...ing with confidence and integrity. I highly recommend Mr. Alembik for any families needs. I would not Trust my childs future to any other attorney.

Angel on Earth...Representing the Law!

There are very few times in life when you meet someone that has accepted their true calling in life. It was abundantly clear from our first meeting that Mr. Gary Alembik was born to be an attorney. His charming personality, infinite wisdom and serving heart was a welcomed surprise when meeting an att...orney of his caliber. Mr. Alembik was the only attorney I contacted (and I contacted over five) who was willing to take my case. I had an out of state visitation modification that was very complex (to say the least). Mr. Alembik was constantly reviewing case studies in order to ensure that we had a favorable outcome in court. However, my case was settled in the 24th hour and court was not necessary. I am extremely confident that my case was settled outside of court because Mr. Alembik was a steadfast pillar of knowledge and determination in the midst of conflict. His resolve to seek the best possible outcome for me (and my child) was genuine and heartwarming. It was reassuring to know that he “had my back” no matter what circumstance arose. If you're looking for a no nonsense attorney who will tell you the good, the bad and the ugly, then Mr. Alembik is the right attorney for you. He is straight forward with his advice and his fees. There are no surprises. You know exactly what to expect when it comes to the law and when it comes to billing. Mr. Alembik was readily available when I had a question/concern. I might be a little biased, but I preferred email communication because it allowed us (me and Mr. Alembik) to communicate when it was the most convenient time for the both of us. If a phone call was necessary, he made sure that a specific day/time was established so that we weren’t playing phone tag. Mr. Alembik will amaze you as he exceeds your expectations. If all attorneys were like him, then lawyers wouldn’t have such a bad reputation. Mr. Alembik was truly born to represent the law and I am forever thankful that God sent me this Angel to help me (and my child) in our time of need.
