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!

The. Best.

Divorce is the worst, and when life seemed its darkest, Gary Alembik was an absolute light. Gary made me feel very relaxed and informed always; patiently and expertly explaining everything during the difficult process. Many times, I felt he went completely above and beyond; whether it was an early ...morning phone call or an email just to check in. I am eternally grateful for his time and service. I highly recommend Gary to anyone without reservation.

One in a million

Where do I begin? I can't say anything but wonderful things about Gary. I went in to see Gary for a consultation when I was going through a divorce with my spouse. I was very impressed by him from the very beginning. Gary is very knowledgeable of the law. He doesn't push you into doing anything that ...you don't want to do, but he gives you options. Most Attorneys are very busy and so was Gary, but that never stopped him from returning a phone call or an email in a very timely fashion. He is very honest with you and genuinely cares about doing the right thing. I would most definitely recommend hiring Gary to assist you in your legal affairs. My kids and I couldn't have gotten through this without Gary.

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.

Highest Reccomendation

Gary Alembik assisted me last fall with a complex divorce. From our first meeting to the final signature of the documents, he was prompt, strategic, thoughtful, helpful and kind. His prices were fair for the level of service provided. Would highly recommend his firm for any divorce or other family ma...tter.
