Saving Grace
Gary did an excellent job with my case. He always had my best interest in mind. He helped guide me through the process and made recommendations when he thought would be important. He helped keep the negoations moving and kept me informed at all times.

Excellent Job!
Gary has done an excellent job with advising us on my Mother's legal needs, and has been a valued counselor for a number of years. Gary periodically checks in with us to see if we have any further needs which speaks alot of his dedication to his clients.

Great attorney
I have known and worked with Gary for 30+ years. Great attorney. Great friend. Gary and I have recently worked on an estate planning case for a very wealthy client. Gary and his staff did an excellent job. Very knowledgeable, creative and responsive.

Gary handled my Father's Estate from 2007-2014
In addition to his superior legal knowledge and tremendous attention to detail, Gary proved highly adept at diffusing controversy among both beneficiaries and adversaries, negotiating win/win solutions to complex and highly emotional issues, and successfully navigating judicial and tax obstacles. One of Gary's major attributes is his ability to patiently explain important matters in layman's terms. Since closing my Father's Estate in 2014, my family has continued to engage Gary to advise and manage other family matters.
